Connecting to a Power Source
INFORMATION
Important information about battery usage
A non-rechargeable (disposable) battery can be used, but has a short lifespan because
of its relatively low battery capacity. We recommend the rechargeable battery, which
has a bigger capacity and longer lifespan than the non-rechargeable type.
(Rechargeable batteries may not be available everywhere).
Do not recharge the non rechargeable batteries. This may cause an explosion.
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 0 ) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may
experience reduced battery life.
Batteries will usually recover at normal temperatures.
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 (3.3V 2.0A).
Using the AC power adapter (3.3V 2.0A)
If you have access to a mains supply, using an AC
Adapter (3.3V 2.0A) allows the camera to be used for
long periods of time.
Plug the adapter into the connection point (DC IN
3.3V) on the camera.
Remove the batteries from the camera when using an
AC adapter.
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 (3.3V 2.0A) with the correct specification for
the camera. Failure to do so may affect your warranty.
14

Precautions on Using the Memory Stick Duo
Maintenance of the Memory Stick Duo
(Hereafter the Memory Stick Duo is referred to as the "Memory Card".)
Be sure to format the memory card (see p. 66) if you are using a newly
purchased memory for the first 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 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 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 has been used in another digital camera or memory card reader.
Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory card reader.
Preserving the memory card data
Do not remove the memory card while the camera status lamp (green) is blinking.
Doing so will corrupt the data on the memory card.
Samsung cannot be held responsible for lost data.
It is advisable to copy important data onto other media as back-up e.g. floppy disks, hard disks,
CD etc.
If there are no shots remaining
When you press the shutter button, a [CARD FULL !] message is displayed and the camera will
not operate. To optimize the amount of memory in the camera, replace the memory card or
delete unnecessary images stored in the memory.
17
Inserting the memory card
1. Turn off the camera’s power and pull the memory card
cover in the direction of the arrow to open.
2. Have the front of the memory card facing toward the front
of the camera (lens) and the card pins toward the back of
the camera (LCD monitor), and then push the memory
card into the card slot until you hear a click.
3. To close, push the card cover until you hear a click. If the
memory card does not slide in smoothly, do not attempt to
insert it by force. Check the direction of insertion, and then
insert it correctly.
INFORMATION

Things to watch out for when taking pictures
INFORMATION
If the camera is in focus, when you press the SHUTTER button halfway, the camera
status lamp (green) will light up and the LCD monitor's autofocus mark will turn green.
If the camera is out of focus, when you press the SHUTTER button halfway, the camera
status lamp (green) will blink and the LCD monitor's autofocus mark will turn red.
Should this be the case, the camera is unable to capture an image clearly.
If the camera status lamp (orange) lights up when you press the SHUTTER button
halfway, the camera is in focus and you can use the flash also.
The camera status lamp (red) blinks while the flash is charging.
The camera status lamp (green) blinks while saving a picture to the memory card and
turns off when saving is finished.
When the Flash Off or Slow synchro mode is selected in a low lighting condition, 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 shots : 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 Fill-in flash(p.29), Spot metering(p.40) or Exposure compensation(p.31).
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 these shots.
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.
Under certain conditions the auto focus system may not perform as expected.
- When photographing a subject that has little contrast.
- If the subject is highly reflective or shiny.
- If the subject is moving at high speed.
- When there is strong reflected light, or when the background is very bright.
- When the subject matter has only horizontal lines or the subject is very narrow
(such as a stick or flagpole).
- When the surroundings are dark
- If the subject is the same colour as the background
