. Available options may differ depending on the shooting mode, the lens you are using, and the shooting conditions. Depending on the option selected, some settings may not be available. EV (brightness) The camera automatically sets the exposure by measuring the levels of light from the photos composition and the position of a subject. If the exposure set by the camera is higher or lower than you expected, you can adjust the exposure value manually. Tap EV (brightness), and select an option. Darker (-) Neutral (0) Brighter (+) 76 Camera: Shooting options and settings When taking a photo, if the appropriate exposure value cannot be decided, use the bracket set option to take multiple photos with different exposure values. Taking photos with higher exposure values may result in blurry photos, due to slower shutter speed. ISO (sensitivity) The ISO sensitivity value represents the sensitivity of the camera to light. The higher the ISO sensitivity, the more sensitive the camera is to light. Consequently, by selecting a higher ISO sensitivity, you can take photos in dim or dark places at faster shutter speeds. However, this may increase electronic noise and result in a grainy photo. Tap ISO (sensitivity), and select an option. Examples ISO 100 ISO 400 ISO 800 ISO 3200 77 Camera: Shooting options and settings Increase the ISO sensitivity in places where flash use is prohibited. You can take a clear photo by setting a high ISO sensitivity without having to secure more light. Use the noise reduction feature to reduce the visual noise that can appear on photos of a high ISO sensitivity. (p. 92) WB (light source) The white balance represents the light source that influences on the colour of a photo. The colour of a photo depends on the type and quality of the light source. If you want the colour of your photo to be realistic, select an appropriate lighting condition to calibrate the white balance, or adjust the colour temperature manually. You can also adjust colour for the preset light sources so that the colours of the photo match the actual scene under mixed lighting conditions. Tap WB (light source), and select an option. Auto: Use automatic settings depending on the lighting conditions. Daylight: Use this for sunny days. This option results in photos closest to the natural colours of the scene. Cloudy: Use this for cloudy days or in shadows. Photos taken on cloudy days tend to be more bluish than on sunny days. This option offsets that effect. Fluorescent_H: Use this under daylight fluorescent or 3-way fluorescent lights. Fluorescent_L: Use this under white fluorescent lights. Fluorescent_D: Use this under a daylight fluorescent lamp. Tungsten: Use this under incandescent bulbs or halogen lamps. Incandescent tungsten bulbs tend to have a reddish hue. This option offsets that effect. Flash WB: Use this when using a flash. Custom set: Use this to set a custom white balance. Tap white surface, and then press the Shutter button.

Tap the arrows or tap an area on the screen to adjust G: Green A: Amber M: Magenta B: Blue Metering The metering mode refers to the method the camera measures the quantity of light. The camera measures the amount of light in a scene, and in many of its modes, uses the measurement to adjust various settings. For example, if a subject looks darker than its actual colour, the camera takes an overexposed photo of it. If a subject looks lighter than its actual colour, the camera takes an underexposed photo of it. Tap Metering, and select an option. Multi: The camera calculates the amount of light in multiple areas. When light is sufficient or insufficient, the camera adjusts the exposure by averaging the overall brightness of the scene. This mode is suitable for general photos. Spot: The camera calculates the amount of light in the centre. When you take a photo in conditions where there is a strong backlight behind a subject, the camera adjusts the exposure to shoot a subject correctly. Centre-weighted: The camera calculates a broader area than the camera does in spot mode. It sums up the amount of light in the centre portion of the shot (6080 %) and that of the rest of the shot (2040 %). 