Be sure to observe the following precautions!
¡áThis unit contains precision electronic components. Do not use or store this unit in the
following locations.
- Areas exposed to severe changes in temperature and humidity.
- Areas exposed to dust and dirt.
- Areas exposed to direct sunlight or the inside of a vehicle in hot weather.
- Environments where there is high magnetism or excessive vibration.
- Areas with high explosives or highly flammable materials.
¡á
Do not let the unit come into contact with dust, vinyl goods, or chemicals, such as insecticides,
for an extended period of time.
¡áSand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.
- Do not let sand get inside the unit when using it on beaches, coastal dunes, or other areas
where there is lots of sand.
- Doing so may result in failure or may permanently render the unit unusable.
¡áHandling the camera
- Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
- This camera is not waterproof. To avoid dangerous electrical shocks, never hold or operate
the camera with wet hands.
- If you use this camera in wet places, such as beach or pool, do not let water or sand get
inside the camera.
¡áExtremes in temperature may cause problems.
- If the camera is transferred from a cold to a warm and humid environment, condensation
can form on the delicate electronic circuitry. If this occurs, turn the camera off and wait for at
least 1 hour until all moisture is dispersed. Moisture build up can also occur in the memory
card. If this happens, turn off the camera and remove the memory card. Wait until the
moisture has dispersed.

¡áCaution on Using the Lens
- If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in discoloration and deterioration of
the image sensor.
- Pay attention not to get fingerprints or foreign substances on the surface of the lens.
¡áIf the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric discharge can occur.
It is a good idea to remove the batteries and the memory card if you do not intend using the
camera for an extended period of time.
¡áIf the camera is exposed to an electronic interference, it will turn itself off to protect the
memory card.
¡áCamera Maintenance
- Use a soft brush (available from photo stores) to gently clean the lens and LCD assemblies.
If this does not work, lens-cleaning paper with lens cleaning fluid can be used.
Clean the camera body with a soft cloth. Do not allow this camera to come into contact with
solvent materials such as benzol, insecticide, thinners etc. This may damage the body shell
of the camera and also affect its performance. Rough handling can damage the LCD
monitor. Take care to avoid damage and keep the camera in its protective carry case at all
times when not in use.
¡áDo not attempt to disassemble or modify the camera.
¡áUnder certain conditions, static electricity can cause the flash unit to fire. This is not harmful 
to the camera and is not a malfunction.
¡á
When images are uploaded or downloaded, the data transfer may be affected by static electricity.
In this case, disconnect and re-connect the USB cable before trying the transfer again.
¡áBefore an important event or going on a trip, you should check the camera condition.
- Take a picture for testing the camera condition and prepare extra batteries.
- Samsung cannot be held responsible for camera malfunctions.
