Health and safety information
Always comply with the following precautions and usage tips to avoid dangerous situations and ensure peak
performance of your camera.
Warning—situations that could cause injury to
yourself or others
Caution—situations that could cause damage to
your camera or other equipment
Note—notes, usage tips, or additional
information
Do not use your camera near flammable or

flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the
same compartment as the camera or its accessories.
Keep your camera away from small children and

Prevent damage to subjects’ eyesight
Do not use the flash in close proximity (closer than
1 m/3 ft) to people or animals. Using the flash too
close to your subject’s eyes can cause temporary or
permanent damage.
Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers
with care
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and
chargers. Incompatible batteries and chargers can
cause serious injuries or damage to your camera.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local
regulations when disposing of used batteries.
Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating
devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or
radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.
Handle and store your camera carefully and
sensibly
Do not allow your camera to get wet—liquids can
cause serious damage. Do not handle your camera
with wet hands. Water damage to your camera can
void your manufacturer’s warranty.

if the graph is inclined to the left and if the graph is
leaning to the right, this represents a bright picture. The
height of graph is related to the color information and
the graph gets higher if a specific color is distributed
more.

in which objects closer and further away are all in focus.
This focused range is called the depth of field.
The wider the wide-angle lens, the higher the aperture
value, the greater the depth of field.
For example, the aperture stop, f 11 is higher than f 2.8.

By using the pause function, you can shoot only

To pause during the recording, press [].
To continue on recording, press [] again.•
H.264 (MPEG-4 part10/AVC) is the latest video
coding format established in 2003 collaboratively by
ISO-IEC and ITU-T. Since this format uses a high
compression rate, more data can be saved in less
memory space.
If you use a slow writing memory card, your movie's
recording can be interrupted because the card can
not process data at the rate the video is being shot.
If this occurs, replace the card with a faster memory
card or reduce the image size.
If you have the image stabilizer option on when
shooting a movie, the camera may record the image
stabilizer sound.
When the size of a movie file exceeds 4GB, the
camera automatically stops recording. If this occurs,
continue the movie by starting a new movie file.
When formatting a memory card, always format using
this camera. If you format on another camera or a
PC, you can cause a change in the capacity of the
card or make it incompatible with your camera.
If you remove the camera lens while recording a movie,
the recording will be interrupted. Do not change the lens
while recording.
While you shoot a movie, the camera can record
the sounds of the zoom mechanism working and
the sounds the camera makes when you press the
buttons.
If you change the shooting angle of the camera
suddenly while shooting a movie, the camera may not
be able to record images accurately. We recommend
using a tripod when shooting a movie. In this way, you
can minimize camera shake.
In the Movie Shooting mode, the camera supports only
the Multi AF function. You can not use any other focus
area setting functions, such as Face Detection AF.

What is color space?
The image In/Output devices such as digital
camera, monitor and printer hold different ranges of
reproducing each color.
The possible range of color reproduction is referred to
as color space. Several standards of color space are
fixed for each device. This camera support sRGB and
Adobe RGB. sRGB is diversely used in the devices
like computer. It is recommended to use sRGB for
regular images. sRGB standards for International
standard of color space established by the IEC
(International Electrotechnical Commission).
This is defined from color space for PC monitors and
is also used as the standard color space for Exif.
Adobe RGB is the color space recommended by
Adobe Systems, Inc. for commercial printing and
has wider range of color reproduction than sRGB.
Adobe RGB covers most of the color range so colors
only available when printed are not lost when editing
images from a computer. When image is opened by
non-compatible software, the colors look lighter.
