Connecting to a Power Source  
INFORMATION  
Important information about battery usage  
A non-rechargeable (disposable) battery can be used, but has a short lifespan because  
of its relatively low battery capacity. We recommend the rechargeable battery, which  
has a bigger capacity and longer lifespan than the non-rechargeable type.  
(Rechargeable batteries may not be available everywhere).  
Do not recharge the non rechargeable batteries. This may cause an explosion.  
Please remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for long periods.  
Batteries can lose power over time and are prone to leaking if kept inside the camera.  
Low temperatures (below 0 ) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may  
experience reduced battery life.  
Batteries will usually recover at normal temperatures.  
During extended use of the camera, the camera body may become warm.  
This is perfectly normal.  
If you are planning to use this camera for long periods of time, it is advisable to use an  
AC adapter (3.3V 2.0A).  
Using the AC power adapter (3.3V 2.0A)  
If you have access to a mains supply, using an AC  
Adapter (3.3V 2.0A) allows the camera to be used for  
long periods of time.  
Plug the adapter into the connection point (DC IN  
3.3V) on the camera.  
Remove the batteries from the camera when using an  
AC adapter.  
DANGER  
Always turn off the power before taking the AC adapter out of the mains supply.  
As with all mains powered devices, safety is important. Ensure that neither the camera  
nor adapter comes into contact with water or metallic materials.  
Please ensure that you use an AC adapter (3.3V 2.0A) with the correct specification for  
the camera. Failure to do so may affect your warranty.

Precautions on Using the Memory Stick Duo  
Maintenance of the Memory Stick Duo  
(Hereafter the Memory Stick Duo is referred to as the "Memory Card".)  
Be sure to format the memory card (see p. 66) if you are using a newly  
purchased memory for the first time, if it contains data that the camera  
cannot recognize, 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 fields, 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 has been used in another digital camera or memory card reader.  
Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory card reader.  
Preserving the memory card data  
Do not remove the memory card while the camera status lamp (green) is blinking.  
Doing so will corrupt the data on the memory card.  
Samsung cannot be held responsible for lost data.  
It is advisable to copy important data onto other media as back-up e.g. floppy disks, hard disks,  
CD etc.  
If there are no shots remaining  
When you press the shutter button, a [CARD FULL !] message is displayed and the camera will  
not operate. To optimize the amount of memory in the camera, replace the memory card or  
delete unnecessary images stored in the memory.

Things to watch out for when taking pictures  
INFORMATION  
If the camera is in focus, when you press the SHUTTER button halfway, the camera  
status lamp (green) will light up and the LCD monitor's autofocus mark will turn green.  
If the camera is out of focus, when you press the SHUTTER button halfway, the camera  
status lamp (green) will blink and the LCD monitor's autofocus mark will turn red.  
Should this be the case, the camera is unable to capture an image clearly.  
If the camera status lamp (orange) lights up when you press the SHUTTER button  
halfway, the camera is in focus and you can use the flash also.  
The camera status lamp (red) blinks while the flash is charging.  
The camera status lamp (green) blinks while saving a picture to the memory card and  
turns off when saving is finished.  
When the Flash Off or Slow synchro mode is selected in a low lighting condition, the  
camera shake warning indicator (  
) may appear on the LCD monitor. In this case,  
use a tripod, support the camera on a solid surface or change the flash mode to flash  
shot mode.  
Backlight compensated shots : When taking an outdoor shot, avoid facing the sun, as  
the image may be dark because of the strong backlight. In backlight conditions, please  
use Fill-in flash(p.29), Spot metering(p.40) or Exposure compensation(p.31).  
Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.  
As there can be some differences between what is seen through the Viewfinder and the  
resulting image when taken at a range closer than 1.5m, it is recommended that you  
use the LCD monitor to compose these shots.  
Using the LCD monitor extensively will drain the batteries.  
We recommend turning off the LCD monitor and using the optical viewfinder as often as  
possible in order to extend battery life.  
Under certain conditions the auto focus system may not perform as expected.  
- When photographing a subject that has little contrast.  
- If the subject is highly reflective or shiny.  
- If the subject is moving at high speed.  
- When there is strong reflected light, or when the background is very bright.  
- When the subject matter has only horizontal lines or the subject is very narrow  
(such as a stick or flagpole).  
- When the surroundings are dark  
- If the subject is the same colour as the background

