PREPARATION

Connecting to Power

There are two ways in which to provide the camera with power. You can use batteries(AA Alkaline), or alternatively, you can use an AC Adapter (DC 3.3V / 2.0A).

Using the batteries

1. Open the battery chamber cover by pushing in the direction of the arrow.

2. Insert the batteries taking note of the polarity (+ / -).

3. To close the battery chamber cover, push it until it clicks.

PREPARATION

INFORMATION

This camera will automatically switch off when not in use for a period of time. Refer to

[POWER OFF] function (p.68).

NOTICE

Important information about battery usage

Please remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for long periods. Batteries can lose power over time and are prone to leaking if kept inside the camera.

We recommend high–capacity ALKALINE batteries as manganese batteries cannot deliver sufficient power.

Low temperatures (below O°C) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may experience reduced battery life.

Batteries will normally recover at normal temperatures.

Do not use old and new batteries at the same time.

During extended use of the camera, the camera body may become warm. This is perfectly normal. If you are planning to use this camera for long periods of time, it is advisable to use an AC adapter.

PREPARATION

Using the AC power adapter

If you have access to a mains supply, using an AC Adapter allows the camera to be used for long periods of time. If you connect the camera to a computer, it is advisable to use an AC adapter, as this will enable extended use.

Plug the adapter into the connection point (DC IN 3.3V) on the camera.

DANGER/ NOTICE

Always turn off the power before taking the AC adapter out of the mains supply.

As with all mains powered devices, safety is important. Ensure that neither the camera nor adapter comes into contact with water or metallic materials.

Please ensure that you use an AC adapter with the correct specification for the camera (3.3v

/2.0A). Failure to do so may affect your warranty.

Attaching the strap

To prevent accidental damage to the camera, always use the strap.

Refer to the illustrations below

27

PREPARATION

Inserting the SD memory card

The camera comes with 8MB of internal flash memory, allowing you to store images and movie clips in the camera. However, you can expand the memory capacity by using an optional SD memory card([CARD] stands for the SD memory card) so that you can store more images and movie clips.

1. Turn off the camera power and pull the card cover in the direction of the arrow to open.

2. Insert the card all the way into the card slot. The card pins and the

LCD monitor should face in the same direction. The card will be fitted.

3. To close, push the card cover toward the arrow until you hear a click.

Once the CARD is inserted, the SD memory card indicator will appear on the LCD monitor.

If the CARD does not fit, check that it is inserted correctly. Do not force the card.

NOTICE

Insert the Multi Media Card(MMC) in the same way as the SD memory card is inserted.

Should you insert the Multi Media Card in the opposite direction, it may still slide in, but part of it will project from the slot and it will not fit correctly. Do not force the card and don't close the battery chamber cover. Check the directions and re-insert the card correctly.

28

PREPARATION

The CARD has a write protect switch that prevents image files from being deleted or formatted. By sliding the switch to the bottom of the card, the data will be protected. By sliding the switch to the top of the card, the data protection will be canceled. Check the switch position before taking an image.

Maintenance of the SD memory card

Turn off the camera power whenever the CARD is being inserted or removed.

Repeated use of the CARD will eventually reduce the card’s performance. Should this be the case, you will need to purchase a new CARD. Wear and tear on the CARD is not covered by the Samsung warranty.

The CARD is an electronic precision device. Do not bend, drop or subject the card to any heavy impact.

Do not store the CARD in an environment with strong electronic or magnetic fields, e.g. near loud speakers or TV receivers.

Please do not use or store in an environment where there are extremes in temperature.

Do not allow the CARD to become dirty or to come into contact with any liquid. Should this happen, clean the card with a soft cloth.

Please keep the CARD in its case when not in use.

During and after periods of extended use, you may notice that the CARD is warm. This is perfectly normal.

31

32

PREPARATION

Preserving the SD memory card data

If the card is subjected to any of the following, the recorded data may become corrupted :

- When the CARD is used incorrectly.

- If the power is switched off or the CARD is removed while recording, deleting(formatting) or reading.

Samsung cannot be held responsible for lost data.

It is advisable to copy important data onto other media as back-up e.g. floppy disks, hard disks,

CD etc.

NOTICE

Camera shake warning.

When the Flash Off mode is selected, the camera shake warning indicator ( ) may appear on the LCD monitor. In this case, use a tripod, support the camera on a solid surface or change the flash mode to flash shot mode.

Backlight compensated shot

When taking an outdoor shot, avoid facing the sun, as the image may be dark because of the strong backlight. In backlight conditions, please use the exposure compensation (refer to page 50).

Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you take an image.

As there can be some differences between what is seen through the Viewfinder and the resulting image when taken at a range closer than 1.5m, it is recommended that you use the

LCD monitor to compose the shot.

Using the LCD monitor extensively will drain the batteries.

We recommend turning off the LCD monitor and using the optical viewfinder as often as possible in order to extend battery life.

Images can be dim under the following circumstances.

- In Macro focus mode, if the distance from a subject is closer than 0.18m or farther than

0.25m. Keep the distance between 0.18m~0.25m in Macro focus mode.

- In Portrait focus mode, if the distance from a subject is closer than 0.8m or farther than

1.3m. Keep the distance between 0.8m~1.3m in Portrait focus mode.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Caution!

Your new Samsung camera is a precision instrument. Whilst it is designed to withstand general wear and tear, there are some important points that will help you get maximum service and reliability from your camera.

The following should be avoided :

Severe changes in temperature and humidity.

Dust and dirt.

Direct sunlight or the inside of a vehicle in hot weather.

Environments where there is high magnetism or excessive vibration.

Areas with high explosives or which are highly flammable materials.

Pesticides, etc.

Sand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.

Sand or other small particulates can cause severe malfunctions.

Ensure that there is no contact with sand or similar particles.

Extremes in temperature may cause problems.

If the camera is transferred from a cold to a warm and humid environment, condensation can form on the delicate electronic circuitry. If this occurs, turn the camera off and wait for at least 1 hour until all moisture is dispersed. Moisture build up can also occur in the CARD. If this happens, turn off the camera and remove the

CARD. Wait until the moisture has dispersed.

77

78

IMPORTANT NOTES

If the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric discharge can occur. It is a good idea to remove the batteries and the CARD, the camera is not used for some time.

If the camera is exposed to electronic interference, it will turn itself off to protect the

CARD.

Maintenance

Use a soft brush (available from photo stores) to GENTLY clean the lens and LCD assemblies. If this does not work, lens-cleaning paper with lens cleaning fluid can be used.

Clean the camera body with a soft cloth. Do not allow this camera to come into contact with solvent materials such as benzol, insecticide, thinners etc.

This may damage the body shell of the camera and also affect its performance.

Rough handling can damage the LCD monitor. Take care to avoid damage and keep the camera in its protective carry case at all times when not in use.

DO NOT attempt to disassemble or modify the camera. It contains delicate parts and there are high voltage circuits that can cause electric shocks.

Under certain conditions, static electricity can cause the flash unit to fire.

This is not harmful to the camera and is not a malfunction.

When images are uploaded or downloaded, the data transfer may be affected by static electricity. In this case, disconnect and re-connect the USB cable before trying the transfer again.
