

Please remove the battery 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

battery 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.



When you use earphones, do not remove the battery while the

camera is turning on. It may generate a loud noise.

014

Connecting to a power source

You can charge the rechargeable battery (SLB-1137D) by using the

SAC-46 KIT which consists of the AC adapter (SAC-46) and the USB

cable (SUC-C2).

When the SAC-46 and SUC-C2 are combined, they can be used as an

AC cable.



Using an AC cable:

Connect the AC adapter to the

USB cable.

It can be used as a power cable.



Using a USB cable:

Remove the AC adapter (SAC-46).

You can download stored images to

your PC (p.118) or supply the power

to your camera through the USB

cable.

Important information about USB cable usage.



Use a USB cable (SUC-C2) with the correct speciﬁ cation.



If the camera is connected to the PC through a USB hub :

connect the camera directly to the PC.



If the camera and other devices are connected to the PC at

the same time : remove other device.



If the USB cable is connected to a port located on the front

of the PC : remove the cable and connect it to a port located

on the back of the PC.



If the USB port of the PC doesn’t meet the Power output

standard (5V, 500mA), the camera may not be charged.

camera.



If the charging LED of the AC Charger does not turn on or blink

after inserting the rechargeable battery, please check whether

the battery is inserted correctly.



If you charge the battery with the camera power on, the battery

can’t charge fully. Turn the camera off while charging the

battery.

– If you insert the fully discharged battery to charge it, do not turn on the

camera at the same time. This is because of the low battery capacity.

Charge the battery for more than 10 minutes before using the camera.

– Do not use the ﬂ ash frequently or take a movie clip with the fully

discharged battery charged for a short time. Even if the charger is inserted,

the camera power may be turned off because the rechargeable battery is

discharged again.

016

Insert the battery as shown.

– If the camera does not turn on

after you have inserted battery,

please check whether the battery

is inserted with the correct

polarity (+/-).

– When the battery chamber

cover is opened, do not force it.

This may cause damage to the

battery chamber cover.

Connecting to a power source

Inserting the memory card

Insert the memory card as shown.

- Turn off the camera’s power

before inserting the memory

card.

- Have the front of the memory

card facing toward the back of

the camera (LCD monitor) and

the card pins toward the front of

the camera (Lens).

- Do not insert the memory card

the wrong way round.

Doing so may damage the memory card slot.

017

Instructions on how to use the memory card



Be sure to format the memory card (see p.61) if you are using a newly

purchased memory for the ﬁ rst 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 ﬁ elds, 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 the memory card using this

camera.



Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory

card reader.



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.

ﬂ oppy disks, hard disks, CD etc.



If there is insufﬁ cient memory available :

A [Memory 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 card.



Don’t remove the memory card when the camera status lamp

is blinking as this may cause damage to data in the memory

card.

018

Instructions on how to use the memory card

The camera can use SD/ SDHC Memory Cards and MMC (Multi Media

Cards).

The SD/ SDHC memory card has a write protect switch that prevents image

ﬁ les from being deleted or formatted. By sliding the switch to the bottom of the

SD memory card, the data will be protected. By sliding the switch to the top of

the SD memory card, the data protection will be cancelled.

Slide the switch to the top of the SD memory card before taking a picture.

When using a 256MB MMC memory, the speciﬁ ed shooting capacity

will be as follows. These ﬁ gures are approximate as image capacities

can be affected by variables such as subject matter and memory card

type.
