Warnings

liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the camera or its accessories.
Keep your camera away from small children and pets

choking or serious injury if swallowed. Moving parts and
accessories may present physical dangers as well.
Prevent damage to subjects’ eyesight

Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from
damage
Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very cold•
or very hot temperatures (below 0° C/32° F or above
40° C/104° F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the
charging capacity of your batteries and can cause
memory cards to malfunction.
Prevent batteries from making contact with metal•
objects, as this can create a connection between the +
and – terminals of your battery and lead to temporary
or permanent battery damage.
Prevent memory cards from making contact with•
liquids, dirt, or foreign substances. If dirty, wipe the
memory card clean with a soft cloth before inserting in
your camera.
Use only Samsung-approved accessories
Using incompatible accessories may damage your
camera, cause injury, or void your warranty.
Protect your camera’s lens
Protect your lens from fingerprints and scratches. Clean
your lens with a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth.
Cautions
Handle and store your camera carefully and sensibly
Do not allow your camera to get wet—liquids can•
cause serious damage. Do not handle your camera
with wet hands. Water damage to your camera can
void your manufacturer’s warranty.
Avoid using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty,•
humid, or poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage
to moving parts and internal components.
Protect your camera from impact, rough handling, and•
excessive vibration to avoid serious damage.
Exercise caution when connecting cables or adapters•
and installing batteries and memory cards. Forcing
the connectors, improperly connecting cables, or
improperly installing batteries and memory cards can
damage ports, connectors, and accessories.
