Instructions on how to use the memory card

Be sure to format the memory card (see p.84) if you are using a newly purchased memory card 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 the memory card using this camera.

Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory card reader.

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:

A [Memory 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 card.

Don’t remove the memory card when the camera status lamp is blinking as this may cause damage to data in the memory card.

At the core of the EC-WB550 models is a powerful 12.2-megapixel CCD sensor that delivers stunning image quality with vibrant colors and impressive detail.

Whether users are shooting distant subjects or crafting stunning close-ups, the WB550 series provides exceptional clarity and detail. Coupled with Samsung's SMART Auto technology, the camera intelligently analyzes the scene around it and optimizes the settings accordingly. This makes taking great photos easier than ever, even for novice photographers.

Another standout feature is the integrated Dual Image Stabilization system, which combines both Optical Image Stabilization and Digital Image Stabilization. This helps reduce blurriness caused by shaky hands or fast-moving subjects, ensuring that each photo is sharp and clear.

The EC-WB550’s 3.0-inch AMOLED display enhances the shooting experience, providing vivid colors and great viewing angles. This user-friendly screen allows for easy navigation through menus and settings, as well as the ability to review images with accuracy. Furthermore, the camera's compact and stylish design makes it easy to carry, fitting comfortably in pockets or bags.

The camera also supports HD video recording at a resolution of 720p, making it possible to capture life’s moments in motion with clarity and detail. Users can enjoy a range of artistic options, thanks to multiple scene modes, including Portrait, Night, and Macro.

Other notable features of the Samsung EC-WB550 series include face detection technology, which ensures improved focus on subjects, and smart filters that facilitate creative effects, enriching the overall photography experience.
