shock or severe damage to you or your camera. Internal inspection, maintenance and

repairs should be carried out by your dealer or Samsung Camera Service Center.

Do not use the flash in close proximity to the people or animals. Positioning the flash too

close to your subject’s eyes, may cause eyesight damage. Do not attempt to photograph

children using a flash closer than 1 meter proximity.

When taking photographs, never point the lens of the camera directly into very strong

light. This may result in permanent damage to the camera or your eyesight.

Please do not use this product in close proximity to flammable or explosive gases, as this

could increase the risk of explosion.

For safety reasons keep this product and accessories out of reach of children or animals

to prevent accidents e.g.:

Swallowing batteries or small camera accessories.

In case of accidents, please consult a doctor immediately.

There is a risk of permanent eye damage if the flash is operated at a distance of less

than one meter from a person’s eyes.

There is a possibility of injury from the camera’s moving parts.

Should any form of liquid enter the camera, do not use it. Switch off the camera, and then

disconnect the power source (batteries or AC Power Adapter). You must contact your

Do not leave this camera in places subject to extremely high temperatures, such as a

sealed vehicle, direct sunlight or other places of extreme variances in temperature.

Exposure to extreme temperatures may adversely affect the camera’s internal

components and could cause a fire.

When in use, do not cover the camera or AC Power Adapter. This may cause heat to build

Always use the camera and its accessories in a well-ventilated area.

Leakage, overheating, or burst batteries could result in fire or injury.

Do not short circuit, heat or dispose of batteries in fire.

circumstances may cause a fire. It is best to clean your camera prior to seasonal periods

of high humidity.

Consult your dealer or Samsung Camera Service Center for information on the cost of

cleaning your camera.

Do not move the camera while it is switched on, if you are using the AC Power Adapter.

After use, always switch off the camera before unplugging the adapter from the AC Power

wall socket. Then make sure that any connector cords or cables to other devices are
