IMPORTANT NOTES
Caution!
Your new Samsung camera is a precision instrument. Whilst it is designed to withstand general wear and tear, there are some important points that will help you get maximum service and reliability from your camera.
The following should be avoided :
Severe changes in temperature and humidity.
Dust and dirt.
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. Pesticides, etc.
Sand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.
Sand or other small particulates can cause severe malfunctions.
Ensure that there is no contact with sand or similar particles.
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 CF CARD. If this happens, turn off the camera and remove the CF CARD.
Wait until the moisture has dispersed.
IMPORTANT NOTE
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 CF CARD if the camera is not used for some time.
If the camera is exposed to electronic interference, it will turn itself off to protect the CF CARD.
Maintenance
Use a soft brush (available from photo stores) to GENTLY clean the lens and LCD assemblies. If this does not work,
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.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble or modify the camera. It contains delicate parts and there are high voltage circuits that can cause electric shocks.
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

Note
Important information whilst using the Removable Disk
The [Removable Disk] indicator will not show when the camera power is off.
We recommend that you should copy the images to the PC to view them. Opening images directly from the removable disk may be subject to unexpected disconnection.
When uploading images from the PC to the camera, ensure that the uploaded file names are not the same as those already stored on the CF CARD.
Files with the same file name but different extensions (e.g : S2300001.jpg/S2300001.avi), JPG file format will
appear first. And if the displayed file is deleted, all the same file name images are deleted.
When you upload a file that is not taken by this camera to Removable Disk, the ERROR FILE message will be displayed on the LCD monitor in PLAY mode, and nothing is displayed in THUMBNAIL mode.
The green lamp next to the viewfinder will blink, when a file is transferred (copy or deletion) between the PC and camera. Do not remove the USB cable or rotate the mode dial until the lamp stops blinking. To remove the USB cable, use the [Unplug or Eject Hardware] icon on the task bar. In Windows 2000, take extra care, as the following may occur.
1.When an image file from the Removable Disk is deleted : The green lamp will blink for about 10 seconds after file deletion is completed.
2.When an image file is transferred between PC and Removable Disk : The green lamp will blink again
The work is not completed until the lamp has finished blinking.
When uploading the sound recorded image to the camera, you should upload both WAV and JPG files. For example, if you upload S2300001.wav file to the camera, the S2300001.jpg file has to be uploaded too.
