Camera maintenance
Protect your camera from sand and dirt when you use it on
beaches or in other similar areas.
Your camera is not waterproof. Do not handle the battery,
adapter, or memory card with wet hands. Operating the camera
with wet hands may cause damage to your camera.

Other cautions
Do not swing your camera by the strap. This may cause injury
to yourself or others.
Do not paint your camera, as paint can clog moving parts and
prevent proper operation.
Turn off the camera while not in use.
Your camera consists of delicate parts. Avoid impacts to the
camera.
Protect the display from external force by keeping it in the case
when not in use. Protect the camera from scratches by keeping
it away from sand, sharp implements, or loose change.
Do not use the camera if the screen is cracked or broken. Broken
glass or acrylic could cause injury to your hands and face. Take the
camera to a Samsung service center to have it repaired.
Never place cameras, batteries, chargers, or accessories near,
on, or in heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or
radiators. These devices may be deformed and can overheat
and cause a re or explosion.
Do not expose the lens to direct sunlight, as this may discolor
the image sensor or cause it to malfunction.
Protect your lens from fingerprints and scratches. Clean your
lens with a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth.
The camera may turn off if struck or dropped. This is to protect
the memory card. Turn on the camera to use it again.
While you use the camera, it may heat up. This is normal and
should not affect your cameras lifespan or performance.
When you use the camera in low temperatures, it may take
some time to turn on, the color of the display may be changed
temporarily, or after-images may appear. These conditions are
not malfunctions and they will correct themselves when the
camera is returned to milder temperatures.
Appendixes
You can prevent files from being deleted by using the writeprotect
switch on the SD or SDHC card. Slide the switch down to lock or
slide it up to unlock. Unlock the card when shooting.

Camera maintenance
Avoid using or storing memory cards near strong magnetic
fields.
Avoid using or keeping memory cards in areas with high
temperature, high humidity, or corrosive substances.
Prevent memory cards from making contact with liquids, dirt, or
foreign substances. If dirty, wipe the memory card clean with a
soft cloth before you insert the memory card in your camera.
Do not allow liquids, dirt, or foreign substances to come in
contact with memory cards or the memory card slot. Doing so
may cause memory cards or the camera to malfunction.
When you carry a memory card, use a case to protect the card
from electrostatic.
Transfer important data to other media, such as a hard disk,
CD, or DVD.
When you use the camera for an extended period, the memory
card may become warm. This is normal and does not indicate
a malfunction.

Glossary
ACB (Auto Contrast Balance)
A specification to define a file format and file system for digital cameras
created by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries
Association (JEITA).
Depth of field
The distance between the nearest and farthest points that can be
acceptably focused in a photograph. Depth of field varies with lens
aperture, focal length, and distance from the camera to the subject.
Selecting a smaller aperture, for example, will increase the depth of field
and blur the background of a composition.
AF (Auto Focus)
A system that automatically focuses the camera lens on the subject.
Your camera uses the contrast to focus automatically.
Digital zoom
The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the cameras
sensor.
Aperture
If the camera is moved while the shutter is open, the entire image may
appear blurred. This occurs more often when the shutter speed is slow.
Prevent camera shake by raising the sensitivity, using the flash, or using
a faster shutter speed. Alternately, use a tripod, the DIS function to
stabilize the camera.
Composition
All the combinations of the cameras shutter speed and lens aperture
that result in the same exposure.
Appendixes
EV (Exposure Value)
98
Glossary
EV Compensation
Image sensor
This feature allows you to quickly adjust the exposure value measured
by the camera, in limited increments, to improve the exposure of your
photos. Set the EV compensation to -1.0 EV to adjust the value one
step darker and 1.0 EV to one step brighter.
The physical part of a digital camera that contains a photosite for each
pixel in the image. Each photosite records the brightness of the light
that strikes it during an exposure. Common sensor types are CCD
(Charge-coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor).
Exposure
The amount of light allowed to reach the cameras sensor. Exposure is
controlled by a combination of the shutter speed, the aperture value,
and ISO sensitivity.
ISO sensitivity
The sensitivity of the camera to light, based on the equivalent film
speed used in a film camera. At higher ISO sensitivity settings, the
camera uses a higher shutter speed, which can reduce blur caused by
camera shake and low light. However, images with high sensitivity are
more susceptible to noise.
Focal length
Flash
The distance from the middle of the lens to its focal point (in
millimeters). Longer focal lengths result in narrower angles of view and
the subject is magnified. Shorter focal lengths result in wider angles of
view.
Macro
This feature allows you to capture close-up photos of very small
objects. When using the macro feature, the camera can maintain a
sharp focus on small objects at a near life-size ratio (1:1).
Appendixes
99
Glossary
Metering
Shutter speed
The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the
quantity of light to set the exposure.
Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close
the shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as
it controls the amount of light which pass through the aperture before it
reaches the image sensor. A fast shutter speed allows less time to let
light in and the photo becomes darker and more easily freezes subjects
in motion.
Noise
Misinterpreted pixels in a digital image that may appear as misplaced
or random, bright pixels. Noise usually occurs when photos are shot
with a high sensitivity or when a sensitivity is automatically set in a dark
place.
Vignetting
Optical zoom
This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and does
not deteriorate quality of images.
Quality
An expression of the rate of compression used in a digital image.
Higher quality images have a lower rate of compression, which usually
results in a larger file size.
Resolution
The number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution images
contain more pixels and typically show more detail than low resolution
images.
