Get more life out of your battery
Enjoy low power consumption and a more efficient battery with Samsung’s advanced technology. With this innovative technology, you can enjoy up to three hours of battery life while recording your HD videos. That means you can continuously record your child’s baseball game without missing any of the action while changing batteries. Plus, you no longer have to carry around an extra battery or charger for those shorter trips. (Please note: This feature is available only while using the Continuous Recording mode with a bundled battery)

Shoot video that’s as clear as day
The Samsung H304 HD camcorder, with its advanced BSI CMOS technology, adds new light to your videos. The H304 uses a 1/4” 5M Pixel BSI CMOS to deliver improved sensitivity compared to conventional CMOS sensors. By dramatically reducing image noise and distortion and enhancing recording quality during low light conditions, you can capture crystal-clear videos whether you’re at a birthday party in a dimly lit restaurant or at home recording your child’s first steps.

Say goodbye to shaky videos
No longer will once-in-a-lifetime recording be ruined by shaky hands or blurred image. The H304 is equipped with the OIS Duo feature—a built-in optical image stabilizer combined with digital image stabilization technology that quickly sets H304 apart from competing products. The OIS Duo automatically adjusts to compensate for even the slightest hand or body movements, resulting in steadier videos. What’s more, the OIS Duo maximizes the area of stability at the same time, for crisp videos even when walking or moving around.

The camcorder that adapts to your surroundings
When you’re shooting, the last thing you want to worry about is adjusting your camcorder’s settings to compensate for varying light conditions or image details. Whether shooting landscapes or family portraits, the H304’s intelligent Smart Auto feature automatically selects the best shooting mode to capture video and even stills. Smart Auto has 10pre-set modes to manage a wide number of different shooting situations such as low lighting, portraits, sunsets, and more. No matter what the conditions are, Smart Auto will help you to take the perfect shot every time.
