ˆThis 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.

ˆDo not leave this camera in places subject to dust, chemicals (like naphthalene
and mothball), high temperature and high humidity.
Keep this camera with silica gel in a hermetically sealed box when not planning
to use the camera for a long period of time

ˆSand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.

Important notes

ˆExtremes 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 built 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.

ˆCaution 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.

ˆIf the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric discharge can
occur. 
It is a good idea to remove the battery and the memory card if you do not intend
using the camera for an extended period of time.

ˆIf the camera is exposed to an electronic interference, it will turn itself off to
protect the memory card.
ˆCamera 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.

ˆDo not attempt to disassemble or modify the camera.

ˆUnder certain conditions, static electricity can cause the flash unit to fire. This is
not harmful to the camera and is not a malfunction.

ˆWhen images are uploaded or downloaded (when the charger and USB cable
are inserted into the cradle(optional) at the same time), the data transfer may be
affected by static electricity.
In this case, disconnect and re-connect the USB cable before trying the transfer
again.

ˆBefore 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 battery.
- Samsung cannot be held responsible for camera malfunctions.
