Preparation  
Connecting to a Power source  
There are two ways in which to provide the camera with power. You can use batteries(AA Alkaline, Ni-  
MH, CR-V3), or alternatively, you can use an AC(100V ~ 250V) Adapter (DC 3.3V 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.  
Battery condition indicator  
There are 3 indicators for battery condition that are displayed on the LCD monitor.  
: The batteries are fully charged.  
: Prepare new batteries.  
: There is no battery capacity. Replace with new batteries.

Preparation  
INFORMATION  
The date & time setting menu will be displayed on the LCD monitor in the following  
circumstances:  
Check the date & time. If the date & time are incorrect, change them before taking a picture.  
When the camera is used for the first time.  
Even if the batteries or AC adapter are removed, it is necessary to reset the time /date.  
This camera will automatically switch off when not in use for a period of time.  
Refer to [POWER OFF] function(p.78).  
NOTICE  
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.  
We recommend high capacity ALKALINE batteries as manganese batteries cannot deliver  
sufficient power.  
Low temperatures (below O°C) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may  
experience reduced battery life.  
Batteries will usually 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.

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 3.3V) on the  
camera.  
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 with the correct specification for the camera (3.3v  
2.0A). Failure to do so may affect your warranty.  
Using the Digimax battery pack (Optional : SBP-3603)  
The Digimax Battery Pack is a rechargeable external Li-ion  
battery for use with most digital cameras.  
These optional battery packs provide long lasting power and their operating performances are much  
improved over Ni-MH and Alkaline batteries. This is due to the mass storage lithium ion cell.  
Contact your local dealer or the nearest authorized Samsung camera service center to buy the optional  
battery packs.

Preparation  
Inserting the memory card  
The camera comes with 8MB of internal flash memory, allowing you to store images and movie clips in  
the camera. However, you can expand the memory capacity by using an optional memory card so that  
you can store more images and movie clips.  
1. Turn off the camera power and pull the memory card cover in the  
direction of the arrow to open.  
2. Insert the memory card all the way into the memory card slot. The  
Label stuck to the memory card and the front side of the camera  
should face in the same direction. The memory card pins and the  
LCD monitor should face in the same direction. The memory card  
will then be fitted.  
3. To close, push the memory card cover against the arrow until you  
hear a click.  
Once the CARD is inserted, the memory card indicator will  
appear on the LCD monitor.  
If the CARD does not fit, check that it is inserted correctly.

Maintenance of the memory card  
Turn off the camera power whenever the CARD is being inserted or removed.  
Repeated use of the CARD will eventually reduce the memory card s performance. Should this  
be the case, you will need to purchase a new CARD. Wear and tear on the CARD is not covered  
by the Samsung Warranty.  
The CARD is an electronic precision device. Do not bend, drop or subject the memory card to  
any heavy impact.  
Do not store the 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 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 CARD in its case when not in use.  
During and after periods of extended use, you may notice that the CARD is warm.  
This is perfectly normal.

Camera shake warning.  
When the Flash Off or Slow synchro mode is selected, 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 shot  
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 exposure compensation (p.52).  
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 the shot.  
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.  
To avoid images being unclear, keep within the focus range.

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 which are highly flammable materials.  
Pesticides, etc.  
Sand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.  
Sand or other small particles 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 the CARD. If this happens, turn  
off the camera and remove the CARD. Wait until the moisture has dispersed.  
89  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Important notes  
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 CARD, the camera is not used for some time.  
If the camera is exposed to electronic interference, it will turn itself off to protect the 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 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. 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 re-connect the USB cable before trying the transfer again.
