Precautions on Camcorder Care
Please note the following precautions for use:
Please keep your device in a safe place. This device contains a lens that can be damaged by shock. Keep away from the reach
of the children.
I Do not place your device in a wet place. Moisture and water may cause the device to malfunction.
I Do not aim the device at the sun while looking through the viewfinder; this may cause permanent damage to your eyes.
I To avoid electric shock, do not touch your device or power cable with wet hands.
I Do not use the flash close to another's eyes. The flash emits a strong light that may cause damage similar to direct sunlight on
one's eyesight.
I If the device is not working properly, please consult your nearest dealer or authorized Samsung service facility. Disassembling
the device yourself may cause irrecoverable damage which will be difficult to repair.
I Clean the body with a dry, soft cloth. Use a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution for removing stains. Do not use
any type of solvent, especially benzenes, as they may seriously damage the finish.
I Keep your device away from rain and saltwater. After using, clean the device. Saltwater may cause the parts to corrode.
I For better quality, please use CAMERA mode when taking still images. (CAMERA mode image quality is better than
CAMCORDER mode.)