80 Camera: Shooting options and settings Drive Use this option to set the shooting method. Continuous or burst shots are recommended for shooting the rapid motion of fast moving subjects, such as racing cars. Tap Drive, and select an option. Single shot: Use this to take a single photo. Continuous normal: Use this to take five photos per second continuously while you are pressing the Shutter button. Continuous high: Use this to take about eight photos per second continuously while you are pressing the Shutter button. Burst (10fps) / Burst (15fps) / Burst (30fps): Use this to take 30 photos continuously when you press the Shutter button once. AE BKT: Use the auto exposure bracketing option to take three consecutive photos with different exposure values (one a step lighter, the original, and one a step darker). Use a tripod to prevent blurry photos. You can adjust the interval range in Bracket set. (p. 91) WB BKT: Use the white balance bracketing option to take three consecutive photos with different white balance settings (the original and two more with different white balance settings). The original photo is taken when you press the Shutter button. The other two are automatically adjusted to the white balance you have set. You can adjust the interval range in Bracket set. (p. 91) Saving photos may take longer depending on memory card capacity and performance when taking photos continuously. Using a tripod is recommended when taking photos continuously. 81 Camera: Shooting options and settings Display Use this option to add or remove shooting information from the screen. Tap Display, and select an option. Normal: The camera displays basic shooting information on the screen. Histogram: The camera displays the histogram on the screen. A histogram is a graph that shows the brightness distribution of a photo. A histogram inclined to the left indicates a dark photo. A histogram inclined to the right indicates a bright photo. The height of the graph is related to colour information. The graph gets higher if a specific colour is more common. Insufficient exposure Balanced exposure Excessive exposure Horizontal level: The camera displays the level gauge on the screen. The level gauge helps you align the camera with the horizontal and vertical lines on the screen. Vertical Horizontal Level Unlevel Distance scale: The camera displays the distance scale on the screen. The distance scale indicates the distance between a subject and the camera. This function is available only when you attach a lens that supports the distance scale function. 82 Camera: Shooting options and settings Save as User mode Use this to save the current settings as your own shooting mode.

The camera takes a photo of a subject later in an action sequence clearly. Ball moving direction Keep the flash retracted when not in use to avoid damage. Forcing the flash to open may cause damage to the camera. Use only Samsung-approved flashes. Using incompatible flashes may damage your camera. There is an interval between two bursts of the flash. Do not move until the flash fires a second time. If you select Off, the flash does not fire even when an external flash is attached. If light from the flash is reflected, or if a substantial amount of dust is in the air, tiny spots may appear in the photo. If you attach an intensity-adjustable external flash to the camera, the intensity settings of the flash will be applied. If the subject is too close when you use the flash, some light may be blocked, resulting in a dark photo. Ensure that the subject is within the recommended range, which varies by lenses. When a lens hood is attached, the light from the flash can be blocked by the hood. Remove the hood to use the flash. Adjusting the flash intensity When the flash is on, adjust the flash intensity. Tap next to an option, and then drag the slider or tap or to adjust the intensity. 84 Camera: Shooting options and settings AF mode Use this option to select a focus mode appropriate to the subject.

Adobe RGB: Adobe RGB is used for commercial printing and has a larger colour range than sRGB. Its wider range of colours helps you to easily edit photos on a computer.

The rule for creating file names varies depending on the selected colour space option. sRGB files: YYYYMMDD_hhmmss.JPG. For example, for a photo taken on Jan. 02, 2013, at 15:30:45, the file name would be 20130102_153045.jpg. File names for continuous or burst photos would be YYYYMMDD_hhmmss_x.JPG, for the previous example, the file name would be 20130102_153045_1.JPG. Adobe RGB files: YYYYMMDD_hhmmss_A.JPG.

