Instructions on how to use the memory card

Be sure to format the memory card (see p.58) if you are using a newly purchased memory card for the ???rst 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 ???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. To use the memory card in this camera, format the memory card using this camera.

Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory card reader.

The data on the memory card can be corrupted if:

-The memory card is used incorrectly.

-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. ???oppy disks, hard disks, CD etc.

If there is insuf???cient memory available :

A [Memory Full] message will appear and the camera will not operate. To optimize 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.

Waterproof management

You can use this camera underwater to a maximum depth of 9.8 feet (3m) in an ocean, lake, or similar underwater environment for one hour. To ensure the camera operates properly underwater, you must practice the correct waterproof management before and after using the camera, as follows.

?? Before using the camera

1.Make sure that there is no dirt, dust, or sand on the camera and that the lens is always kept clean.

-If there is foreign matter or moisture on the battery chamber cover or the USB cover, wipe them with a smooth, lint free cloth. Also check if there are any scratches on the waterproof seal.

2.Make sure that the battery chamber cover and the USB cover make a clicking sound when closing them, so that they are ???rmly shut.

?? Do not open the battery chamber cover or the USB cover under- water, with a wet hand, or in any environment that has a great deal of moisture and dirt.

??While using the camera:

-Do not use the camera under water at a depth of more than 9.8 feet (3m).

-Do not use the camera continuously for over one hour under water.

-Do not open the battery chamber cover and the USB cover under water.

-Do not use the camera in hot water.

-Do not leave the camera on the sand. Sand may enter the speaker or the microphone, and the camera may get hot if it is exposed to direct sunlight for a prolonged time.

-The waterproof performance may deteriorate if the camera is struck, dropped, subjected to strong pressure or to strong vibration.

-The accessories that came with the camera are not waterproof.

??After using the camera

1.Make sure that any water and dirt on the camera are removed with a dry cloth after using the camera under water.

2.Ensure the battery chamber cover and the USB cover are closed, and then wash the

camera with ???owing water, making sure to remove all sand, foreign matter, and dirt. You can also submerge the camera in clean water for 2 to 3 minutes before washing it. See page 19 for details.

-Do not wipe the camera with other liquids such as soapy water, neutral detergents, or alcohol.

Waterproof management

4.Open the battery compartment and the USB compartment and look for water drops on the inside of the covers . If there are water drops on either, use cotton swab to remove the drops before storing the camera.

Since your camera may fail if you use the camera when foreign matter is on the camera lens, wash the camera using the following procedure:

1.Make sure that the battery chamber cover and the USB cover make a clicking sound when closing them, so that they are ???rmly shut.

2.Fill a bucket or a large bowl with

water and submerge the camera in the water with the camera lens facing downwards, then shake the camera.

3. If the foreign matter is not removed in the above procedure, wash the camera directly under a strong ???ow of water.

??Storage and maintenance

-Do not store the camera in an environment with high or low temperature. The waterproof function may be damaged.

-Do not use any chemicals to clean, to prevent rust, or to repair the camera. The waterproof function may be damaged.

-Replace waterproof components once a year to maintain waterproof performance, since they are consumable parts. Contact your nearest Samsung service center for the replacement of waterproof components.

Important notes

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 on the memory card. If this happens, turn off the

camera and remove the memory card. Wait until the moisture has evaporated.

Caution on Using the Lens

-If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in the discoloration and deterioration of the image sensor.

-Take care 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 battery and the memory card if you do not intend to use the camera for an extended period of time.

If the camera is exposed to electronic interference, it will turn itself off to protect the memory card.

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 screen. 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.

Before an important event or going on a trip, you should check the camera condition.

-Take a picture to test the camera???s condition and prepare an extra battery.

-Samsung cannot be held responsible for camera malfunctions.

If the digital camera is not used for a long period, the date and time may return to the default settings because the battery has discharged. In this case, reset the date and time before the recording.
