Health and safety information
Always comply with the following precautions and usage tips to avoid dangerous situations and ensure peak performance of your camera.
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.
t Do not use a damaged power supply cord, plug, or loose
outlet when charging batteries. This may cause a ﬁre or electric
shock.
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.
Keep your camera away from small children and pets
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.

Health and safety information
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.
t Do not swing your camera by the strap. This may cause injury
to yourself or others.
t Do not paint your camera, as paint can clog moving parts and
prevent proper operation.
t Paint or metal on the outside of the camera may cause
allergies, itchy skin, eczema, or swelling for people with
sensitive skin. If you have experience any of these symptoms,
stop using the camera immediately and consult a doctor.
Safety precautions
Handle and store your camera carefully and sensibly
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.
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.
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. Also, this may cause a ﬁre or electric shock.
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.

Health and safety information
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.
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.
Use only Samsung-approved accessories
Using incompatible accessories may damage your camera,
cause injury, or void your warranty.
Exercise caution when using the camera in humid
environments
Protect your camera’s lens
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.
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.

Overexposure (too bright)
Common questions
You can get answers to common questions. Solve problems easily by setting shooting options.
The subject's eyes
appear red.
This is caused by a reﬂection from the camera ﬂash.
t Set the ﬂash option to
Red-eye or
Red-eye Fix. (p. 45)
Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 73)
t If the photo has already been taken, select
Photos have dust
spots.
Dust particles ﬂoating in the air may be captured in photos when using the ﬂash.
t Turn off the ﬂash or avoid taking photos in a dusty place.
t Set ISO speed options. (p. 46)
Photos are blurred.
This may be caused by taking photos in low light conditions or holding the camera incorrectly.
t Press [Shutter] halfway down to make sure the subject is focused. (p. 26)
t Use the d mode. (p. 33)
Photos are blurred
when shooting at
night.
As the camera tries to let in more light, the shutter speed slows.
This can make it difﬁcult to steady the camera and may result in camera shake.
t Rotate the mode dial to N. (p. 31)
t Turn on the ﬂash. (p. 45)
t Set ISO speed options. (p. 46)
t Use a tripod to prevent your camera from shaking.
Subjects come out
too dark because of
backlighting.
When the light source is behind the subject or when there is a high contrast between
the light and dark areas, the subject may come out shaded.
t Avoid shooting in front of the sun.
t Select
Backlight in the s mode. (p. 30)
t Set the ﬂash option to Fill in. (p. 45)
t Set the Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) option. (p. 54)
