Notes about charging the battery

If the indicator light is off, make sure that the battery is inserted correctly.

When the battery is completely discharged, charge it at least 10 minutes before using it with your camera.

Using the flash or recording videos depletes the battery more quickly. Charge the battery until the indicator light turns green.

If the indicator light blinks orange or does not illuminate, 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 indicator light may turn orange. Charging will start when the battery cools down.

Do not pull on the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from the power outlet. This may cause a fire or electric shock.

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

Personal injury or death can occur if the battery is handled carelessly or improperly. For your safety, follow these instructions for proper battery handling:

The battery can ignite or explode if not handled properly. If you notice any deformities, cracks, or other abnormalities in the battery, immediately discontinue use of the battery and contact your manufacturer.

Use only authentic, manufacturer-recommend battery chargers and adapters and charge the battery only by the method described in this user manual.

Do not place the battery near heating devices or expose to excessively warm environments, such as the inside of an enclosed car in the summertime.

Do not place the battery in a microwave oven.

Avoid storing or using the battery in hot, humid places, such as spas or shower enclosures.

Do not rest the device on flammable surfaces, such as bedding, carpets, or electric blankets for a prolonged period.

When the device is switched on, do not leave it in any confined space for a prolonged period.

Do not allow battery terminals to come in contact with metallic objects, such as necklaces, coins, keys, or watches.

NX100 specifications

The Samsung NX100, launched in 2010, marked a significant entry into the mirrorless camera market, showcasing the brand’s commitment to innovation and style in photography. This compact system camera combined versatility with advanced technology, appealing to both amateur and professional photographers alike.

One of the main features of the NX100 is its 14.6-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, which delivers stunning image quality and excellent low-light performance. This sensor size is comparable to that found in many DSLRs, allowing for greater depth of field and better control over exposure. The impressive image resolution enables photographers to capture intricate details without sacrificing clarity, making it ideal for large prints.

In terms of design, the NX100 boasts a sleek and stylish body that is both lightweight and compact, making it easily portable for photography on the go. The camera features a detachable lens system, compatible with Samsung's NX mount lenses, allowing users to tailor their equipment to the specific needs of their shoots. The standard 20-50mm lens provides great versatility for everyday photography.

The NX100 incorporates a Hybrid AF system, combining contrast detection and phase detection to achieve fast and accurate focus, an essential feature for capturing moving subjects. Furthermore, the camera supports continuous shooting at 3 frames per second, enabling users to capture action sequences with ease.

Another notable characteristic of the NX100 is its 3-inch AMOLED display, which offers vibrant colors and excellent viewing angles. This display is crucial for composing shots and reviewing images in varying lighting conditions. Additionally, the camera includes manual control options, giving experienced photographers the flexibility to adjust settings such as shutter speed and aperture, while also providing automatic modes for those looking for ease of use.

The camera's integrated Smart Filter effects allow for creative expression directly in-camera, offering options like Soft Focus, Vignette, and Miniature effects. These filters enhance the creative potential and make experimentation more accessible for users.

Enhanced connectivity is also a key feature, as the NX100 includes Samsung's i-Function technology, allowing users to adjust settings directly from the lens using designated buttons for a seamless shooting experience. The ability to connect via USB and HDMI provides additional convenience for sharing images and videos directly to external devices.

In summary, the Samsung NX100 reflects a blend of sophisticated imaging technology and user-friendly design. Its APS-C sensor, compact build, and innovative features create an appealing option for anyone looking to dive into the world of photography or expand their creative toolkit.