INFORMATION  
S.FINE is the highest quality and NORMAL is the lowest setting. Choose the setting  
appropriate for your needs.  
This file format complies with the DCF(Design rule for Camera File system).  
Even if the camera should be restarted, the quality setting is maintained.  
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): JPEG is the image compression standard  
developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. This type of compression is most  
commonly used for compressing photos and graphics because it can compress the files  
efficiently without damaging the data.

Metering  
If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to take  
brighter pictures. This can be set in Auto and Manual modes.  
MULTI(  
)
: Exposure will be calculated based on an  
average of the available light in the  
image area. However, the calculation  
will be biased towards the centre of the  
image area. This is suitable for general  
use.  
METERING  
MULTI  
SPOT  
SPOT(  
)
: Only the rectangular area in the center  
of the LCD monitor will be metered for  
light. This is suitable when the subject in the center is exposed correctly,  
regardless of the back lighting.  
INFORMATION  
The default metering mode is Multi pattern metering.  
If the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the spot metering as this may  
result in an exposure error. In this circumstance, rather use exposure compensation.  
Effect  
By using the cameras digital processor, it is possible to add special effects to your images.  
You can select from AUTO, MANUAL, and Movie Clip modes. The value you set will remain

Important notes  
Be sure to observe the following precautions!  
This unit contains precision electronic components. Do not use or store this  
unit in the following locations.  
- Areas exposed to severe changes in temperature and humidity.  
- Areas exposed to dust and dirt.  
- Areas exposed to direct sunlight or the inside of a vehicle in hot weather.  
- Environments where there is high magnetism or excessive vibration.  
- Areas with high explosives or highly flammable materials.  
Do not let the unit come into contact with dust, vinyl goods, or chemicals,  
such as insecticides, for an extended period of time.  
Sand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.  
- Do not let sand get inside the unit when using it on beaches, coastal dunes, or other areas  
where there is lots of sand.  
- Doing so may result in failure or may permanently render the unit unusable.  
Extremes in temperature may cause problems.  
- If the camera is transferred from a cold to a warm and humid environment, condensation can  
form on the delicate electronic circuitry.  
If this occurs, turn the camera off and wait for at least 1 hour until all moisture is dispersed.  
Moisture build up can also occur in the memory card. If this happens, turn off the camera and  
remove the memory card. Wait until the moisture has dispersed.  
Caution on Using the Lens  
- If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in discoloration and deterioration of the  
image sensor.  
- Do not apply excessive force to the zoom lens.  
- Pay attention not to get fingerprints or foreign substances on the surface of the lens.  
If the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric discharge can  
occur. It is a good idea to remove the batteries and the memory card if you  
do not intend using the camera for an extended period of time.  
If the camera is exposed to an electronic interference, it will turn itself off to  
protect the memory card.

Important notes  
Camera Maintenance  
- Use a soft brush (available from photo stores) to gently clean the lens and LCD assemblies.  
If this does not work, lens-cleaning paper with lens cleaning fluid can be used.  
Clean the camera body with a soft cloth. Do not allow this camera to come into contact with  
solvent materials such as benzol, insecticide, thinners etc. This may damage the body shell  
of the camera and also affect its performance.  
Rough handling can damage the LCD monitor. Take care to avoid damage and keep the  
camera in its protective carry case at all times when not in use.  
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the camera.  
Under certain conditions, static electricity can cause the flash unit to fire.  
This is not harmful to the camera and is not a malfunction.  
When images are uploaded or downloaded, the data transfer may be  
affected by static electricity. In this case, disconnect and re-connect the  
USB cable before trying the transfer again.
