Connecting to a Power Source
There are two ways in which to provide the camera with power. You can use batteries or
alternatively, you can use an AC(100 ~ 250V) Adapter (DC 5.0V 2.0A).
We recommend using batteries for a digital camera (Within a year from the date of manufacture)
and rechargeable Ni-MH battery (over 1600mAh). The batteries are listed below.
Non rechargeable batteries :AA type
– Alkaline, Ni-Mn, Ni-Zn, Lithium
CR-V3 type – Lithium

Connecting to a Power Source
INFORMATION
Important information about battery usage
It is easy to buy alkaline batteries. However, the duration for using batteries varies in
accordance with the battery manufacturer or the photographic conditions.
When the camera is not used, turn off the camera power.
Do not recharge 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.
We recommend high capacity ALKALINE batteries as manganese batteries cannot
deliver sufficient power.
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.
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.
Using the AC power adapter (SAC-51, 5.0V)
If you have access to a mains supply, using an
AC Adapter (SAC-51, 5.0V) allows the camera
to be used for long periods of time.
Plug the adapter into the connection point
(DC IN 5.0V) 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 (SAC-51, 5.0V) with the correct specification
for the camera. Failure to do so may affect your warranty.

Instructions on how to use the memory card
Maintenance of the memory card
Be sure to format the memory card (see p. 82) 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 is 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
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.
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 is insufficient memory available : If you press the shutter button for the shot, a [CARD
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.

Press the shutter button all way down to take the picture.
[ Lightly press the shutter button ]
[ Press the shutter button ]
The available recording time may vary depending on shooting conditions and camera
settings.
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.
Compensated shooting against the light : Please do not take pictures to the sunlight direction.
Taking a picture against the sun may make the
picture dark. To take a picture against the sun,
please use the [BACKLIGHT] in the scene shooting
mode (see page 54), forced flash (see page 35),
spot side light (see page 51), or exposure
compensation (see page 40).
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.
