Warnings
Do not use your camera near flammable or
explosive gases and liquids
Do not use your camera near fuels, combustibles, or
flammable chemicals. Do not store or carry flammable
liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the camera or its accessories.
Keep your camera away from small children
and pets
Keep your camera and all accessories out of the reach

choking or serious injury if swallowed. Moving parts and
accessories may present physical dangers as well.
Prevent damage to subjects’ eyesight
Do not use the flash in close proximity (closer than
1m/3 ft) to people or animals. Using the flash too
close to your subject’s eyes can cause temporary or
permanent damage.

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers.
Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause
serious injuries or damage to your camera.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local
regulations when disposing of used batteries.

Situations that could cause damage to your camera or other equipment
Cautions
Handle and store your camera carefully and
sensibly
Do not allow your camera to get wet—liquids can
cause serious damage. Do not handle your camera
with wet hands. Water damage to your camera can
void your manufacturer’s warranty.
Avoid using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty,
humid, or poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage
to moving parts and internal components.
Protect your camera from impact, rough handling,
and excessive vibration to avoid serious damage.
Exercise 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.
Do not insert foreign objects into any of your
camera’s compartments, slots, or access points.
This type of damage may not be covered by your
warranty.

Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards
from damage
Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very
cold or very hot temperatures (below 0°C/32°F or
above 40°C/104°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.
Use only Samsung-approved accessories
Using incompatible accessories may damage your
camera, cause injury, or void your warranty.
Protect your camera’s lens
Protect your lens from fingerprints and scratches.
Clean your lens with a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth.
