Note —notes, usage tips, or additional information
Safety warnings
Do not use your camera near flammable or explosive gases and liquids
Do not use your camera near fuels, combustibles, or flammable chemicals. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the camera or its accessories.
Keep your camera away from small children and pets
Keep your camera and all accessories out of the reach of small children and animals. Small parts may cause choking or serious injury if swallowed. Moving parts and accessories may present physical dangers as well.
Prevent damage to subjects’ eyesight
Do not use the flash in close proximity (closer than 1 m/3 ft) to people or animals. Using the flash too close to your subject’s eyes can cause temporary or permanent damage.
Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care
t
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers.
Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries or damage to your camera.
t Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local regulations when disposing of used batteries.
t Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.
Avoid interference with pacemakers
Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between cameras and pacemakers to avoid potential interference, as recommended by manufacturers and the independent research group, Wireless
Technology Research. If you have any reason to suspect that your camera is interfering with a pacemaker or other medical device, turn off the camera immediately and contact the manufacturer of the pacemaker or medical device for guidance.

Health and safety information
Safety precautions
Handle and store your camera carefully and sensibly
t Do not allow your camera to get wet—liquids can cause serious damage. Do not handle your camera with wet hands. Water damage to your camera can void your manufacturer’s warranty.
t Do not expose the camera to direct sunlight or high temperatures for an extended period of time. Prolonged exposure to sunlight or extreme temperatures can cause permanent damage to your camera’s internal components.
t Avoid using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty, humid, or poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage to moving parts and internal components.
t Remove the batteries from your camera when storing it for an extended period of time. Installed batteries may leak or corrode over time and cause serious damage to your camera.
t Protect your camera from sand and dirt when using it on beaches or in other similar areas.
t Protect your camera from impact, rough handling, and excessive vibration to avoid serious damage.
t Exercise caution when connecting cables or adapters and installing batteries and memory cards. Forcing the connectors, improperly connecting cables, or improperly installing batteries and memory cards can damage ports, connectors, and accessories. t Do not insert foreign objects into any of your camera’s compartments, slots, or access points. Damage due to improper use may not be covered by your warranty.
Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from damage
t Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 0º C/32º F or above 40º C/104º F).
Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity of your batteries and can cause memory cards to malfunction.
t Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this can create a connection between the + and – terminals of your battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage.
t Prevent memory cards from making contact with liquids, dirt, or foreign substances. If dirty, wipe the memory card clean with a soft cloth before inserting in your camera.
t Do not allow liquids, dirt, or foreign substances to come in contact with the memory card slot. Doing so may cause the camera to malfunction.
t Turn off the camera when inserting or removing the memory card.
t Do not bend, drop, or subject memory cards to heavy impact or pressure.
t Do not use memory cards that have been formatted by other cameras or by a computer. Reformat the memory card with your camera.
t Never use a damaged charger, battery, or memory card.
2
Use only Samsung-approved accessories
Using incompatible accessories may damage your camera, cause injury, or void your warranty.
Health and safety information
Protect your camera’s lens
t Do not expose the lens to direct sunlight, as this may discolor the image sensor or cause it to malfunction.
t Protect your lens from fingerprints and scratches. Clean your lens with a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth.
Important usage information
Allow only qualified personnel to service your camera
Do not allow unqualified personnel to service the camera or attempt to service the camera yourself. Any damage that results from unqualified service is not covered by your warranty.
Follow all safety warnings and regulations
Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a camera in a certain area.
Turn off the camera near medical equipment
Your camera can interfere with medical equipment in hospitals or health care facilities. Follow all regulations, posted warnings, and directions from medical personnel.
Ensure maximum battery and charger life
t
Overcharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is finished, disconnect the cable from your camera.
t Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged before use.
t Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.
t Use batteries only for their intended purpose.
Turn off the camera when in an aircraft
Your camera can cause interference with aircraft equipment.
Follow all airline regulations and turn off your camera when directed by airline personnel.
Exercise caution when using the camera in humid environments
When transferring the camera from a cold environment to a warm and humid one, condensation can form on the delicate electronic circuitry and memory card. In this situation, wait for at least 1 hour until all moisture has evaporated before using the camera.
Avoid interference with other electronic devices
Your camera emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere with unshielded or improperly shielded electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing aids, medical devices, and other electronic devices in homes or vehicles. Consult the manufacturers of your electronic devices to solve any interference problems you experience.

Using the Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, or Manual mode
Adjust aperture value or shutter speed to control the exposure of your photos. You can use these options in the Aperture Priority, Shutter
Priority, and Manual modes.
Aperture value
The aperture is a hole through which light is admitted. You can adjust the aperture value to control how much light reaches the lens when you capture a photo. By decreasing the aperture value
(opening the aperture wider), more light will enter and objects that are farther away will appear out of focus. This is good for closeup or portrait shots to draw attention to the main subject.
Alternatively, as you increase the aperture value, objects from near to far are in sharp focus. This is good for landscape shots to show the entire scope of the scene.
Shutter speed
Shutter speed controls how long the camera's shutter remains open when you capture a photo. When you decrease the shutter speed, more light enters your camera and the photo will appear brighter. However, a slower shutter speed can also result in blurry photos if either the subject or the camera is moving.
When you increase the shutter speed, the photo will appear darker. However, a faster shutter speed will also reduce the blurring if your subject or the camera is in motion.
Slow shutter speed Fast shutter speed
