See exactly what you’re recording from almost any angle
Sometimes when you’re shooting a video, you’re not always directly in front of the LCD screen. So that’s why we designed the LCD screen on the Samsung P100 with its Wide Viewing Angle feature. Now you’ll be able to clearly see the images on the LCD screen even if you’re looking at it from the side or even above or below. That allows for wider angles when shooting your videos without any blind spots.

Put everything in focus
Shooting any type of video is always challenging. And you shouldn’t have to worry about keeping it in focus. While competitive camcorders only provide fixed focus during video recording, the Samsung P100 offers something better. The new Auto Focus feature on the P100 automatically keeps your subject matter in focus so you can focus on the shot. Auto Focus measures the distance of the objects in the frame and then automatically adjusts the focus so every shot is clear and in focus.

The camcorder that adapts to your surroundings
When you’re shooting, you don’t want to worry about things like varying light conditions. So from shooting landscapes or family portraits, the Samsung P100’s intelligent Smart Auto feature automatically selects the best shooting mode to capture video and even stills. Smart Auto has 5 pre-set modes to address a wide number of different shooting situations such as indoor lighting, portrait. So no matter what the conditions are, Smart Auto will help you to take the perfect shot every time.

Built-in USB & USB Charging
Tired of too many wires weighing you down? The Samsung camcorder lets you connect anywhere without the inconvenience of having to carry extra cables. It features a handy USB arm built into the side of the camcorder so you can easily transfer videos to your notebook and share them with friends and family.

Support Micro SD Memory Card
To make the Samsung P100 camcorder as user-friendly as possible, it’s built with Micro SD technology. Micro SD, allows for the P100 to be much smaller than conventional camcorders, while also enhancing the usability of its features and increasing memory size without adding more bulk.

Personalize your memories with artistic effects
Get creative with your Samsung P100’s Smart Filter feature. Smart Filter lets your creative imagination run wild with a wide range of colour and lens effects to deliver an artistic edge to your videos and stills. The Vignetting fades the edges of your shots and the fun Fish-eye effect gives your videos a cool, distorted feel.

Capture videos as well as stills
Avoid the hassle of carrying a digital camera and a camcorder with the Samsung P100 camcorder. Not only does it take Full HD videos, but the P100 also takes fine quality still shots. At 5M Pixels, you can switch from shooting video to capturing decent-quality stills with a push of a button. So instead of sharing an entire movie clip, you can easily email still images. So now you have the flexibility of doing more but with less equipment.

Pause doesn’t mean stop
When shooting a long video, like a baseball game or a child’s play, you want to take a break for any long pauses or intermission. With the Record Pause feature on the Samsung P100, 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 you recording your home videos and sharing it with your family has never been easier.
