Connecting to a Power Source
You can use batteries only to provide the camera with power. 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 CR-V3 type - Lithium Ion battery Rechargeable batteries : AA type - Ni-MH battery (Samsung SNB-2312 recommended) CR-V3 type - Lithium Ion battery (Samsung SBP-1303 recommended) 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 batteries (listed above) as manganese batteries cannot deliver sufficient power. Low temperatures (below 0C) 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.
Using the batteries : If the camera does not turn on after you have inserted batteries, please check whether the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity (+/ -). 1. Open the battery chamber cover by pushing in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert the batteries taking note of the polarity (+/ -).
[ Inserting the AA type battery ] [ Inserting the CR-V3 type battery ]
3. To close the battery chamber cover, push it until it clicks.

INFORMATION

When the battery chamber cover is opened, do not press the battery chamber cover by force. This may cause the battery chamber cover modification or breakage.
There are 3 indicators for battery condition that are displayed on the LCD monitor. Battery indicator Battery status The battery are fully charged Prepare new battery There is no battery capacity. Replace with new battery.
Instructions on how to use the memory card
Be sure to format the memory card (see p.82) if you are using a newly purchased memory for the first 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 cards 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 fields, 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. floppy disks, hard disks, CD etc. If there is insufficient memory available : A [CARD 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.

Don't remove the memory card when the camera status lamp is blinking as this may cause damage to data in the memory card.
The camera can use SD Memory Cards and MMC (Multi Media Cards). Please consult the enclosed manual for using the MMC Cards.
