Camera maintenance
Other cautions
•
Do not swing your camera by the strap. This may cause injury
to yourself or others.
•
Do not paint your camera, as paint can clog moving parts and
prevent proper operation.
•
Turn off the camera while not in use.
•
Your camera consists of delicate parts. Avoid impacts to the
camera.
•
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 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.
•
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.
•
Protect your lens from fingerprints and scratches. Clean your
lens with a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth.
•
The camera may turn off if struck or dropped. This is to protect
the memory card. Turn on the camera to use it again.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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 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.
