Incredible zoom for incredible details
F50 is equip with a powerful optical zoom lens allowing you to capture every action/image crisp and clear. With the Smart BGM feature, you are now able to add spice to your videos - choose from a variety of prerecorded background music and overlay them to movies.

Put yourself in the middle of the action
We know that a powerful optical zoom lens is a critical feature in any camcorder so that’s why the Samsung F50 comes with a 65x Intellizoom (52x Optical Zoom lens) lens. It brings you as close to the action as you need to be and ensures that every image is as clear and crisp as you remember them. To create a higher zoom rate, we’ve used additional pixels from the image sensor to the existing optical zoom. The increased number of pixels allows for clearer shots without any blurring, even from long distances. Now you can capture the details of every emotion from your child’s football game without even having to be on the field.

Extend your memories with extended recording time
With the capability of producing H.264 format videos, a high quality compression format, the Samsung F50 is capable of recording 1.5 times longer than conventional SD camcorders that capture MPEG2 format videos. That means you can spend more time recording fleeting memories and less time recharging your batteries. Plus, with the same capacity SD card, the F50 series can record longer videos at a higher picture quality than before.

Adding emotion to your home movies
In Hollywood, directors use music to establish a mood for their movies. Now you can do the same with your own home movies with the Smart BGM feature. Smart BGM lets you choose from a variety of prerecorded background music and overlay them to movies you’ve already recorded. The background music automatically becomes lower during a dialogue scene so none of the words are ever drowned out. So bring some drama into your movies and capture the attention of your viewers with Smart BGM.

Take a break in the action
When shooting a long video, like a baseball game or a child’s play, you’ll probably want to take a break for any long pauses or intermission. With the Record Pause feature on the Samsung F50, you can pause the recording and then pick up right where you left off without creating a new file. This way you only have one file to work with and don’t have to merge files for editing, sharing or transferring. Now recording you.

USB Charging
Out of battery Simply connect the Samsung F50 series to any USB port via cable and it will start recharging. This intelligent feature gives you the freedom to shoot, share, and recharge from anywhere.
