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. 16 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.

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 58), fill-in flash (see page 36), spot metering(see page 51), or exposure compensation (see page 42). 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. 27 Using the camera buttons to adjust the camera The RECORDING (AUTO, PROGRAM, APERTURE PRIORITY, SHUTTER PRIORITY, MANUAL, MySET, MOVIE CLIP, SCENE) mode function can be set up by using the camera buttons.