If any dust remains, apply lens cleaning liquid to a lens cleaning paper, and wipe gently. Image sensor Depending on different shooting conditions, dust may appear in photos because the image sensor is exposed to the external environment. This problem is normal, and the exposure to dust occurs in everyday use of the camera. You can remove dust from the sensor by operating the sensor cleaning function. (p. 96) If dust remains after cleaning the sensor, contact a service centre. Do not insert the blower into the mounting opening of the lens. Camera body Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Never use benzene, thinners, or alcohol to clean the device. These solutions can damage the device or cause it to malfunction. 168 Concepts in Photography Shooting postures A correct posture for stabilising the camera is necessary for taking a good photo. Even if you hold a camera correctly, the wrong posture can cause the camera to shake. Stand up straight and remain still to maintain a steady base for your camera. When shooting with a slow shutter speed, hold your breath to minimise body movement. Holding the camera Hold the camera with your right hand and place you right index finger on the Shutter button. Place your left hand under the lens for support. 169 Concepts in Photography Standing photography Compose your shot, stand up straight with your feet shoulder-length apart, and keep your elbows pointed down. Crouching photography Compose your shot, crouch with one knee touching the ground, and keep a straight posture. 170 Concepts in Photography Aperture The aperture, a hole that controls the amount of light that enters the camera, is one of the three factors that determine the exposure. The aperture housing contains thin and metal plates that open and close to let light through the aperture and into the camera. The size of the aperture is closely related to the brightness of a photo: the larger the aperture, the brighter the photo; the smaller the aperture, the darker the photo. Darker photo
(aperture opened slightly) Brighter photo
(aperture opened wide) The size of the aperture is represented by a value known as an F-number. The f-number represents the focal length divided by the diameter of the lens. For example, if a lens with a 50 mm focal length has an f-number of F2, the diameter of the aperture is 25 mm. (50 mm/25 mm=F2) The smaller the f-number, the greater the size of the aperture. The opening in the aperture is described as the exposure value (EV). Increasing the exposure value (+1 EV) means the amount of light doubles. Decreasing the exposure value (-1 EV) means the amount of light halves. You can also use the exposure compensation feature to fine-tune the amount of light by subdividing exposure values into 1/2, 1/3 EV, and so on.
+1 EV
-1 EV F1.4 F2 F2.8 F4 F5.6 F8 Exposure value steps 171 Concepts in Photography Aperture value and the depth of field You can blur or sharpen the background of a photo by controlling the aperture. It is closely related to the depth of field (DOF), which can be expressed as small or large. A photo with a large DOF A photo with a small DOF The aperture housing contains several blades. These blades move together and control the amount of light passing through the centre of the aperture. The number of blades also affects the shape of light when shooting night scenes. If an aperture has an even number of blades, light divides into an equal number of sections. If the number of blades is odd, the number of sections is double the number of blades. For example, an aperture with 8 blades divides light into 8 sections and an aperture with 7 blades into 14 sections. 7 blades 8 blades 172 Concepts in Photography Shutter speed Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as it controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. Usually, the shutter speed is manually adjustable. The measurement of the shutter speed is the exposure value (EV), which is marked in intervals of 1 s, 1/2 s, 1/4 s, 1/8 s, 1/15 s, 1/1000 s, 1/2000 s, and so on. Exposure
+1 EV
+1 EV 1s 1/2 s 1/4 s 1/8 s 1/15 s 1/30 s Shutter speed Therefore, the faster the shutter speed, the less light will be let in. Likewise, the slower the shutter speed, the more light will be let in. As the photos below illustrate, a slow shutter speed allows more time to let light in, so the photo becomes brighter. On the other hand, a fast shutter speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion. 0.8 s 0.004 s 173 Concepts in Photography ISO sensitivity The exposure of an image is determined by the sensitivity of the camera. This sensitivity is based on international film standards, known as ISO standards. On digital cameras, this sensitivity rating is used to represent the sensitivity of the digital mechanism that captures the image. ISO sensitivity doubles as the number doubles. For example, an ISO 200 setting is capable of taking photos at twice the speed of an ISO 100 setting. However, higher ISO settings can result in noise. As a general rule, it is best to use a low ISO setting to prevent noise in your photos, unless you are shooting in darkened environments or at night. Changes in the quality and brightness according to ISO sensitivity Because a low ISO sensitivity means the camera will be less sensitive to light, you need more light to have an optimal exposure. When using a low ISO sensitivity, open the aperture more or reduce the shutter speed to allow more light to enter the camera. For example, on a sunny day when light is abundant, a low ISO sensitivity does not require a slow shutter speed. However, in a dark place or at night, a low ISO sensitivity and a slow shutter speed will result in a blurry photo. A photo taken with a tripod and high ISO sensitivity A blurred photo with a low ISO sensitivity 174 Concepts in Photography How the aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity control exposure The aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity are closely interconnected in photography. The aperture setting controls the opening that regulates the light that enters the camera, while the shutter speed determines the length of