Important notes

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 in the memory card. If this happens, turn off the camera

and remove the memory card. Wait until the moisture has dispersed. Caution on Using the Lens

-If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in discoloration and deterioration of the image sensor.

-Don't get fingerprints or foreign substances on the surface of the lens.

If the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric discharge can occur. It is a good idea to remove the batteries and the memory card if you do not intend using the camera for an extended period of time.

If the camera is exposed to an electronic interference, it will turn itself off to protect the memory card.

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

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the camera.

Under certain conditions, static electricity can cause the flash unit to fire. This is not harmful to the camera and is not a malfunction.

When images are uploaded or downloaded (when the charger and USB cable are inserted into the cradle at the same time), the data transfer may be affected by static electricity. In this case, disconnect and re-connect the USB cable before trying the transfer again.

Before an important event or going on a trip, you should check the camera condition.

-Take a picture to test the camera and always carry a spare fully charged battery.

-Samsung cannot be held responsible for camera malfunctions.

Do not use headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and can be illegal in some areas. Avoid using headphones/earphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuously loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
