If you press the shutter button after selecting the Auto, Fill-in, Slow sychro flash, the first flash fires to check the shooting condition (Flash range and Power ratio of flash). Do not move until the second flash fires. Using the flash frequently will reduce the life of the battery. Under normal operating conditions the charging time for the flash is normally within 5 seconds. If the battery is weak, the charging time will be longer. During the continuous shot, AEB and movie clip mode, the flash function will not operate. Take photographs within the flash range. The image quality is not guaranteed if the subject is too close or highly reflective.

Description If the subject or background is dark, the camera flash will operate automatically.

Flash mode Auto flash

Auto & Red eye reduction
If a subject or background is dark, the camera flash will work automatically and will reduce the red-eye effect by using the redeye reduction function. The flash fires regardless of available light. The intensity of the flash will be controlled, according to the prevailing conditions. The brighter the background or subject is, the less intense the flash will be. The flash will operate in conjunction with a slow shutter speed in order to obtain the correct exposure. When you take an image in a condition with poor light, the camera shake warning indicator ( ) will display on the LCD monitor. We recommend using a tripod for this function. The flash does not fire. Select this mode when capturing images in a place or situation where flash photography is prohibited. When you capture an image in a poorly lit condition, the camera shake warning indicator ( ) will display on the LCD monitor. We recommend using a tripod for this function.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) : JPEG is the image compression standard developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. This type of compression is most commonly used for compressing photos and graphics because it can compress the files efficiently without damaging the data.

Metering

If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to take brighter pictures.

Sand can be particularly troublesome to cameras. - Do not let sand get inside the unit when using it on beaches, coastal dunes, or other areas where there is lots of sand. - Doing so may result in failure or may permanently render the unit unusable. Handling the camera - Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations. - Prevent the large size LCD monitor from an impact. When this camera is not used, keep this camera in the camera case. - Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image. - This camera is not waterproof. To avoid dangerous electrical shocks, never hold or operate the camera with wet hands. - If you use this camera in wet places, such as beach or pool, do not let water or sand get inside the camera. Doing so may result in failure or may permanently damage the unit. Extremes in temperature may cause problems. - If the camera is transferred from a cold to a warm and humid environment, condensation can form on the delicate electronic circuitry. If this occurs, turn the camera off and wait for at least 1 hour until all moisture is dispersed. Moisture build up can also occur in the memory card. If this happens, turn off the camera and remove the memory card. Wait until the moisture has dispersed.
Caution on Using the Lens - If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in discoloration and deterioration of the image sensor. - Pay attention not to get fingerprints or foreign substances on the surface of the lens. If the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric discharge can occur. It is a good idea to remove the battery and the memory card if you do not intend using the camera for an extended period of time. If the camera is exposed to an electronic interference, it will turn itself off to protect the memory card. Camera Maintenance - Use a soft brush (available from photo stores) to gently clean the lens and LCD assemblies. If this does not work, lens-cleaning paper with lens cleaning fluid can be used. Clean the camera body with a soft cloth. Do not allow this camera to come into contact with solvent materials such as benzol, insecticide, thinners etc. This may damage the body shell of the camera and also affect its performance. Rough handling can damage the LCD monitor. Take care to avoid damage and keep the camera in its protective carry case at all times when not in use. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the camera. Under certain conditions, static electricity can cause the flash unit to fire. This is not harmful to the camera and is not a malfunction. Before an important event or going on a trip, you should check the camera condition. - Take a picture for testing the camera condition and prepare extra battery. - Samsung cannot be held responsible for camera malfunctions.
