Health and safety information
tꢀDo 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.
Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from
damage
tꢀAvoid 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.
tꢀAvoid using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty, humid, or
poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage to moving parts and
internal components.
tꢀPrevent 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.
tꢀRemove 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.
tꢀProtect your camera from sand and dirt when using it on
beaches or in other similar areas.
tꢀPrevent 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.
tꢀProtect your camera from impact, rough handling, and
excessive vibration to avoid serious damage.
tꢀTurn off the camera when inserting or removing the memory
card.
tꢀExercise caution when connecting cables or adapters 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.
tꢀDo not bend, drop, or subject memory cards to heavy impact
or pressure.
tꢀDo not use memory cards that have been formatted by other
cameras or by a computer. Reformat the memory card with
your camera.
tꢀDo 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.
tꢀNever use a damaged charger, battery, or memory card.

Health and safety information
Use only Samsung-approved accessories
Exercise caution when using the camera in humid
environments
Using incompatible accessories may damage your camera,
cause injury, or void your warranty.
When transferring the camera from a cold environment to a warm
and humid one, condensation can form on the delicate electronic
circuitry and memory card. In this situation, wait for at least 1 hour
until all moisture has evaporated before using the camera.
Protect your camera’s lens
tꢀDo not expose the lens to direct sunlight, as this may discolor
the image sensor or cause it to malfunction.
Check that the camera is operating properly before use
tꢀProtect your lens from fingerprints and scratches. Clean your
lens with a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth.
The manufacturer takes no responsibility for any loss of files or
damage that may result from camera malfunction or improper
use.
Important usage information
Allow only qualified personnel to service your camera
Do not allow unqualified personnel to service the camera or
attempt to service the camera yourself. Any damage that results
from unqualified service is not covered by your warranty.
Ensure maximum battery and charger life
tꢀOvercharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is
finished, disconnect the cable from your camera.
tꢀOver time, unused batteries will discharge and must be
recharged before use.
tꢀDisconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.
tꢀUse batteries only for their intended purpose.
