•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.  
•Avoid using or storing your camera in dusty,  
dirty, humid, or poorly-ventilated areas to  
prevent damage to moving parts and internal  
components.  
•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.  
•Protect your camera from sand and dirt when  
using it on beaches or in other similar areas.  
•Protect your camera from impact, shock,  
bending, or press of heavy goods when you  
connect either cable or power cord. It may  
damage your camera or cable or cause by  
electric shock or fire.

Protect batteries, chargers, and memory  
cards from damage  
•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.  
•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.  
•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.  
•Turn off the camera when inserting or  
removing the memory card.  
•Do not bend, drop, or subject memory cards  
to heavy impact or pressure.  
•Do not use memory cards that have been  
formatted by other cameras or by a computer.  
Reformat the memory card with your camera.  
•Never use a damaged charger, battery, or  
memory card.  
•Exercise caution when connecting cables or  
adaptors 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.  
•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.

Getting your subject in focus  
Under the following circumstances, it may be difficult to get your subject in focus:  
•When the color contrast is not clear  
(When someone is wearing clothes similar in  
color to the background)  
•When the subject is in front of a strong  
backlight  
•When the subject generates strong reflected  
light  
Please try to use the focus lock function.  
•When there is a horizontally repeated line  
pattern(window blinds, etc.)  
Adjust the focus by using the half-shutter  
function where the camera can focus easily.  
Then, simply press the [Shutter] button after  
moving the camera to a desired composition.  
Keep pressing and holding down the half-shutter  
until you actually make a photo shot.  
•When the subject is not located in the center  
•When there is a flat white wall behind the  
subject which does not have specific patterns  
•When there is a fast moving subject  
•When the subject is too close to the camera  
Under the half-shutter state, press the [AEL]  
button of the camera to fix the exposure  
value and focus information at the same time  
according to the setting. To cancel the function,  
press the [AEL] button once more. (CD-ROM  
User manual, page 77)

• If the lens doesn’t have an AF/MF switch  
switch, you may be able to select Manual  
Focus in the AF mode menu  
• The availability of this option differs,  
depending on the lens you are using.  
• When you adjust the focus manually, the  
picture may appear blurred if you don’t  
set the focus accurately. Take pictures  
after setting the focus accurately.  
• When using the manual focus function,  
the AF Area is not available to use.  
• In the movie shooting mode, you can  
not set the focus by using the expanded

that the lens in use has the OIS function.  
To use this function, please set [OIS] to ON.

- When a big vibration occurs beyond the  
range of stabilization  
- When the shutter speed is too slow due to a  
circumstance like night shooting  
OIS

- When the battery capacity is not sufficient  
- When you are shooting a close-up shot  
• When you use a tripod, please disable the OIS  
function since the image can be shaken due to  
the vibration of OIS function.  
OFF  
• If the camera is struck or dropped while you are  
taking a picture, the display can be impaired.  
If this occurs, turn the camera off and then on,  
and the camera should operate normally again.  
• Since the battery consumption can increase  
along with the use of OIS function, it is  
recommended to use the function only if  
needed.  
• To set the OIS function by using the menu,  
set [OIS] of lens to ON. This function may not  
operate depending on the lens model.

the condition of the maximum aperture (minimum f-number) in the shooting mode. Use the Depth of Field

to its current f-stop number.  
What is the depth of field?  
Press the [Depth Preview] in the Shooting

When you focus on a specific subject, there is a  
range in which objects closer and further away  
are all in focus. This focused range is called the  
depth of field.  
The wider the wide-angle lens, the higher the  
aperture value, the greater the depth of field.  
For example, the aperture stop, f 11 is higher  
than f 2.8.

Recording a movie  
• H.264 (MPEG-4 part10/AVC) is the latest  
video coding format established in 2003  
collaboratively by ISO-IEC and ITU-T. Since  
this format uses a high compression rate,  
more data can be saved in less memory  
space.  
• If you use a slow writing memory card, your  
movie's recording can be interrupted because  
the card can not process data at the rate the  
video is being shot. If this occurs, replace the  
card with a faster memory card or reduce the  
image size.  
• If you have the image stabilizer option on when  
shooting a movie, the camera may record the  
image stabilizer sound.  
• When the size of a movie file exceeds 4GB,  
the camera automatically stops recording.  
If this occurs, continue the movie by starting a  
new movie file.  
• If you remove the camera lens while recording  
a movie, the recording will be interrupted. Do  
not change the lens while recording.  
• While you shoot a movie, the camera can  
record the sounds of the zoom mechanism  
working and the sounds the camera makes  
when you press the buttons.  
• If you change the shooting angle of the  
camera suddenly while shooting a movie, the  
camera may not be able to record images  
accurately. We recommend using a tripod  
when shooting a movie. In this way, you can  
minimize camera shake.  
• In the Movie Shooting mode, the camera  
supports only the Multi AF function. You can not  
use any other focus area setting functions, such  
as Face Detection AF.  
• When formatting a memory card, always  
format using this camera. If you format on  
another camera or a PC, you can cause a  
change in the capacity of the card or make it  
incompatible with your camera.

Setting the image quality of a picture  
• The camera saves RAW file format images  
without data loss and only in the 14M (4592 x

balance, contrast, saturation, and sharpness, etc.  
are not reflected in the image, they are saved as  
information. If you want to save the RAW data  
into an image file format such as JPEG or TIFF,  
use the provided software (SAMSUNG RAW  
Converter). RAW files have an "SRW" extension.  
(For example: “SAM_9999.SRW”)  
The camera saves pictures in either in the JPEG  
or RAW format. The compression ratio is reduced  
as the image quality gets better. It is necessary  
to increase the file size to have a better quality  
picture.

• You can take a better picture if the subject is

1st Curtain, 2nd Curtain  
Adjusting the ISO sensitivity  
The following images were obtained by taking the  
pictures of straight-moving subject along with the  
respective options of 1st Curtain and 2nd Curtain.  
In case of using the 1st Curtain flash function,  
the front part of action is remained clearly since  
the flash will burst light immediately upon shutter  
opening. Since the flash bursts the light at a later  
time when having used the 2nd Curtain option,  
the picture expresses the last image of the subject  
clearly.  
The ISO sensitivity, as the film sensitivity  
established by the international standards  
organization (ISO), represents the degree of  
reaction when camera receives light. Since it  
reacts more sensitively with greater ISO value, a  
natural shot can be obtained in a dark place by  
raising the ISO value. This reduces the degree of  
camera shaking with faster shutter speed.  
In Shooting mode, press [MENU].
