Health and safety information
tꢀExercise caution when connecting cables or adapters and
installing batteries and memory cards. Forcing the connectors,
improperly connecting cables, or improperly installing batteries
and memory cards can damage ports, connectors, and
accessories.
Safety precautions
Handle and store your camera carefully and sensibly
tꢀDo not allow your camera to get wet—liquids can cause serious
damage. Do not handle your camera with wet hands. Water
damage to your camera can void your manufacturer’s warranty.
tꢀDo not insert foreign objects into any of your camera’s
compartments, slots, or access points. Damage due to
improper use may not be covered by your warranty.
tꢀDo not expose the camera to direct sunlight or high
temperatures for an extended period of time. Prolonged
exposure to sunlight or extreme temperatures can cause
permanent damage to your camera’s internal components.
tꢀDo not swing your camera by the strap. This may cause injury
to yourself or others.
tꢀDo not paint your camera, as paint can clog moving parts and
prevent proper operation.
tꢀAvoid using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty, humid, or
poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage to moving parts and
internal components.
tꢀPaint or metal on the outside of the camera may cause
allergies, itchy skin, eczema, or swelling for people with
sensitive skin. If you have experience any of these symptoms,
stop using the camera immediately and consult a doctor.
tꢀRemove the batteries from your camera when storing it for an
extended period of time. Installed batteries may leak or corrode
over time and cause serious damage to your camera.
tꢀProtect your camera from sand and dirt when using it on
beaches or in other similar areas.
tꢀProtect your camera from impact, rough handling, and
excessive vibration to avoid serious damage.

Health and safety information
Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from
damage
Use only Samsung-approved accessories
Using incompatible accessories may damage your camera,
cause injury, or void your warranty.
tꢀAvoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very cold or very
hot temperatures (below 0º C/32º F or above 40º C/104º F).
Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity of your
batteries and can cause memory cards to malfunction.
Protect your camera’s lens
tꢀDo not expose the lens to direct sunlight, as this may discolor
the image sensor or cause it to malfunction.
tꢀPrevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as
this can create a connection between the + and – terminals
of your battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery
damage. Also, this may cause a fire or electric shock.
tꢀProtect your lens from fingerprints and scratches. Clean your
lens with a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth.
tꢀPrevent memory cards from making contact with liquids, dirt, or
foreign substances. If dirty, wipe the memory card clean with a
soft cloth before inserting in your camera.
tꢀDo not allow liquids, dirt, or foreign substances to come in
contact with the memory card slot. Doing so may cause the
camera to malfunction.
tꢀTurn off the camera when inserting or removing the memory
card.
tꢀDo not bend, drop, or subject memory cards to heavy impact
or pressure.
tꢀDo not use memory cards that have been formatted by other
cameras or by a computer. Reformat the memory card with
your camera.
tꢀNever use a damaged charger, battery, or memory card.

Health and safety information
Important usage information
Check that the camera is operating properly before use
The manufacturer takes no responsibility for any loss of files or
damage that may result from camera malfunction or improper
use.
Allow only qualified personnel to service your camera
Do not allow unqualified personnel to service the camera or
attempt to service the camera yourself. Any damage that results
from unqualified service is not covered by your warranty.
Ensure maximum battery and charger life
tꢀOvercharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is
finished, disconnect the cable from your camera.
tꢀOver time, unused batteries will discharge and must be
recharged before use.
tꢀDisconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.
tꢀUse batteries only for their intended purpose.
Exercise caution when using the camera in humid
environments
When transferring the camera from a cold environment to a warm

circuitry and memory card. In this situation, wait for at least 1 hour
until all moisture has evaporated before using the camera.

Using the Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, or Manual mode
Adjust aperture value or shutter speed to control the exposure of your photos. You can use these options in the Aperture Priority, Shutter
Priority, and Manual modes.
Aperture value
Shutter speed
The aperture is a hole through which light is admitted. You can
adjust the aperture value to control how much light reaches the
lens when you capture a photo. By decreasing the aperture value
(opening the aperture wider), more light will enter and objects that
are farther away will appear out of focus. This is good for close-
up or portrait shots to draw attention to the main subject.
Shutter speed controls how long the camera's shutter remains
open when you capture a photo. When you decrease the shutter
speed, more light enters your camera and the photo will appear
brighter. However, a slower shutter speed can also result in blurry
photos if either the subject or the camera is moving.
When you increase the shutter speed, the photo will appear
darker. However, a faster shutter speed will also reduce the
blurring if your subject or the camera is in motion.
Alternatively, as you increase the aperture value, objects from
near to far are in sharp focus. This is good for landscape shots to
show the entire scope of the scene.
