Instructions on how to use the memory card

If the memory card is subjected to any of the following, the
recorded data may become corrupted :
- When the memory card is used incorrectly.
- If the power is switched off or the memory card is removed
while recording, deleting (formatting) or reading.
Samsung cannot be held responsible for lost data.
It is advisable to copy important data onto other media as back-up
e.g. fl oppy disks, hard disks, CD etc.
If there is insuffi cient memory available :
A [Memory Full] message will appear and the camera will not
operate. To optimise the amount of memory in the camera,
replace the memory card or delete unnecessary images stored
on the memory card.
Don't remove the memory card when the camera status lamp is
blinking as this may cause damage to data in the memory card.
Be sure to format the memory card (see p.48) if you are using
a newly purchased memory card for the fi rst time, if it contains
data that the camera cannot recognise, or if it contains images
captured with a different camera.
Turn off the camera power whenever the memory card is being
inserted or removed.
Repeated use of the memory card will eventually reduce the
memory card’s performance. Should this be the case, you will
need to purchase a new memory card. Wear and tear on the
memory card is not covered by the Samsung warranty.
The memory card is an electronic precision device.
Do not bend, drop or subject the memory card to any heavy
impact.
Do not store the memory card in an environment with strong
electronic or magnetic fi elds, e.g. near loud speakers or TV
receivers.
Please do not use or store in an environment where there are
extremes in temperature.
Do not allow the memory card to become dirty or to come into
contact with any liquid. Should this happen, clean the memory
card with a soft cloth.
Please keep the memory card in its case when not in use.
During and after periods of extended use, you may notice that the
memory card is warm. This is perfectly normal.
Do not use a memory card that is used in another digital camera.
