Camera maintenance

If you reconnect the power cable when the battery is fully charged, the status lamp turns on for approximately 30 minutes.

Using the flash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly. Charge the battery until the red status lamp turns off.

If the status lamp blinks in red, reconnect the cable, or remove the battery and insert it again.

If you charge the battery when the cable is overheated or the temperature is too high, the status lamp may blink in red. Charging will start when the battery cools down.

Overcharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is finished, disconnect the cable from your camera.

Do not bend or place heavy objects on the AC cable. Doing so may damage the cable.

Notes about charging with a computer connected

Use only the provided USB cable.

The battery may not charge when:

-you use a USB hub

-other USB devices are connected to your computer

-you connect the cable to the port on the front side of your computer

-the USB port of your computer does not support the power output standard (5 V, 500 mA)

Released as part of Samsung's EX series, the EX2F is notable for its exceptional lens, advanced features, and user-friendly interface.

One of the standout features of the EX2F is its f/1.4 lens, which is one of the brightest lens openings in the compact camera segment. This allows for superior light capture, making it ideal for low-light photography while also enabling beautiful background blur (bokeh) for portraits. The camera is equipped with a 1/1.7-inch BSI CMOS sensor, ensuring outstanding image quality and low noise even at higher ISO settings.

The EX2F offers versatility with its 24mm ultra-wide angle to 80mm telephoto zoom range. This allows users to capture everything from sweeping landscapes to intimate portraits without the need for multiple lenses. The camera also features a dual zoom function, which provides additional cropping options without sacrificing resolution.

Image stabilization is another important aspect of the EX2F, as it includes Samsung’s Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) technology. This feature is invaluable for reducing blurs caused by handheld shooting, particularly in low-light conditions or during longer exposure times.

For those who enjoy sharing their photography, the Samsung EX2F comes with Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing users to instantly upload their photos to social media or transfer images to their smartphones and tablets. The camera also features a tilting AMOLED display, which enables easy composition of shots from various angles as well as providing rich and vibrant color representation for capturing images and reviewing photography work.

In addition to its photographic capabilities, the EX2F supports full HD video recording, ensuring that users can capture high-quality videos alongside still images. Advanced shooting modes, including manual controls, provide seasoned photographers the flexibility they crave, while presets cater to those who prefer an automated approach.

With a compact and stylish design, the Samsung EX2F is an excellent choice for those looking for a powerful camera that fits easily into a pocket or bag. Its combination of exceptional lens quality, advanced imaging technologies, and convenient features make it a valuable tool for capturing and sharing stunning photographs.
