DANGER
N’essayez pas de faire une quelconque modication sur votre
appareil photo. Toute modication pourrait causer un choc élec-
trique, 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 in-
ammables ou de gaz explosifs, car cela pourrait augmenter
les risques d’explosion.
N’insérez pas et ne laissez pas tomber d’objets métalliques ou
inammables 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.
N’utilisez pas le ash à proximité des personnes ni des
animaux. Le positionnement du ash trop près des yeux du
sujet peut causer des dommages à la vue.
Pour des raisons de sécurité, rangez cet appareil et ses
accessoires dans un endroit hors de la portée des enfants et
des animaux an 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 immédiatement.
-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 an 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 déformation du
boîtier ou provoquer un incendie. Utilisez toujours votre appareil
photo et ses accessoires dans un endroit bien ventilé.
AVERTISSEMENT
Le symbole «AVERTISSEMENT» indique un danger éventuel qui,
si vous ne suivez pas les consignes de sécurité, peut entraîner des
blessures graves, voire mortelles.

MISE EN GARDE
Faites attention à ne pas toucher l’objectif ou le couvercle
de l’objectif an d’éviter de prendre des images oues et de
provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement de l’appareil.
Ne déclenchez jamais le ash tant que vous le touchez ou qu’
il est en contact avec un objet. Ne pas toucher le ash 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, vériez 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
’appareil photo ne peut pas reconnaître ou encore, si elle
contient des photos prises avec un appareil photo différent.
Vériez 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’
appareil photo.
L’ordinateur risque fortement de rencontrer des problèmes
