About the icons

DANGER

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will

result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided,

may result in a minor or moderate injury.

Danger

Do not attempt to modify this camera in any way. This may result in fire, injury, electric 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.

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

could increase the risk of explosion.

Should any form of liquid or a foreign object 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 dealer or Samsung Camera Service Center. Do not continue to use the camera

as this may cause a fire or electric shock.

Do not insert or drop metallic or inflammable foreign objects into the camera through access

points e.g. the memory card slot and battery chamber. This may cause a fire or electric

shock.

Do not operate this camera with wet hands. This could pose a risk of electric shock.

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

your subject’s eyes, may cause eyesight damage.

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

This may result in permanent damage to your eyesight.

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. If an accident should occur, please

consult a doctor immediately.

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

Batteries and camera may become hot during prolonged use and it may result in camera

malfunction. Should this be the case, allow the camera to sit idle for a few minutes to allow it

time to cool.

Do not recharge non rechargeable batteries. This may cause an explosion.

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 up

and distort the camera body or cause a fire. Always use the camera and its accessories in a

well-ventilated area.

Warning

Caution

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

Use batteries with the correct specification for the camera.

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

Do not insert the batteries with the reverse polarities.

Remove the batteries when not planning to use the camera for a long period of time.

Batteries may leak corrosive electrolyte and irreparably damage the camera's components.

Do not fire the flash while it is in contact with hands or objects. Do not touch the flash after

using it continuously. It may cause burns.

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 wall socket.

Then make sure that any connector cords or cables to other devices are disconnected before

moving the camera. Failure to do so may damage the cords or cables and cause a fire or

electric shock.

A non-rechargeable (disposable) battery can be used but has a short lifespan because of its

relatively low battery capacity. We recommend the rechargeable battery which has a bigger

capacity and longer lifespan than the non rechargeable type. (Rechargeable batteries may

not be available everywhere).
