Handling a memory card
SELECTING A SUITABLE MEMORY CARD
(NOT SUPPLIED)
•
Damaged data may not be recoverable. We recommend you make a back-
up of important data separately on the hard disk of your PC.
Compatible memory cards
•
•
•
Turning the power off or removing a memory card during an operation such
as formatting, deleting, recording, and playback may cause data loss.
•
You can use micro SD, micro SDHC, and micro SDXC cards with this
product.
If you modify the name of a file or folder stored in the memory card with your
PC, your product may not recognize the modified file.
We recommend you use a micro SDHC card. This product supports micro
SD cards up to 2GB. We cannot guarantee normal operation with micro SD
cards bigger than 2GB.
The micro memory card does not support any data recovery mode.
Therefore, care should be taken to prevent the memory card from being
damaged while recording.
•
•
MMC (Multi Media Card) and MMC Plus are not supported.
Compatible memory cards and capacities:
- micro SD card: 1GB ~ 2GB
•
•
We recommend that you power off the product before inserting or removing
the memory card to avoid data loss.
- micro SDHC card: 4GB ~ 32GB
- micro SDXC card: ~ up to 64GB
Make sure to format the memory card in this product. If the memory card
has been formatted by a PC or other device, using it on this product without
reformatting may cause recording and/or playback failure. Samsung is
not responsible for damage to recorded contents caused by incompatible
formatting.
•
•
•
•
•
When you use unauthorized memory cards, the product cannot record
videos correctly and your recordings may be lost.
The memory cards released after this product was released may not be
compatible with the product.
To ensure stable recording and playback, use 4MB/s (Class 4) or higher
memory cards.
Micro SDHC and micro SDXC cards are a higher version of micro SD
memory cards and support higher capacity than micro SD memory cards.
•
•
You have to format newly-purchased memory cards, memory cards with
data that your product cannot recognize, or cards with data saved by other
devices. Note that formatting erases all data on the memory card. Erased
data cannot be recovered.
A memory card has a certain life span. If you cannot record new data, you
have to purchase a new memory card.
Use micro SD cards only with micro SD enabled host devices.
•
•
Do not bend, drop, or subject the card to strong impacts.
Do not place foreign substances on the memory card terminals. Use a soft
dry cloth to clean the terminals if required.
Usable memory card
•
Do not paste anything other than the label provided with the card on the
label pasting area of the card.
•
•
Do not use a damaged memory card.
Be careful to keep the memory card out of the reach of children, who might
swallow it.

This product supports micro SD, micro SDHC, and micro
SDXC memory cards, giving you a wider choice of cards!
Using the memory card adaptor
This product uses micro SD, micro SDHC, and
micro SDXC memory cards.
To use a memory card directly with a computer or
a card reader you must attach it to or insert it into
an adaptor.
The data storage speed may differ, depending on the
manufacturer and production system.
•
•
SLC (Single Level Cell) system: faster write speed enabled.
MLC (Multi Level Cell) system: only lower write speed is
supported.
For best results, we recommend using a memory card that
supports a faster write speed.
Using a lower write speed memory card for recording video
may cause difficulties when the card is storing. You may even
lose your video data during the recording.
•
•
Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse, including
loss caused by any PC virus.
We recommend storing memory cards in memory card cases to
avoid data loss that can be caused by moving the card or by static
electricity.
In an attempt to preserve every bit of the recorded video, the
product forcibly stores the video on the low speed memory
card and displays a warning:
•
After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is normal
and is not a malfunction.
Low speed card. Please record at a lower resolution.
If you are unavoidably using a low speed memory card, the
resolution of the recording may be lower than the set value.

A subject can be recorded under various types of lighting conditions
indoors (natural, fluorescent, candlelight, etc.). Because the color
temperature is different depending on the light source, the subject's

•
Each country or region has its own electric and video color

What is dew condensation?
Dew condensation happens when a product is moved to a
location where there is a significant temperature difference
from the previous location. The dew condenses on the external
or internal parts of the product, and on the reflection lens. If
there is dew on or in your product, it may cause the product to
malfunction or damage the product when you turn the power on.
Exactly when does dew condensation occur?
•
Before using your product abroad, check the following items.

GLOSSARY
AF (Auto Focus)
F. No (F-Number)
A system that automatically focuses the product lens on the subject. Your product
uses the contrast to focus automatically.
The F-number defines the ratio of the focal length to the size of the lens aperture
(focal length/diameter of lens aperture). The smaller the F-number, the larger the
lens aperture and the greater the amount of light that reaches the product’s sensor.
Generally, smaller F-numbers provide brighter images.
Aperture
The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the product’s sensor.
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 defines the latest video coding format standardized by the ISO-
IEC and the ITU-T in 2003. Compared with the conventional MPEG-2 format, MPEG-4
AVC/H.264 has more than twice the efficiency. Your product employs MPEG-4
AVC/H.264 to encode high definition videos.
Composition
Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo. Usually, abiding by
the rule of thirds leads to a good composition.
Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS)
Product shake (Blur)
CMOS is an image sensor producing images approaching the quality of CCD (charge
coupled device) sensors. It consumes less power, meaning a longer battery life on your
product.
If the product is moved while the shutter is open, the entire image may appear blurred.
This occurs more often when the shutter speed is slow. Prevent product shake by
raising the sensitivity, using a faster shutter speed. Alternately, use a tripod, the DIS or
OIS function to stabilize the product.
Digital zoom
Quality
A feature that artificially increases the amount of zoom available with the zoom lens
(Optical zoom). When using the Digital zoom, the image quality will deteriorate as the
magnification increases.
An expression of the rate of compression used in a digital image. Higher quality images
have a lower rate of compression, which usually results in a larger file size.
Effective Pixel Count
Resolution
Unlike the total pixel count, this is the actual number of pixels used to capture an
image.
The number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution images contain more
pixels and typically show more detail than low resolution images.
Exposure
Shutter speed
The amount of light allowed to reach the product’s sensor. Exposure is controlled by a
combination of the shutter speed, the aperture value, and ISO sensitivity.
Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter. This
is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as it controls the amount of light
which pass through the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. A fast shutter
speed provides less time for light to enter. The photo becomes darker, but more easily
freezes subjects in motion.
Focal length
The distance from the middle of the lens to its focal point (in millimeters). Longer focal
lengths result in narrower angles of view and the subject is magnified. Shorter focal
lengths result in wider angles of view.
White balance (color balance)
An adjustment of the intensities of colors (typically the primary colors red, green, and
blue) in an image. The goal of adjusting the white balance, or color balance, is to
correctly render the colors in an image.
