CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, may result in a minor or moderate injury.
Remove the battery when not planning to use the camera
for a long period of time.
Otherwise the battery may leak corrosive electrolyte and
permanently damage the camera's components.
Leaking, overheating, or damaged battery could result in fire
or injury.
- Use battery with the correct specification for the camera.
- Do not short circuit, heat or dispose of battery in fire.
- Do not insert the battery with the polarities reversed.
Be sure to format the memory card if you are using a newly
purchased memory for the first time, if it contains data
that the camera cannot recognise, or if it contains images
captured with a different camera.
Do not fire the flash while it is in contact with hands or
objects. Do not touch the flash after using it continuously. It
may cause burns.
Credit cards may be demagnetized if left near a camera
case.
Avoid leaving magnetic strip cards near the case.
Do not move the camera while it is switched on when you
are using the AC Charger. After use, always switch off the
camera before unplugging the cable from the wall socket.
Then make sure that any connector cords or cables to other
devices are disconnected before moving the camera. Failure
to do so may damage the cords or cables and cause a fire
or electric shock.
Take care not to touch the lens or lens cover to avoid taking
an unclear image and possibly causing camera malfunction.
Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an
image.
Before inserting any cables or AC adapter, check the
directions and do not insert by force. It may cause breakage
of cable or camera.
It is highly likely to result in computer malfunctions when
the 20 pin connector is connected to the USB port of a PC.
Never connect the 20 pin connector to USB port of a PC.
Do not insert the memory card the wrong way round.
Doing so may cause damage to the camera.
Before an important event or going on a trip, you should
check the camera condition. Samsung cannot be held
responsible for camera malfunctions.
