Digital Image Stabilisation (DIS) mode.
This mode will reduce the effect of camera shake and help you get
a well-exposed image in dim conditions.
1. Select the DIS mode by using the
Mode dial.(p.19)
2. Point the camera towards the subject
and compose the image by using the
LCD monitor.
3. Press the Shutter button to capture an
image.
Things to watch out for using the DIS mode
1. The digital zoom will not operate in the DIS mode.
2. If the lighting conditions are brighter than fluorescent lighting
conditions, the DIS will not activate.

conditions, camera shake warning indicator ( Ã ) will display.
For best results only take pictures in situations where the
camera shake warning indicator ( Ã ) is not displayed.
4. If the subject is moving, the captured image may be blurred.
5. As the DIS uses the camera’s digital signal processor, it may take
a little longer for the camera to process and save the images.

Important notes
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 built up can also
occur on the memory card. If this happens, turn off the
camera and remove the memory card. Wait until the moisture
has dispersed.
Caution on Using the Lens
- If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in the
discoloration and deterioration of the image sensor.
- Take care not to get fingerprints or foreign substances on the
surface of the lens.
If the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric
discharge can occur. It is a good idea to remove the battery and
the memory card if you do not intend using the camera for an
extended period of time.
If the camera is exposed to an electronic interference, it will turn
itself off to protect the memory card.
Camera 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.
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 reconnect the USB cable before trying the transfer again.
Before an important event or going on a trip, you should check
the camera condition.
- Take a picture for testing the camera condition and prepare extra battery.
- Samsung cannot be held responsible for camera malfunctions.
If the digital camera is not used for a long period, the date and time
may adopt the default settings by automatical battery discharged. In
this case, reset the date and time correctly before the recording.
