Batteries will usually recover at normal temperatures.

During extended use of the camera, the camera body may become warm. This is perfectly normal.

You can charge the rechargeable battery (SLB-0837(B)) by using the SAC-47 KIT which consists of the AC adapter (SAC-47) and the USB cable (SUC-C3). When the SAC-47 and SUC-C3 are combined, they can be used as an AC cable.

Instructions on how to use the memory card

Be sure to format the memory card (see p.49) if you are using a newly purchased memory card for the fi rst time, if it contains data that the camera cannot recognise, or if it contains images captured with a different camera.

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

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

The memory card is an electronic precision device.

Do not bend, drop or subject the memory card to any heavy impact.

Do not store the memory card in an environment with strong electronic or magnetic fi elds, 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 memory card to become dirty or to come into contact with any liquid. Should this happen, clean the memory card with a soft cloth.

Please keep the memory card in its case when not in use.

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

Do not use a memory card that is used in another digital camera.

To use the memory card in this camera, format the memory card using this camera.

Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory card reader.

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

- When the memory card is used incorrectly.

- If the power is switched off or the memory 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.

fl oppy disks, hard disks, CD etc.

If there is insuf fi cient memory available :

A [Memory Full!] message will appear and the camera will not operate. To optimise the amount of memory in the camera, replace the memory card or delete unnecessary images stored on the memory card.

Don't remove the memory card when the camera status lamp is blinking as this may cause damage to data in the memory card.

Metering

If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to take brighter pictures.

[Spot] ( ) :

LCD monitor will be metered for light. This is suitable when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly, regardless of the back lighting.

[Center We ighted] ( ): Exposure will be calculated based on an average of the available light in the image area. However, the calculation will be biased towards the centre of the image area. This is suitable for taking a picture of small object like a fl ower or insects.

Ä If the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the spot metering as this may result in an exposure error. In this circumstance, it is better to use exposure compensation.

Drive mode

You can select continuous shot, and AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing).

[Single] ( ) : only.

[Continuous] ( ) : continuously until the shutter button is

DRIVE released.

Single

[Motion Capture] ( ) : This takes 5 shots per second, when the shutter is pressed and held down. The maximum number of shots is 30 and the image size is fi xed as VGA.

[AEB] ( ) : exposures: short exposure (-1/3EV), standard exposure (0.0EV), and over exposure

(+1/3EV).

High resolution and picture quality increases fi le saving time, which increases stand-by time.

If the [Continuous], [Motion Capture] or [AEB] sub menu is selected, the fl ash will be off automatically.

If less than 3 pictures are available in the memory, the AEB shooting is not available.

It is best to use a tripod for the AEB shooting as the time to save each image fi le is longer and blurring caused by camera shake may occur.

Auto increasing the ISO sensitivity. However, the image may be saturated in high luminance.

The higher the ISO value, the higher the camera’s sensitivity to light and therefore the greater its capacity to take pictures in dark conditions. However, the noise level in the image will increase as the ISO value increases, making the image appear coarse.

Important notes

Be sure to observe the following precautions!

This unit contains precision electronic components. Do not use or store this unit in the following locations.

- Areas exposed to severe changes in temperature and humidity.

- Areas exposed to dust and dirt.

- Areas exposed to 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 highly flammable materials.

Do not leave this camera in places subject to dust, chemicals (like naphthalene and mothballs), high temperature and high humidity.

Keep this camera with silica gel in a hermetically sealed box when not planning to use the camera for a long period of time

Sand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.

- Do not let sand get inside the camera when using it on beaches, coastal dunes, or other areas where there is lots of sand.

- Doing so may result in failure or may permanently render the camera unusable.

Handling the camera

- Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.

- Protect the large size LCD monitor from an impact. When this camera is not used, keep it in the camera case.

- Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.

- This camera is not waterproof.

To avoid dangerous electrical shocks, never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.

- If you use this camera in wet places, such as beach or pool, do not let water or sand get inside the camera. Doing so may result in failure or may permanently damage the unit.

73

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.
