You can use batteries or alternatively, you can use an AC(100 ~ 250V) Adapter (DC 3.3V 2.0A). We recommend using batteries for a digital camera (use batteries that are within a year of their date of manufacture). The batteries are listed below. Non rechargeable batteries : Duracell CP-1 batteryRechargeable batteries : SLB-1137 INFORMATION Important information about battery usage When the camera is not used, turn off the camera power. Do not charge 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. If the camera is in PC mode, slide show, playing back a voice recording or playing back a movie clip, it is recommended that you use an AC adapter. 14 Connecting to a Power Source 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. 15 Connecting to a Power Source Using the batteries : If the camera does not turn on after you have inserted batteries, please check whether the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity(+/-). 1.

Instructions on how to use the memory card Maintenance of the memory card Be sure to format the memory card (see p.73) if you are using a newly purchased memory for the first time, if it contains data that the camera cannot recognise, 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. 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. 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 optimise the amount of memory in the camera, replace the memory card or delete unnecessary images stored on the memory. 17 Instructions on how to use the memory card INFORMATION Don't remove the memory card when the Auto focus lamp(Green) is blinking as this may cause damage to data in the memory card.
