User Manual  
PL100/PL101  
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.
