PREPARATION

Connecting to Power

There are two ways in which to provide the camera with power. You can use batteries(AA

Alkaline or CR-V3), or alternatively, you can use an AC Adapter (DC 6V / 2.0A).

Using the batteries

1 Open the battery chamber cover by pushing in the direction of the arrow.

2 Insert the batteries taking note of the polarity (+ / -).

3 To close the battery chamber cover, push it until it clicks.

Reference

This camera will automatically switch off when not in use for a period of time.

We recommend high???capacity ALKALINE batteries (2000mAh) as manganese batteries cannot deliver sufficient power.

Note

Important information about battery usage

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 O??C) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may

experience reduced battery life.

Batteries will normally recover at normal temperatures.

Do not use old and new batteries at the same time.

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.

READY

PREPARATION

Using the AC power adapter

If you have access to a mains supply, using an AC Adapter allows the camera to be used for long periods of time. If you connect the camera to a computer, it is advisable to use an AC adapter, as this will enable extended use.

Plug the adapter into the connection point (DC IN 6V) on the camera. Please ensure that you use an AC adapter with the correct specification for the camera (6v /2.0A).

Failure to do so may affect your warranty.

WARNING

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.

Attaching the strap

To prevent accidental damage to the camera, always use the strap.

Refer to the illustrations below

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 occours, turn the camera off and wait for at least 1 hour until all moisture is dispersed. Moisture build up can also occour 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 interferance, 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, lens-cleaning paper with lens cleaning fluid can be used.

Clean the camera body with a soft cloth. Do not allow this camera 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, dis-connect and re-connect the USB cable before trying the transfer again.
