DANGER
N’essayez pas de faire une quelconque modification sur votre ap-
pareil photo. Toute modification pourrait causer un choc électrique,
un incendie, des blessures corporelles ou des dommages à l’
appareil photo. L’inspection interne de l’appareil, l’entretien et les
réparations doivent être uniquement réalisées par votre revendeur
ou le Centre de service après-vente de Samsung.
Si un liquide ou un objet pénètre dans l’appareil, prenez garde de
ne pas utiliser ce dernier. Éteignez l’appareil photo, puis coupez l
’alimentation (piles ou adaptateur secteur). Prenez contact avec
votre revendeur ou le Centre de service après-vente de Samsung.
D’ici là, n’utilisez en aucun cas l’appareil pour éviter tout incendie
et toute électrocution.
Veillez à ne pas utiliser cet appareil à proximité de produits inflam-
mables ou de gaz explosifs, car cela pourrait augmenter les risques
d’explosion.
N’insérez pas et ne laissez pas tomber d’objets métalliques ou
inflammables dans l’appareil photo par les points d’accès, par
exemple le logement de la carte mémoire et le compartiment de
piles. Cela peut provoquer un incendie ou un choc électrique.
Ne manipulez pas cet appareil avec des mains humides. Cela
pourrait causer un incendie ou un choc électrique.
Le symbole «DANGER» avertit d’un danger imminent qui, si vous ne
suivez pas les consignes de sécurité, peut entraîner des blessures
graves, voire mortelles.
AVERTISSEMENT
N’utilisez pas le flash à proximité des personnes ni des ani-
maux. Le positionnement du flash trop près des yeux du sujet
peut causer des dommages à la vue.
Pour des raisons de sécurité, rangez cet appareil et ses ac-
cessoires dans un endroit hors de la portée des enfants et des
animaux afin de prévenir tout accident et notamment:
-Ingestion des piles ou des petits accessoires de l’appareil
photo. En cas d’accident, veuillez consulter un médecin im-
médiatement.
-Les pièces mobiles de l’appareil photo peuvent provoquer des
blessures.
Il se peut que la pile et l’appareil chauffent lors d’une utilisation
prolongée. Cela peut provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement de
l’appareil. Si cela devait se produire, laissez l’appareil au repos
quelques minutes afin qu’il refroidisse.
Ne laissez pas cet appareil dans des endroits très chauds, tels
que les véhicules fermés, en exposition à la lumière directe du
soleil ou exposés à des variations extrêmes de température. L’
exposition à des températures extrêmes risque d’endommager
les composants internes de l’appareil photo et provoquer un
incendie.
En cours d’utilisation, ne couvrez pas l’appareil photo ou le
chargeur. Cela risque de provoquer un réchauffement et la dé-
formation du boîtier ou provoquer un incendie. Utilisez toujours
votre appareil photo et ses accessoires dans un endroit bien
ventilé.
Le symbole «AVERTISSEMENT» indique un danger éventuel qui, si
vous ne suivez pas les consignes de sécurité, peut entraîner des
blessures graves, voire mortelles.

Découvrir votre appareil photo
MISE EN GARDE
Faites attention à ne pas toucher l’objectif ou le couvercle
de l’objectif afin d’éviter de prendre des images floues et de
provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement de l’appareil.
Ne déclenchez jamais le flash tant que vous le touchez ou qu’
il est en contact avec un objet. Ne pas toucher le flash après l’
utilisation. Cela causerait un incendie.
Les fuites, la surchauffe ou l’explosion des piles pourraient
causer des blessures ou un incendie.
- Assurez-vous d’utiliser uniquement des piles comportant les
caractéristiques qui conviennent à votre appareil photo.
- Ne mettez pas les piles en court-circuit, ne les chauffez pas
et ne les jetez pas au feu.
- N’insérez pas la pile en inversant les polarités.
Retirez les piles lorsque vous prévoyez de ne pas utiliser l’
appareil photo pendant une longue période.
En cas contraire, il se peut qu’il y ait une fuite d’électrolyte
corrosif au niveau de la pile, ce qui peut endommager les
composants de l’appareil photo de manière permanente.
Le symbole «MISE EN GARDE» avertit d’un danger éventuel qui, si
vous ne suivez pas les consignes de sécurité, peut entraîner des
blessures légères ou assez graves.
Avant un événement important ou un voyage, vérifiez l’état de l
’appareil photo. Samsung ne saurait être tenu responsable des
conséquences en cas de mauvais fonctionnement de l’appareil
photo.
Assurez-vous de formater la carte mémoire si vous l’utilisez
pour la première fois ou si elle contient des données que l’ap-
pareil photo ne peut pas reconnaître ou encore, si elle contient
des photos prises avec un appareil photo différent.
Vérifiez le sens d‘insertion de la carte mémoire et insérez-la
ensuite correctement.
Les cartes de crédit risquent d’être démagnétisées lorsqu’elles
se trouvent à proximité de l’appareil photo.
Évitez donc de laisser des cartes magnétiques près de l’ap-
pareil photo.
Utiliser un adaptateur secteur qui ne correspond pas aux caractéri-
stiques de l’appareil photo risque d’endommager celui-ci. Nous recom-
mandons l’utilisation de la pile fournie ou d’une batterie rechargeable
exclusive.
ÄAdaptateur secteur disponible
Tension : 3.3V, Ampérage : 2.0A, Diamètre: 2.35
Avant de mettre l’appareil photo sous tension, vérifiez le type de la bat-
terie et assurez-vous que le réglage de l’appareil photo [PARAMÈTRES]
> [TYPE BAT.] est identique au type de la batterie.
