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 optimize the amount of memory in the camera, replace the memory card or delete unnecessary images stored on the memory.
If you open the memory card cover when the camera power is turned on, the power will turn off automatically. Don't remove the memory card when the camera status lamp(Green) is blinking as this may cause damage to data in the memory card.

In this case, use a tripod, support the camera on a solid surface or change the flash mode to flash shot mode. Backlight compensated shots : When taking an outdoor shot, avoid facing the sun, as the image may be dark because of the strong backlight. In backlight conditions, please use Fill-in flash(p.28), Spot metering(p.37) or Exposure compensation(p.30). 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 focus system may not perform as expected. - In Macro focus mode, if the distance from a subject is closer than 0.19m or farther than 0.21m.

Connecting to a Power Source
There are two ways in which to provide the camera with power. You can use batteries or alternatively, you can use an AC(100 ~ 250V) Adapter (DC 3.3V 2.0A). We recommend using batteries for a digital camera.(Within a year from the date of manufacture) The batteries are listed below. Non rechargeable batteries : AA type Alkaline, Ni-Mn, Ni-Zn, Lithium CR-V3 type Lithium Rechargeable batteries : AA type Ni-MH, Ni-Cd (over 1000mA) CR-V3 type Digimax Battery I-Pack(SBP-1103) Battery pack Digimax Battery Pack(SBP-3603)

INFORMATION

Important information about battery usage It is easy to buy alkaline batteries. However, the duration for using batteries varies in accordance with the battery manufacturer or the photographic conditions. When the camera is not used, turn off the camera power. Do not recharge the non rechargeable batteries. It may cause an explosion. Please remove the batteries 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. We recommend high capacity ALKALINE batteries as manganese batteries cannot deliver sufficient power. Low temperatures (below 0 ) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may experience reduced battery life. Batteries will usually recover at normal temperatures. Do not use old and new batteries at the same time. During extended use of the camera, the camera body may become warm. This is perfectly normal.
