How to use the AUTO mode

Please select this mode for quick and easy picture taking with minimal user interaction.

1. Insert the battery (p.16) taking note of the correct polarity (+ / -).

2. Insert the memory card (p.16). As this camera has a 20MB internal memory, it is not essential to insert the memory card. If the memory card is not inserted, an image will be stored in the internal memory. If the memory card is inserted, an image will be stored on the memory card.

3.Close the battery chamber cover.

4.Press the power button to turn on the camera.

(If the date / time that is displayed on the LCD monitor is incorrect, reset the date / time before taking a picture.)

5.Select the AUTO mode by rotating the mode dial.

6.Point the camera towards the subject and compose the image by using the LCD monitor.

7.Press the shutter button to capture an image.

If the Auto focus area turns to red when you press the shutter button down half way, it means that the camera cannot focus on the subject. Should this be the case, the camera is unable to capture an image clearly.

Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.

How to use the PROGRAM mode

Selecting the program mode will configure the camera with optimal settings. You can still manually configure all functions except the aperture value and shutter speed.

1. Select the PROGRAM mode by rotating the mode dial.

2. Press the horizontal smart button to configure advanced functions such as image size (p.36), quality (p.39), metering (p.37) and continuous shooting (p.36).

Furthermore, the cameras include advanced face detection and smile detection functionalities, which enhance portrait photography by ensuring that subjects are always in focus and well-exposed.

The NV20 models also feature video recording capabilities, enabling users to capture high-quality videos in addition to still images. This versatility makes the camera an excellent choice for documenting special moments and events.

With its sleek design, high-resolution sensor, versatile zoom range, and user-friendly features, the Samsung EC-NV20ZSBA/E2, EC-NV20ZBBA/E2, and EC-NV20ZBBA/E3 present a compelling option for anyone looking to enhance their photography experience.
