INFORMATION Important information about battery usage When the camera is not used, turn off the camera power. Do not use the non rechargeable batteries. It 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°C) 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. Using the SAC-41(for both Charger and AC adapter) If you have access to a mains supply, using an SAC-41 (for both Charger and AC adapter) allows the camera to be used for long periods of time.Plug the SAC-41 (for both Charger and AC adapter) into the connection point (DC IN 4.2V) on the camera. * Insert the rechargeable batteries when using an AC adapter. [Using the AC adapter with Cradle] 14 [Using the AC adapter with Camera] Connecting to a Power Source DANGER Always turn off the power before taking the SAC-41 (for both Charger and 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 the SAC-41 (for both Charger and AC adapter) or TTA standardized chargers with the correct specification for the camera. Failure to do so may affect your warranty. Do not use the flash frequently or take many pictures with the fully discharged rechargeable battery charged for a short time. Even if the charger is inserted, the camera power may be turned off because the rechargeable battery is discharged again. How to charge the rechargeable battery (SLB-1137) Charging with the cradle - Insert the rechargeable battery into the battery chamber. - Place the camera correctly in the cradle. - Put the SAC-41 (for both Charger and AC adapter) into your power socket and DC input connection point of the 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.

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 first the memory card by using this camera. Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory card reader. Preserving the memory card data If the memory card is subjected to any of the following, the recorded data may become corrupted : - When the memory card is used incorrectly. - If the power is switched off or the memory card is removed while recording, deleting (formatting) or reading.
