extended period. Installed batteries may leak or corrode over  
time and cause serious damage to your camera.  
Avoid exposing the camera to very cold or very hot  
temperatures.  
Avoid using your camera in areas with extremely high humidity,  
or where the humidity changes drastically.  
Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be  
recharged before use.  
Avoid exposing the camera to direct sunlight and storing it in  
hot, poorly-ventilated areas, such as in a car during summer  
time.  
The present date and time can be initialized when the camera  
is turned on after the camera and battery have been separated  
for over 40 hours.  
Protect your camera and the display from impact, rough  
handling, and excessive vibration to avoid serious damage.  
Avoid using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty, humid, or  
poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage to moving parts and  
internal components.  
Using the camera with caution in humid environments  
When you transfer the camera from a cold environment to a warm  
one, condensation can form on the lens or internal components  
of the camera. In this situation, turn off the camera and wait for at  
least 1 hour. If condensation forms on the memory card, remove  
the memory card from the camera and wait until all moisture has  
evaporated before reinserting it.  
Do not use your camera near fuels, combustibles, or flammable  
chemicals. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or  
explosive materials in the same compartment as the camera or  
its accessories.  
Do not store the camera where there are mothballs.  
Other cautions  
Using on beaches or shores  
Do not swing your camera by the strap. This may cause injury  
to yourself or others or damage to your camera.  
Protect your camera from sand and dirt when you use it on  
beaches or in other similar areas.  
Do not paint your camera, as paint can clog moving parts and  
prevent proper operation.  
Your camera is not waterproof. Do not handle the battery,  
adapter, or memory card with wet hands. Operating the camera  
with wet hands may cause damage to your camera.  
Turn off the camera when not using it.  
Appendixes 106  
 
 
Camera maintenance  
Your camera contains delicate parts. Avoid impacts to the  
camera.  
Paint or metal on the outside of the camera may cause  
allergies, itchy skin, eczema, or swelling for people with  
sensitive skin. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop  
using the camera immediately and consult a doctor.  
Protect the display from external force by keeping it in the case  
when not in use. Protect the camera from scratches by keeping  
it away from sand, sharp implements, or loose change.  
Do not insert foreign objects into any of your camera’s  
compartments, slots, or access points. Damage due to  
improper use may not be covered by your warranty.  
Do not use the camera if the screen is cracked or broken.  
Broken glass or acrylic could cause injury to your hands and  
face. Take the camera to a Samsung service center to have it  
repaired.  
Do not allow unqualified personnel to service the camera or  
attempt to service the camera yourself. Any damage that results  
from unqualified service is not covered by your warranty.  
Never place cameras, batteries, chargers, or accessories near,  
on, or in heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or  
radiators. These devices may be deformed and can overheat  
and cause a fire or explosion.  
Do not expose the lens to direct sunlight, as this may discolor  
the image sensor or cause it to malfunction.  
About memory cards  
Protect the lens from fingerprints and scratches. Clean the lens  
with a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth.  
Supported memory cards  
Your camera supports microSD (Secure Digital) or microSDHC  
(Secure Digital High Capacity) memory cards.  
The camera may turn off if struck or dropped. This is to protect  
the memory card. Turn on the camera to use it again.  
To read data with a PC or memory card reader,  
insert the memory card into a memory card  
adapter.  
While you use the camera, it may heat up. This is normal and  
should not affect your camera’s lifespan or performance.  
When you use the camera in low temperatures, it may take  
some time to turn on, the color of the display may be changed  
temporarily, or after-images may appear. These conditions are  
not malfunctions and they will correct themselves when the  
camera is returned to milder temperatures.

Camera maintenance  
Prevent memory cards from making contact with liquids, dirt, or  
foreign substances. If dirty, wipe the memory card clean with a  
soft cloth before you insert the memory card into your camera.  
Cautions when using memory cards  
Avoid exposing memory cards to very cold or very hot  
temperatures (below 0 °C/32 °F or above 40 °C/104 °F).  
Extreme temperatures can cause memory cards to malfunction.  
Do not allow liquids, dirt, or foreign substances to come in  
contact with memory cards or the memory card slot. Doing so  
may cause memory cards or the camera to malfunction.  
Insert a memory card in the correct direction. Inserting a  
memory card in the wrong direction may damage your camera  
and memory card.  
When you carry a memory card, use a case to protect the card  
from electrostatic discharges.  
Do not use memory cards that have been formatted by other  
cameras or by a computer. Reformat the memory card with  
your camera.  
Transfer important data to other media, such as a hard disk,  
CD, or DVD.  
When you use the camera for an extended period, the memory  
card may become warm. This is normal and does not indicate  
a malfunction.  
Turn off the camera before you insert or remove the memory  
card.  
Do not remove the memory card or turn off your camera while  
the lamp is blinking, as this may damage your data.  
The manufacturer is not responsible for any loss of data.  
When the lifespan of a memory card has expired, you cannot  
store any more photos on the card. Use a new memory card.  
Do not bend, drop, or subject memory cards to heavy impact  
or pressure.  
Avoid using or storing memory cards near strong magnetic  
fields.  
Avoid using or keeping memory cards in areas with high  
temperature, high humidity, or corrosive substances.

