Precautions on Using the Memory Stick Duo
This camera operates only with a Memory Stick Duo.
Some models of Memory Stick Duo media do not have the write-protect switch (B).
Do not insert the Memory Stick Duo on its own into a Memory Stick-compatible device.
Do not insert the Memory Stick Duo adapter into a Memory Stick-compatible device without
attaching the Memory Card Duo to the adapter. Using it without the Memory Stick Duo may
adversely affect the device into which it is inserted.
Be sure to check the proper direction of insertion before use .
Insert the Memory Stick Duo all the way into the Memory Stick Duo adapter.
If the Memory Stick Duo is not inserted correctly into the adapter, it may not operate properly.
Do not attach labels to any part of the Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick Duo adapter.
The labels may come off as you insert the Memory Stick Duo into the adapter or into a
Memory Stick-compatible device.
When inserting the Memory Stick Duo into the slot, do not force or bend it.
Do not touch the Memory Stick Duo adapter's card pins with your fingers or with metal
objects.
Do not allow dirt or foreign material to get into the Memory Stick Duo adapter slot.

erasure of data from deletion or formatting. By sliding the switch to the top of the memory
card, the data will be protected. By sliding the switch to the bottom of the memory card, the
data protection ability will be canceled. Please use a pointed object to move the write-protect
switch. Slide the switch to the bottom of the memory card before taking a picture.
17
Precautions on Using the Memory Stick Duo
Maintenance of the Memory Stick Duo
(Hereafter the Memory Stick Duo is referred to as the "Memory Card".)
The camera comes with 32MB of internal flash memory, allowing you to store images and
movie clips in the camera. However, you can expand the memory capacity by using an
optional memory card so that you can store more images and movie clips.
Be sure to format the memory card (see p. 58) if you are using a newly purchased memory
for the first time, if it contains data that the camera cannot recognize, or if it contains images
captured with a different camera.
Turn off the camera power whenever the memory card is being inserted or removed.
Repeated use of the memory card will eventually reduce the memory card's performance.
Should this be the case, you will need to purchase a new memory card.
Wear and tear on the memory card is not covered by the Samsung warranty.
The memory card is an electronic precision device. Do not bend, drop or subject the memory
card to any heavy impact.
Do not store the memory card in an environment with strong electronic or magnetic fields,
e.g. near loud speakers or TV receivers.
Please do not use or store in an environment where there are extremes in temperature.
Do not allow the memory card to become dirty or to come into contact with any liquid.
Should this happen, clean the memory card with a soft cloth.
Please keep the memory card in its case when not in use.
During and after periods of extended use, you may notice that the memory card is warm.
This is perfectly normal.
Do not use a memory card that has been used in another digital camera or memory card
reader.
Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory card reader.
18
Inserting the memory card
1. Turn off the camera power and pull the battery chamber
cover in the direction of the arrow to open.
2. Have the front of the memory card face toward the front of
the camera (lens) and the card pins toward the back of the
camera(LCD monitor), and then push the memory card into
the card slot until you hear a click.