time that light is allowed to enter. ISO sensitivity determines the speed at which the film reacts to light. Together, these three aspects are described as the triangle of exposure. A change in shutter speed, aperture value, or ISO sensitivity can be offset by adjustments to the others to maintain the amount of light. The results, however, change according to the settings. For example, shutter speed is useful in expressing movement, the aperture can control the depth of field, and the ISO sensitivity can control the graininess of a photo. Aperture value Setting Result Wide aperture = more light Narrow aperture = less light Wide = small depth of field Narrow = large depth of field 175 Concepts in Photography Shutter speed Setting Result Fast speed = less light Slow speed = more light Fast = still Slow = blurry ISO sensitivity Setting Result High sensitivity = more sensitive to light Low sensitivity = less sensitive to light High = more grainy Low = less grainy 176 Concepts in Photography Correlation between focal length, angle, and perspective Focal length, which is measured in millimetres, is the distance between the middle of the lens to its focal point. It affects the angle and perspective of taken photos. A short focal length translates into a wide angle, which allows you to take wide shots. A long focal length translates into a narrow angle, which allows you to take telephoto shots. Short focal length Long focal length 177 Concepts in Photography Look at these photos below and compare the changes. 20 mm angle 50 mm angle 200 mm angle Normally, a lens with a wide angle is suitable for shooting landscapes and a lens with a narrow angle is recommended for shooting sports events or portraits. Depth of field Portraits or still-life photos mostly acclaimed by people are the ones on which the background is out of focus so the subject looks pronounced. Depending on the focused areas, a photo can be blurred or sharpened. This is called a low DOF or a high DOF. The depth of field is the focused area around the subject. Therefore, a small DOF signifies that the focused area is narrow and a large DOF means the focused area is wide. 178 Concepts in Photography A photo with a small DOF, which stresses the subject and makes the rest of it blurred, can be obtained by using a telescope lens or selecting a low aperture value. Conversely, a photo with a large DOF which shows all the elements on the photo sharply focused can be achieved by using a wide angle lens or selecting a high aperture value. Small depth of field Large depth of field What controls out-of-focus effects?
DOF depends on aperture value The wider the aperture is (namely the lower the aperture value), the lower the DOF becomes. Under the condition where the other values including the shutter speed and ISO sensitivity are equal, a low aperture value leads to a photo with a low DOF. 50 mm F5.7 50 mm F22 179 Concepts in Photography DOF depends on focal length The longer the focal length is, the lower the DOF gets. A telescope lens with a longer focal length than a telescope lens with a short focal length is better to take a photo of a low DOF. A photo taken with a 20 mm telescope lens A photo taken with a 100 mm telescope lens DOF depends on the distance between the subject and the camera The shorter the distance between the subject and the camera is, the lower the DOF gets. Therefore, taking a photo close to a subject can result in a photo of low DOF. A photo taken with a 100 mm telescope lens A photo taken close to the subject 180 Concepts in Photography Composition It is fun to take a photo of the beauty of world with a camera. No matter how the world is beautiful, however, a poor composition cannot capture the beauty of it. When it comes to composition, it is very important to prioritise subjects. Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo. Usually, abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition. Rule of thirds To use the rule of thirds, divide the image into a 3x3 pattern of equal rectangles. To compose photos that best emphasise the subject, make sure the subject is located at one of the corners of the centre rectangle. 181 Concepts in Photography Using the rule of thirds will create photos with stable and compelling compositions. Below are a few examples. Photos with two subjects If your subject is in one corner of the photo, it creates an unbalanced composition. You can stabilise the photo by capturing a second subject in the opposite corner to balance the weight of the photo. Subject 2 Subject 2 Subject 1 Subject 1 Unstable Stable 182 Concepts in Photography When taking landscape photos, centring the horizon will create an unbalanced effect. Give more weight to the photo by moving the horizon up or down. Subject 1 Subject 2 Unstable Subject 1 Subject 2 Stable Flash Light is one of the most important components in photography. Its not easy, however, to have an enough amount of light anytime and anywhere. Making use of a flash allows you to optimise light settings and create a variety of effects. Flash, also known as strobe or speed light, helps to create adequate exposure in low-light conditions. It is also useful in light-abundant situations. For example, flash can be used in compensating the exposure of a subjects shadow or capturing clearly both the subject and the background in backlit conditions. Before correction After correction 183 Concepts in Photography Flash guide number The model number of a flash refers to the flashs power, and the maximum amount of light created is represented by a value known as a guide number. The bigger the guide number, the more light is emitted from the flash. The guide number is achieved by multiplying the distance from the flash to the subject and the aperture value when the ISO sensitivity is set to 100. Guide number = Flash to Subject Distance X Aperture value Aperture value = Guide number / Flash to Subject Distance Flash to Subject Distance = Guide number / Aperture value Therefore, if you know the guide number of a flash, you can estimate an optimum flash to subject distance when setting the flash manually. For example, if a flash has a guide number of GN 20 and is 4 metres away from the subject, the optimal aperture value is F5.0. Bounce photography Bounce photography refers to the method of bouncing light off of the ceiling or walls so that the light spreads evenly over the subject. Normally, photos taken with flash may appear unnatural and cast shadows. Subjects in photos taken with bounce photography cast no shadows and look smooth due to evenly spread light. 184 Some content may differ from your device depending on the region, service provider, or software version, and is subject to change without prior notice. www.samsung.com English (EU). 05/2013.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
