[Lightly press the shutter button]

[Press the shutter button]

- The available memory capacity may vary depending on shooting conditions and camera settings.

- When the Flash Off, Slow synchro mode or DIS 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 to flash shot mode.

- Shooting against the light : Please do not take pictures against the sun. Doing so may make the picture dark. Doing so may make the picture dark. To take a picture against the light, please use the [Backlight] in scene shooting mode (see page 22), fill-in flash (see page 30), spot metering (see page 39) or exposure compensation (see page 34).

• Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.

• Compose the image by using the LCD monitor.

• 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.

Using the camera buttons to set the camera

The recording mode function can be set up by using the camera buttons.

POWER button

Used for turning the camera's power on / off. If there is no operation during the specified time, the camera's power will be turned off automatically to save battery life.

Refer to page 50 for more information about the auto power off function.

SHUTTER button

Used for taking an image or recording voice in the RECORDING mode.

- In MOVIE CLIP mode Pressing the shutter button down fully starts the process for recording a movie clip. Press the shutter button once and the movie clip is recorded for as long as the available recording time in the memory allows. If you wish to stop record button again.

- In STILL IMAGE mode Pressing the shutter button down halfway activates the autofocus and checks the condition of the flash. Pressing the shutter button down fully takes and stores the image. If you select voice memo recording, the recording will start after the camera has finished storing the image data.

ZOOM button

If the menu is not displayed, this button works as the OPTICAL ZOOM or DIGITAL ZOOM button.

This camera has a 3X optical zoom and a 3X digital zoom function. Using both will offer a total zoom ratio of 9X.

■ TELE Zoom

Optical zoom TELE : Pressing the ZOOM T button. This will zoom into the subject i.e. the subject will appear nearer. Digital zoom TELE : When the maximum (3X) optical zoom is selected, pressing the ZOOM T button activates the digital zoom software. Releasing ZOOM T button stops the digital zooming at the required setting. Once the maximum digital zoom (3X) is achieved, pressing the ZOOM T button will have no effect.

Functions (

ISO

You can select the ISO sensitivity when taking pictures. The speed or specific light-sensitivity of a camera is rated by ISO numbers.

[Auto]: The camera's sensitivity is automatically changed by variables such as lighting value or subject brightness.

[ISO 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600] : You can increase the shutter speed while the same amount of light is present, by increasing the ISO sensitivity. However, the image may be saturated in high luminance. The higher the ISO value, the higher the camera's sensitivity to light and therefore the greater its capacity to take pictures in dark conditions. However, the noise level in the image will increase as the ISO value increases, making the image appear coarse.

※ When [Motion Capture] is set, ISO speed will be set to Auto. ※ [ISO] is enabled only in [Program] or [Photo Help Guide] mode.

Face Detection

If you use face detection options, your camera can detect a human face. When focusing on a human face, the brightness of the face is also adjusted. You can also capture natural facial expressions by using self portrait.

[Off] : Face detection is not active.

[Normal] : This mode detects the face position of the subject automatically and then sets the focus and exposure. Select this mode for quick and easy face picture.

[Self-Portrait] : When taking pictures of yourself, the area of your face is automatically detected so that you can take self pictures more easily and quickly.

[MOVIE CLIP mode]

• This file format complies with the DCF (Design rule for Camera File system).
• JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) : JPEG is the image compression standard developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. This type of compression is most commonly used for compressing photos and graphics because it can compress the files efficiently.

Metering

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.

[Center Weighted]【3】 : 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 taking a picture of small object like a flower or insects.

※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.

Functions

Drive mode

You can select continuous shot, and AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing).

[Single] (☐)

[Continuous]

: Images will be taken continuously until the shutter button is released.

: This takes 5 shots per second, when the shut-

ter is pressed and held down. After completing the continuous shooting, images are saved and the images play back on the Rear LCD. The maximum number of shots is 30 and the image size is fixed as VGA.

[AEB]

Take three pictures in a series in different exposures: standard exposure (0.0EV), short exposure (-1/2EV) and over exposure (+1/2EV).

• High resolution and picture quality increases file saving time, which increases stand-by time.
• If the [Continuous], [Motion Capture], [AEB] sub menu is selected, the flash will be off automatically.
• If less than 3 pictures are available in the memory, the AEB shooting is not available.
• If less than 30 pictures are available in the memory, the motion capture is not available.
• It is best to use a tripod for the AEB shooting as the time to save each image file is longer and blurring caused by camera shake may occur.

Important notes

- Extremes in temperature may cause problems.

- If the camera is transferred from a cold to a warm and humid environment, condensation can form on the delicate electronic circuitry. If this occurs, turn the camera off and wait for at least 1 hour until all moisture is dispersed. Moisture built up can also occur on the memory card. If this happens, turn off the camera and remove the memory card. Wait until the moisture has dispersed.

- Caution on Using the Lens

• If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in the discoloration and deterioration of the image sensor.
• Take care not to get fingerprints or foreign substances on the surface of the lens.

Rough handling can damage the LCD monitor. Take care to avoid damage and keep the camera in its protective carry case at all times when not in use.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the camera.
• Under certain conditions, static electricity can cause the flash unit to fire. This is not harmful to the camera and is not a malfunction.
• When images are uploaded or downloaded, the data transfer may be affected by static electricity. In this case, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable before trying the transfer again.
• Before an important event or going on a trip, you should check the camera condition.

- Take a picture for testing the camera condition and prepare extra battery.

- Samsung cannot be held responsible for camera malfunctions.

- If the digital camera is not used for a long period, the date and time may adopt the default settings by automatic battery discharged. In this case, reset the date and time correctly before the recording.
