The Samsung ES30 delivers true-to-life colour and detail with its ultra wide lens and 5x zoom. And once you have taken the photo, that’s when you can start having creative fun with the editing tools. The Perfect Portrait system allows for you to create visual effects while also removing unwanted blemishes – giving your pictures that professional look. And with VGA quality video recording capabilities, you can really capture all of life’s precious moments.

Capture More Of Your Life
You already have the eye. Now all you need is the camera to capture the world exactly the way you see it. The ES30 combines a 27mm ultra wide angle lens with a 5x zoom. Letting you can fit more in frame while delivering a deeper perspective. And the 12.2 megapixels provide the sharp, crisp detail to reveal all kinds of things. Including what a great photographer you are.

When it comes to brightness, it’s brilliant.
When we engineered the Samsung ES30 to be bright, we meant it in both senses of the word. It’s intelligent and luminous, both. It has a 3.0” LCD for improved contrast and colour reproduction, which allows you to enjoy a wider and clearer image. And its Intelligent LCD brightness automatically detects environmental illumination and adjusts the LCD brightness for optimal image viewing. It does the thinking for you, which makes the ES30 a smart choice.

Just what you had in mind
You see the image you want in your head. You point the ES30. And Smart Auto sees it too. This scene recognition technology actually chooses from 16 different settings ranging from landscape to portrait automatically. Then adjusts for the perfect shot. Whether it's catching your friends on a night on the town or a waterfall off a mountain. What you get is exactly what you had in mind. Plus all the credit.

The camera loves you.
No one has a bad side with ES30's Perfect Portrait system. Sure it fixes red-eye, but this next generation face detection technology even detects blinking. So you're always sure eyes are open and smiles are bright. In addition it evens skin tones, erases blemishes and removes dark circles. And with different level settings, you can control how much retouching you do. Not that your friends and family need any.

Lost. And then found.
Say you've got about 2000 photos stored on your ES30 and you're looking for one in particular. You could flip through all 2000 or have the Smart Album feature do it for you. It will search and find photos just the way you want. Go straight to that shot you took whether it was last week or last Friday. You can search by colour tone, or even by file type. So no matter how many memories you have crammed onto your memory card, getting directly to the one you want is a no brainer.

Shake, Rattle or Stroll
Even the tiniest shake can ruin your shot. The ES30's Digital Image Stabilization solves that. Digital Image Stabilization gives you sharp images no matter the condition. Whether it's low light, zooming or just a case of plain old shaky hands, your photos come out sharp and clear. So let the ES30 shake things up. In a good way.

VGA quality video. Now in a compact camera.
If you prefer still shots to movies but want to leave your options open the ES30 is right for you. You'll get 640 x 480 quality video at 30 frames per second. You even can use the 5x optical zoom to get up close and vividly personal. And when things get dicey, you can even pause your recording. You'll give up nothing, except carrying around that extra camera.

High Sensitivity ISO 1600
Nobody likes low-light noise. And with the ES30 you won’t get any. Its ISO of 1600 delivers crystal clear indoor shots even in low light and sharp details on fast moving objects. So turn down the lights and have some fun.