Body-worn SAR 0.842 W/k During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimise interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile imaging device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value. Safety information Delete suspicious messages or email from unknown senders. Set a password and change it regularly. Deactivate wireless features, such as Bluetooth, when not in use. If the device behaves abnormally, run an antivirus program to check for infection. Run an antivirus program on your device before you launch newly-downloaded applications and files. Install antivirus programs on your computer and run them regularly to check for infection. Do not edit registry settings or modify the devices operating system. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES Your mobile imaging device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organisation (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. 28 FCC Notice and Cautions FCC Notice This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Battery march Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publication Sales Division. Cautions Changes or modifications made in the radio Camera, not expressly approved by Samsung, will void the users authority to operate the equipment. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and void the Camera warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the Camera. Although your Camera is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it. Other Important Safety Information Only qualified personnel should service the Camera or install the Camera in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty applicable to the device. Check regularly that all wireless Camera equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment as the Camera, its parts or accessories. For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result. Switch your Camera off before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless Camera in aircraft is illegal and may be dangerous to the aircraft's operation. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of telephone services to the offender, or legal action, or both. This device is capable of operating in Wi-Fi mode in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The FCC requires that devices operating within 5.15-5.25 GHz may only be used indoors, not outside, in order to avoid interference with MobileSatellite Services (MSS). Product Performance Getting the Most Out of Your Signal Reception The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your area. Your Camera informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. If you're inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception. Understanding the Power Save Feature If your Camera is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your Camera is active, it periodically rechecks service availability or you can check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message displays on the screen. When a signal is found, your Camera returns to standby mode. Maintaining Your Camera's Peak Performance For the best care of your Camera, only authorized personnel should service your Camera and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty. There are several simple guidelines to operating your Camera properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service. Do not tamper or alter the Camera's antenna. Don't use the Camera if the antenna is damaged. Avoid exposing your Camera and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your Camera does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery. If it is inoperable, call Customer Care for service. Availability of Various Features/Ring Tones Many services and features are network dependent and may require additional subscription and/or usage charges. Not all features are available for purchase or use in all areas. Downloadable Ring Tones may be available at an additional cost. Other conditions and restrictions may apply. See your service provider for additional information. Health and safety information Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Certification Information (SAR) Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy. The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile device employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless devices to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/ kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a new device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model device are performed in positions and locations as required by the FCC. For normal operation as described in this manual, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines. Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this and other models can be viewed on-line at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/. Please use the device FCC ID number for search, A3LEKGN120A. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular device, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular device. Additional product specific SAR information can also be obtained on the website. Organisations such as the World Health Organisation and the US Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are concerned and want to reduce their exposure, they could use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from the face and body during use, or reduce the amount of time spent using the device.
