result in fire, injury, electric shock or severe damage to you or your
camera. Internal inspection, maintenance and repairs should only
be carried out by your dealer or Samsung Camera Service centre.
Please do not use this product in close proximity to flammable or
explosive gases, as this could increase the risk of explosion.

of electric shock.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Do not use the flash in close proximity to people or animals. Position-
ing the flash too close to your subject’s eyes may cause eyesight
damage.
For safety reasons keep this product and accessories out of reach of
children or animals to prevent accidents e.g.:
- Swallowing battery or small camera accessories. If an accident
should occur, please consult a doctor immediately.
- There is the possibility of injury from the camera’s moving parts.
Battery and camera may become hot during prolonged use and it
may result in camera malfunction. Should this be the case, allow the
camera to sit idle for a few minutes to allow it time to cool.
Do not leave this camera in places subject to extremely high tem-
peratures, such as a sealed vehicle, direct sunlight or other places
of extremes in temperature. Exposure to extreme temperatures may
adversely affect the camera’s internal components and could cause a

heat to build up and distort the camera body or cause a fire. Always
use the camera and its accessories in a well-ventilated area.

3
Caution
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in a minor or moderate injury.
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.
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.
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.

Do not move the camera while it is switched on, if 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 un-
clear image and possibly causing camera malfunction.
Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.
When using this camera in low temperatures, you may experience the
following. These are not camera malfunctions and usually recover at
normal temperature.
- It takes more time to turn on the LCD monitor and the colour may
differ from the subject.
- When changing the composition, there may be an after image on the
LCD monitor.
Never connect the 20 pin connector to the USB port of a PC. This
carries a high risk of computer malfunction.
Credit cards may be demagnetized if left near case. Avoid leaving
magnetic strip cards near the case.

Instructions on how to use the memory card
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.
floppy disks, hard disks, CD etc.
If there is insufficient 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 blink-
ing as this may cause damage to data in the memory card.
Be sure to format the memory card (see p.58) if you are using a newly
purchased memory card for the first 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 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 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.
