å 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 on the memory card. If this happens, turn off the
camera and remove the memory card. Wait until the moisture
has evaporated.

å Caution on Using the Lens

- If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in the

discoloration and deterioration of the image sensor.

- Take care not to get fingerprints or foreign substances on the

surface of the lens.

å If the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric

discharge can occur. It is a good idea to remove the battery
and the memory card if you do not intend to use the camera
for an extended period of time.

å If the camera is exposed to electronic interference, it will turn

itself off to protect the memory card.

å 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 screen. Take care to avoid damage and keep
the camera in its protective carry case at all times when not in
use.

å Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the camera.

å Under certain conditions, static electricity can cause the flash

unit to fire. This is not harmful to the camera and is not a
malfunction.

å 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.

å Before an important event or going on a trip, you should

check the camera condition.

- Take a picture to test the camera’s condition and prepare an extra battery.
- Samsung cannot be held responsible for camera malfunctions.

å If the digital camera is not used for a long period, the date and

time may return to the default settings because the battery has
discharged. In this case, reset the date and time before the
recording.
