Warnings

Situations that could cause injury to yourself or others

Handle and store your camera carefully and sensibly

Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from damage

Do not use your camera near flammable or explosive gases and liquids

Do not use your camera near fuels, combustibles, or flammable chemicals. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the camera or its accessories.

Keep your camera away from small children and pets

Keep your camera and all accessories out of the reach of small children and animals. Small parts may cause choking or serious injury if swallowed. Moving parts and accessories may present physical dangers as well.

Prevent damage to subjects’ eyesight

Do not use the flash in close proximity (closer than 1m/3 ft) to people or animals. Using the flash too close to your subject’s eyes can cause temporary or permanent damage.

Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers. Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries or damage to your camera.

Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local regulations when disposing of used batteries.

Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.

Do not allow your camera to get wet—liquids can cause serious damage. Do not handle your camera with wet hands. Water damage to your camera can void your manufacturer’s warranty.

Avoid using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty, humid, or poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage to moving parts and internal components.

Protect your camera and monitor from impact, rough handling, and excessive vibration to avoid serious damage.

Exercise caution when connecting cables or adapters and installing batteries and memory cards. Forcing the connectors, improperly connecting cables, or improperly installing batteries and memory cards can damage ports, connectors, and accessories.

Do not insert foreign objects into any of your camera’s compartments, slots, or access points. This type of damage may not be covered by your warranty.

Use caution with earphones

Do not use earphones while driving, cycling, or operating motorised vehicles. Doing so may create a traffic hazard and may be illegal in some areas.

Use only the minimum volume setting necessary. Listening to earphones at high volumes can damage your hearing.

Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 0°C/32°F or above 40°C/104°F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity of your batteries and can cause memory cards to malfunction.

Prevent batteries from contacting metal objects, as this can create a connection between the + and – terminals of your battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage.

Prevent memory cards from making contact with liquids, dirt, or foreign substances. If dirty, wipe the memory card clean with a soft cloth before inserting in your camera.

Use only Samsung-approved accessories

Using incompatible accessories may damage your camera, cause injury, or void your warranty.

Protect your camera’s lens

Protect your lens from fingerprints and scratches. Clean your lens with a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth.
