FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - ES25 SAMSUNG

Comment insérer les piles et la carte mémoire ?
Ouvrez le volet du compartiment situé sous l'appareil. Insérez deux piles AA en respectant les polarités (+, -). Pour la carte mémoire, insérez-la avec l'étiquette vers l'avant (objectif) et les contacts vers l'arrière (écran). Refermez le volet.
Pourquoi l'appareil ne s'allume-t-il pas ?
Vérifiez que les piles sont insérées correctement (polarités respectées) et qu'elles sont chargées. Si les piles sont faibles, remplacez-les. Assurez-vous que le couvercle du compartiment est bien fermé.
Comment prendre une photo avec le mode Smart Auto ?
Appuyez sur le bouton MENU, sélectionnez Mode > Smart Auto puis OK. Cadrez votre sujet à l'écran et appuyez à mi-course sur le déclencheur pour faire la mise au point, puis enfoncez-le complètement pour prendre la photo. L'appareil choisit automatiquement les réglages adaptés à la scène.
Comment utiliser le zoom optique ?
Utilisez la bascule ZOOM T (téléobjectif) pour rapprocher le sujet et ZOOM W (grand-angle) pour éloigner. L'appareil dispose d'un zoom optique 4x. Si vous zoomez au-delà, le zoom numérique (3x) s'active, mais la qualité d'image peut diminuer.
Que signifie l'indicateur 'Memory Full' ?
La carte mémoire ou la mémoire interne est pleine. Remplacez la carte par une autre ou supprimez des fichiers inutiles en mode lecture (appuyez sur le bouton Lecture, sélectionnez la photo à supprimer avec la touche Fn/Supprimer).
Comment transférer des photos sur un ordinateur Windows ?
Installez le logiciel Intelli-studio à partir du CD fourni. Connectez l'appareil à l'ordinateur via le câble USB. Allumez l'appareil. L'ordinateur reconnaît l'appareil comme un disque amovible. Copiez les fichiers depuis le dossier DCIM/100PHOTO vers votre PC.
Comment enregistrer une vidéo sans son ?
En mode vidéo, appuyez sur MENU, allez dans Prise de vue > Voix et réglez sur Off. L'icône apparaît. Enregistrez normalement : la vidéo sera silencieuse.
Comment utiliser le retardateur ?
En mode de prise de vue, appuyez plusieurs fois sur le bouton Retardateur / Droite jusqu'à voir l'icône souhaitée (10 s, 2 s, double ou détection de mouvement). Appuyez sur le déclencheur : la photo est prise après le délai.
Comment nettoyer l'objectif ?
Utilisez un chiffon doux et sec spécial optique ou une brosse soufflante pour enlever la poussière. N'utilisez pas de solvants ni de produits abrasifs. Évitez de toucher l'objectif avec les doigts.
Que faire en cas de message 'Card Error' ?
Éteignez l'appareil et réinsérez la carte. Si le problème persiste, formatez la carte dans l'appareil via le menu Réglages > Formater. Attention : le formatage efface toutes les données. Si la carte est verrouillée, glissez le curseur de protection sur la carte vers le haut.

Exposure compensation

This camera automatically adjusts the exposure according to the ambient lighting conditions.

You can also select the exposure value by using the [EV] menu.

■ Compensating Exposure

  1. Click the Up/Down button from the Shooting menu to select [EV] ( + - ).
  2. Use the Left and Right buttons to set the desired exposure compensation factor.
  3. Press the OK button. The value you set will be saved and the Exposure Compensation setup mode will be closed. If you change the exposure value, the exposure indicator ( ) will be displayed on the left of the LCD monitor.

※ A negative exposure compensation value reduces the exposure. Note that a positive exposure compensation value increases the exposure and the LCD monitor will appear white or you may not get good pictures.

EV Set exposure value to adjust brightness.

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.

ISO Adjust the sensitivity of the camera.

  • Environments where there is high magnetism or excessive vibration.
  • Areas with high explosives or highly flammable materials.

  • Do not leave this camera in places subject to dust, chemicals (like naphthalene and mothballs), high temperature and high humidity. Keep this camera with silica gel in a hermetically sealed box when not planning to use the camera for a long period of time.

  • Sand can be particularly troublesome to cameras.

- Do not let sand get inside the camera when using it on beaches, coastal dunes, or other areas where there is lots of sand.

- Doing so may result in failure or may permanently render the camera unusable.

- Handling the camera

  • Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
  • Protect the large size LCD monitor from an impact. When this camera is not used, keep it in the camera case.
  • Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.
  • This camera is not waterproof.

To avoid dangerous electrical shocks, never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.

- If you use this camera in wet places, such as beach or pool, do not let water or sand get inside the camera. Doing so may result in failure or may permanently damage the unit.

- 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.

- If the digital camera is not used for a long period, an electric discharge can occur. It is a good idea to remove the battery and the memory card if you do not intend using the camera for an extended period of time.

- If the camera is exposed to electronic interference, it will turn itself off to protect the memory card.

- Camera Maintenance

- Use a soft brush (available from photo stores) to gently clean the lens and LCD assemblies. If this does not work, lens cleaning paper with lens cleaning fluid can be used.

Clean the camera body with a soft cloth. Do not allow this camera to come into contact with solvent materials such as benzol, insecticide, thinners etc. This may damage the body shell of the camera and also affect its performance. 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 re-connect 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.

- 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.
