Prevent damage to subjects’ eyesight Warning—situations that could cause injury to yourself or others Do not use the ﬂash in close proximity (closer than 1 m/3 ft) to people or animals. Using the ﬂash too close to your subject’s eyes can cause temporary or permanent damage. Caution—situations that could cause damage to your camera or other equipment Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care Note—notes, usage tips, or additional information t Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers. Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries or damage to your camera. t Never dispose of batteries in a ﬁre. Follow all local regulations when disposing of used batteries. t Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated. Safety warnings Do not use your camera near ﬂammable or explosive gases and liquids Do not use your camera near fuels, combustibles, or ﬂammable chemicals. Do not store or carry ﬂammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the camera or its accessories. Safety precautions Handle and store your camera carefully and sensibly Keep your camera away from small children and pets t 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. Keep your camera and all accessories out of the reach of small children and animals. Small parts may cause choking or serious injury if swallowed. Moving parts and accessories may present physical dangers as well. 1 Health and safety information t Do not expose the camera to direct sunlight or high temperatures for an extended period of time. Prolonged exposure to sunlight or extreme temperatures can cause permanent damage to your camera’s internal components. t Avoid using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty, humid, or poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage to moving parts and internal components. t Remove the batteries from your camera when storing it for an extended period of time. Installed batteries may leak or corrode over time and cause serious damage to your camera. t Protect your camera from sand and dirt when using it on beaches or in other similar areas. t Protect your camera from impact, rough handling, and excessive vibration to avoid serious damage. t 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. t Do not insert foreign objects into any of your camera’s compartments, slots, or access points. Damage due to improper use may not be covered by your warranty. Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from damage t Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 0º C/32º F or above 40º C/104º F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity of your batteries and can cause memory cards to malfunction. t 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. t 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. t Turn off the camera when inserting or removing the memory card. t Do not bend, drop, or subject memory cards to heavy impact or pressure. t Do not use memory cards that have been formatted by other cameras or by a computer. Reformat the memory card with your camera. t Never use a damaged charger, battery, or memory card. 2 Health and safety information Use only Samsung-approved accessories Exercise caution when using the camera in humid environments Using incompatible accessories may damage your camera, cause injury, or void your warranty. When transferring the camera from a cold environment to a warm and humid one, condensation can form on the delicate electronic circuitry and memory card. In this situation, wait for at least 1 hour until all moisture has evaporated before using the camera. Protect your camera’s lens t Do not expose the lens to direct sunlight, as this may discolor the image sensor or cause it to malfunction. t Protect your lens from ﬁngerprints and scratches. Clean your lens with a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth. Check that the camera is operating properly before use The manufacturer takes no responsibility for any loss of ﬁles or damage that may result from camera malfunction or improper use. Important usage information Allow only qualiﬁed personnel to service your camera Do not allow unqualiﬁed personnel to service the camera or attempt to service the camera yourself. Any damage that results from unqualiﬁed service is not covered by your warranty. Ensure maximum battery and charger life t Overcharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is ﬁnished, disconnect the cable from your camera. t Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged before use. t Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use. t Use batteries only for their intended purpose. 3 Organization of the user manual Basic functions ©2009 Samsung Electronics America, Inc. 10 Learn about your camera’s layout, icons, and basic functions for shooting.
