  -  If you use this camera in wet places, such as beach or pool, do 
not let water or sand get inside the camera. Doing so may result in 
failure or may permanently damage the unit.

Extremes in temperature may cause problems.
 -  If the camera is transferred from a cold to a warm and humid envi-
ronment, 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 on the 
memory card. If this happens, turn off the camera and remove the 
memory card. Wait until the moisture has dispersed.

 Caution on Using the Lens
 -  If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in the discol-
oration and deterioration of the image sensor.
 -  Take care not to get fingerprints or foreign substances on the sur-
face of the lens.

If the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric dis-
charge 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.
Important notes

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

Camera 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.

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the camera.

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

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.

Before 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.