ACB (Auto Contrast Balance)  
Composition  
This feature automatically improves the contrast of your images  
when the subject is backlit or when there is a high contrast  
between your subject and the background.  
Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo.  
Usually, abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition.  
DIS (Digital Image Stabilization)  
AEB (Auto Exposure Bracket)  
This feature compensates in real-time for shaking and vibrating  
while shooting. There can be a certain amount of image  
degradation compare to Optical Image Stabilization.  
This feature automatically captures several images at different  
exposures to help you capture a properly-exposed image.  
AF (Auto Focus)  
DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)  
A system that automatically focuses the camera lens on the  
subject. Your camera uses the contrast to focus automatically.  
A specification to define a file format and file system for digital  
cameras created by the Japan Electronics and Information  
Technology Industries Association (JEITA).  
Aperture  
Depth of field  
The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the  
camera’s sensor.  
The distance between the nearest and farthest points that can  
be acceptably focused in a photograph. Depth of field varies with  
lens aperture, focal length, and distance from the camera to the  
subject. Selecting a smaller aperture, for example, will increase  
the depth of field and blur the background of a composition.  
Camera shake (Blur)  
If the camera is moved while the shutter is open, the entire image  
may appear blurred. This occurs more often when the shutter  
speed is slow. Prevent camera shake by raising the sensitivity,  
using the flash, or using a faster shutter speed. Alternately, use a  
tripod, the OIS or DIS function to stabilize the camera.  
Digital zoom  
A feature that artificially increases the amount of zoom available  
with a zoom lens (Optical zoom). When using the Digital zoom,  
the image quality will deteriorate as the magnification increases.  
Appendixes 121  
 
 
Glossary  
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)  
Flash  
A format for writing printing information, such as selected images  
and number of prints, on a memory card. DPOF-compatible  
printers, sometimes available at photo shops, can read the  
information from the card for convenient printing.  
A speed light that helps to create adequate exposure in low-light  
conditions.  
Focal length  
The distance from the middle of the lens to its focal point (in  
millimeters). Longer focal lengths result in narrower angles of view  
and the subject is magnified. Shorter focal lengths result in wider  
angles of view.  
EV (Exposure Value)  
All the combinations of the camera’s shutter speed and lens  
aperture that result in the same exposure.  
EV Compensation  
Image sensor  
This feature allows you to quickly adjust the exposure value  
measured by the camera, in limited increments, to improve the  
exposure of your photos. Set the EV compensation to -1.0 EV to  
adjust the value one step darker and 1.0 EV to one step brighter.  
The physical part of a digital camera that contains a photosite for  
each pixel in the image. Each photosite records the brightness of  
the light that strikes it during an exposure. Common sensor types  
are CCD (Charge-coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary  
Metal Oxide Semiconductor).  
Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format)  
ISO sensitivity  
A specification to define an image file format for digital cameras  
created by the Japan Electronic Industries Development  
Association (JEIDA).  
The sensitivity of the camera to light, based on the equivalent film  
speed used in a film camera. At higher ISO sensitivity settings,  
the camera uses a higher shutter speed, which can reduce blur  
caused by camera shake and low light. However, images with  
high sensitivity are more susceptible to noise.  
Exposure  
The amount of light allowed to reach the camera’s sensor.  
Exposure is controlled by a combination of the shutter speed, the  
aperture value, and ISO sensitivity.  
Appendixes 122  
 
Glossary  
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)  
Noise  
A lossy method of compression for digital images. JPEG images  
are compressed to reduce their overall file size with minimal  
deterioration of the image resolution.  
Misinterpreted pixels in a digital image that may appear as  
misplaced or random, bright pixels. Noise usually occurs when  
photos are shot with a high sensitivity or when a sensitivity is  
automatically set in a dark place.  
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)  
Optical zoom  
A visual display commonly used in consumer electronics. This  
display needs a separate backlight, such as CCFL or LED, to  
reproduce colors.  
This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and  
does not deteriorate quality of images.  
Macro  
Quality  
This feature allows you to capture close-up photos of very small  
objects. When using the macro feature, the camera can maintain  
a sharp focus on small objects at a near life-size ratio (1:1).  
An expression of the rate of compression used in a digital image.  
Higher quality images have a lower rate of compression, which  
usually results in a larger file size.  
Metering  
Resolution  
The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the  
quantity of light to set the exposure.  
The number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution  
images contain more pixels and typically show more detail than  
low resolution images.  
MJPEG (Motion JPEG)  
A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image.  
Appendixes 123  
 
Glossary  
Shutter speed  
Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and  
close the shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of  
a photo, as it controls the amount of light which passes through  
the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. A fast shutter  
speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes  
darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion.  
Vignetting  
A reduction of an image’s brightness or saturation at the periphery  
(outer edges) compared to the center of the image. Vignetting  
can draw interest to subjects positioned in the center of an  
image.  
White balance (color balance)  
An adjustment of the intensities of colors (typically the primary  
colors red, green, and blue), in an image. The goal of adjusting  
the white balance, or color balance, is to correctly render the  
colors in an image.
