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 explosive

gases and liquids

Do not use your camera near fuels, combustibles, or ﬂammable

chemicals. Do not store or carry ﬂammable liquids, gases, or

explosive materials in the same compartment as the camera or its

accessories.

Keep your camera away from small children and pets

Keep your camera and all accessories out of the reach of small

children and animals. Small parts may cause choking or serious

injury if swallowed. Moving parts and accessories may present

physical dangers as well.

Safety warnings

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. t

Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries

or damage to your camera.

Never dispose of batteries in a ﬁre. Follow all local regulations t

when disposing of used batteries.

Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating devices, t

such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may

explode when overheated.

Health and safety information

Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from

damage

Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very cold or very t

hot temperatures (below 0º C/32º F or above 40º C/104º F).

Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity of your

batteries and can cause memory cards to malfunction.

Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as t

this can create a connection between the + and – terminals

of your battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery

damage.

Prevent memory cards from making contact with liquids, dirt, or t

foreign substances. If dirty, wipe the memory card clean with a

soft cloth before inserting in your camera.

Turn off the camera when inserting or removing the memory t

card.

Do not bend, drop, or subject memory cards to heavy impact t

or pressure.

Do not use memory cards that have been formatted by other t

cameras or by a computer. Reformat the memory card with

your camera.

Never use a damaged charger, battery, or memory card.t

Do not expose the camera to direct sunlight or high t

temperatures for an extended period of time. Prolonged

exposure to sunlight or extreme temperatures can cause

permanent damage to your camera’s internal components.

Avoid using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty, humid, or t

poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage to moving parts and

internal components.

Remove the batteries from your camera when storing it for an t

extended period of time. Installed batteries may leak or corrode

over time and cause serious damage to your camera.

Protect your camera from sand and dirt when using it on t

beaches or in other similar areas.

Protect your camera from impact, rough handling, and t

excessive vibration to avoid serious damage.

Exercise caution when connecting cables or adapters and t

installing batteries and memory cards. Forcing the connectors,

improperly connecting cables, or improperly installing batteries

and memory cards can damage ports, connectors, and

accessories.

Do not insert foreign objects into any of your camera’s t

compartments, slots, or access points. Damage due to

improper use may not be covered by your warranty.

3

Exercise caution when using the camera in humid

environments

When transferring the camera from a cold environment to a warm

and humid one, condensation can form on the delicate electronic

circuitry and memory card. In this situation, wait for at least 1 hour

until all moisture has evaporated before using the camera.

Check that the camera is operating properly before use

The manufacturer takes no responsibility for any loss of ﬁles or

damage that may result from camera malfunction or improper

use.

Use only Samsung-approved accessories

Using incompatible accessories may damage your camera,

cause injury, or void your warranty.

Protect your camera’s lens

Do not expose the lens to direct sunlight, as this may discolour t

the image sensor or cause it to malfunction.

Protect your lens from ﬁngerprints and scratches. Clean your t

lens with a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth.

Allow only qualiﬁed personnel to service your camera

Do not allow unqualiﬁed personnel to service the camera or

attempt to service the camera yourself. Any damage that results

from unqualiﬁed service is not covered by your warranty.

Ensure maximum battery and charger life

Overcharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is t

ﬁnished, disconnect the cable from your camera.

Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be t

recharged before use.

Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.t

Use batteries only for their intended purpose.t
