Caution  
Leaking, overheating, or burst batteries could result in fire or injury.  
Use batteries with the correct specification for the camera.  
Do not short circuit, heat or dispose of batteries in fire.  
Do not insert the batteries with the reverse polarities.  
Remove the batteries when not planning to use the camera for a long period of time.  
Batteries may leak corrosive electrolyte and permanently damage the camera's components.  
Do not fire the flash while it is in contact with hands or objects.  
Do not touch the flash after using it continuously. It may cause burns.  
Do not move the camera while it is switched on, if you are using the AC Power Adapter.  
After use, always switch off the camera before unplugging the adapter from the wall socket.  
Then make sure that any connector cords or cables to other devices are disconnected before  
moving the camera. Failure to do so may damage the cords or cables and cause a fire or  
electric shock.  
A non-rechargeable (disposable) battery can be used but has a short lifespan because of its  
relatively low battery capacity. We recommend the rechargeable battery which has a bigger  
capacity and longer lifespan than the non rechargeable type. (Rechargeable batteries may  
not be available everywhere).

Connecting to a Power Source  
There are two ways in which to provide the camera with power. You can use batteries or  
alternatively, you can use an AC(100 ~ 250V) Adapter (DC 3.3V 2.0A).  
We recommend using batteries for a digital camera (Within a year from the date of  
manufacture). The batteries are listed below.  
Non rechargeable batteries : AA type  
- Alkaline, Ni-Mn, Ni-Zn, Lithium  
CR-V3 type - Lithium  
Rechargeable batteries  
: AA type  
- Ni-MH(Samsung SNB-2312 recommended)  
Ni-Cd(over 1000mAh)  
CR-V3 type - Samsung SBP-1303(Lithium Ion battery)  
INFORMATION  
Important information about battery usage  
It is easy to buy alkaline batteries. However, the duration for using batteries varies in  
accordance with the battery manufacturer or the photographic conditions.  
When the camera is not used, turn off the camera power.  
Do not recharge the non rechargeable batteries. It may cause an explosion.  
Please remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for long periods. Batteries can  
lose power over time and are prone to leaking if kept inside the camera.  
We recommend high capacity ALKALINE batteries as manganese batteries cannot  
deliver sufficient power.  
Low temperatures (below 0 ) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may  
experience reduced battery life.  
Batteries will usually recover at normal temperatures.  
Do not use old and new batteries at the same time.  
During extended use of the camera, the camera body may become warm.  
This is perfectly normal.  
Using the AC power adapter (3.3V 2.0A)  
If you have access to a mains supply, using an AC  
Adapter (3.3V 2.0A) allows the camera to be used  
for long periods of time.  
Plug the adapter into the connection point (DC IN  
3.3V) on the camera.  
Remove the batteries from the camera when using  
an AC adapter.

Connecting to a Power Source  
DANGER  
Always turn off the power before taking the AC adapter out of the mains supply.  
As with all mains powered devices, safety is important. Ensure that neither the camera  
nor adapter comes into contact with water or metallic materials.  
Please ensure that you use an AC adapter (3.3V 2.0A) with the correct specification for  
the camera. Failure to do so may affect your warranty.  
: If the camera does not turn on after you have inserted batteries,  
Using the batteries  
please check whether the batteries are inserted with the correct  
polarity(+/-).  
1. Open the battery chamber cover by pushing in the direction of  
the arrow.  
2. Insert the batteries taking note of the  
polarity (+ / -).

Instructions on how to use the memory card  
Maintenance of the memory card  
Be sure to format the memory card (see p.71) if you are using a newly purchased memory for  
the first time, if it contains data that the camera cannot recognise, or if it contains images  
captured with a different camera.  
Turn off the camera power whenever the memory card is being inserted or removed.  
Repeated use of the memory card will eventually reduce the memory card’s performance.  
Should this be the case, you will need to purchase a new memory card.  
Wear and tear on the memory card is not covered by the Samsung warranty.  
The memory card is an electronic precision device.  
Do not bend, drop or subject the memory card to any heavy impact.  
Do not store the memory card in an environment with strong electronic or magnetic fields,  
e.g. near loud speakers or TV receivers.  
Please do not use or store in an environment where there are extremes in temperature.  
Do not allow the memory card to become dirty or to come into contact with any liquid.  
Should this happen, clean the memory card with a soft cloth.  
Please keep the memory card in its case when not in use.  
During and after periods of extended use, you may notice that the memory card is warm.  
This is perfectly normal.  
Do not use a memory card that is used in another digital camera.  
To use the memory card in this camera, format first the memory card by using this camera.  
Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory card reader.  
Preserving the memory card data  
If the memory card is subjected to any of the following, the recorded data may become  
corrupted :  
- When the memory card is used incorrectly.  
- If the power is switched off or the memory card is removed while recording, deleting  
(formatting) or reading.  
Samsung cannot be held responsible for lost data.  
It is advisable to copy important data onto other media as back-up e.g. floppy disks, hard  
disks, CD etc.  
If there is insufficient memory available : If you press the shutter button for the shot, a  
[CARD FULL !] message will appear and the camera will not operate. To optimise the  
amount of memory in the camera, replace the memory card or delete unnecessary images  
stored on the memory.

Metering  
If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to  
take brighter pictures.  
MULTI (  
)
: Exposure will be calculated based on  
an average of the available light in the  
image area. However, the calculation  
will be biased towards the centre of  
the image area. This is suitable for  
general use.

SPOT (  
)
: Only the rectangular area in the centre  
of the LCD monitor will be metered for  
light. This is suitable when the subject

in the centre is exposed correctly, regardless of the back lighting.  
INFORMATION  
The default metering mode is Multi pattern metering.  
If the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the spot metering as this may  
result in an exposure error. In this circumstance, rather use exposure compensation.

Important notes  
Be sure to observe the following precautions!  
This 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.  
Do not let the unit come into contact with dust, vinyl goods, or chemicals, such as  
insecticides, for an extended period of time.  
Sand 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.  
Extremes 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.  
Caution 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.  
If 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.

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.
