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(Samsung SNB-2312 recommended) Ni-Cd(over 1000mAh) CR-V3 type - Samsung SBP-1303(Lithium Ion battery)

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.

Things to Watch Out for When Taking Pictures
Pressing the shutter button down half way. Lightly press the shutter button to confirm focus and flash battery charge. Press the shutter button all way down to take the picture.
[ Lightly press the shutter button ]
[ Press the shutter button ]
The available recording time may vary depending on shooting conditions and camera settings. When the Flash Off or Slow synchro mode is selected in a low lighting condition, the camera shake warning indicator ( ) may appear on the LCD monitor. In this case, use a tripod, support the camera on a solid surface or change the flash mode to flash shot mode. Compensated shooting against the light : Please do not take pictures to the sunlight direction. Taking a picture against the sun may make the picture dark. To take a picture against the sun, please use the [Backlight] in the scene shooting mode (see page 59), fill-in flash (see page 35), spot metering(see page 49), or exposure compensation (see page 41). Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image. Compose the image by using the LCD monitor. Using the LCD monitor extensively will drain the batteries. Under certain conditions the auto focus system may not perform as expected. - When photographing a subject that has little contrast. - If the subject is highly reflective or shiny. - If the subject is moving at high speed. - When there is strong reflected light, or when the background is very bright. - When the subject matter has only horizontal lines or the subject is very narrow (such as a stick or flagpole). - When the surroundings are dark.

If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to take brighter pictures. Multi ( ) : Exposure will be calculated based on an average of the available light in the image area. However, the calculation will be biased towards the centre of the image area. This is suitable for general use.

Spot (

: Only the rectangular area in the centre of the LCD monitor will be metered for light. This is suitable when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly, regardless of the back lighting.
The default metering mode is Multi pattern metering. If the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the spot metering as this may result in an exposure error. In this circumstance, It is better to use exposure compensation.

Continuous shot

You can select continuous shot, AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing) and AFB (Auto Focus Bracketing). If you select CONTINUOUS, AEB or AFB, the flash will automatically be set to Flash Off. [Single]: Take one picture only

Shooting

[Continuous]: Images will be taken continuously until the shutter button is released. The shooting capacity depends on the memory.

Single

Continuous AEB AFB
[AEB]: You can select the exposure bracket range ( 0.3EV step, 6 steps) by rotating the jog dial. Three pictures are taken in a series in different exposure value. Use this menu if it is hard to decide exposure of the object.
Shooting Single Continuous
[AFB]: You can select the focus bracket range( 1 step, 3 steps) by rotating the jog dial. Three pictures are taken in a series in different focus range. Use this menu if it is hard to decide distance of the object.
Shooting Single Continuous AEB
If 1 picture is available in the memory, the continuous shot is not available. If less than 2 pictures are available in the memory, the AEB, AFB shooting are not available. It is best to use a tripod support for the AEB shooting for saving time is long and hand shaking may occur. Selecting the TIFF file format, you cant select the Continuous, AEB, AFB shooting mode. When you select the Continuous shooting mode, the self-timer function will not activate.

Sharpness

You can adjust the sharpness of the picture you want to take. You cannot check the sharpness effect on the LCD monitor before you take a picture, because this function is applied only when the captured image is stored on the memory.
