HD quality video. Now in a compact camera
The PL20 artfully combines a professional-grade still camera with a compact HD video camera. You get 720p HD quality video at 24 frames per second. Use the 5x zoom to get up close and vividly personal.

The simple way to go pro
Turn any moment into a perfect memory. And a professional-looking photo. Whether it's a few friends from last night's party or the moon reflecting off the lake, Smart Auto 2.0 (Still) instantly analyzes key elements of your composition then automatically adjusts to capture the perfect shot with multitude of different photo modes.

Cool effects make every photo unique
Samsung’s Smart Filter lens and color effects deliver an artistic edge to your still shots and videos. The Miniature Effect gives your subjects a miniaturized look, the Vignetting Camera Effect delivers a strikingly strong compositional contrast, and our Fish-eye Effect gives your video that cool distorted feel. So get creative and get Samsung.

When it comes to brightness, it’s brilliant
When we engineered the Samsung PL20 to be bright, we meant it in both senses of the word. It’s intelligent and luminous, both. It has a 2.7” LCD for improved contrast and color 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 PL20 a smart choice.

High Sensitivity ISO 1600
With a true ISO 1600 setting, your Samsung camera can effectively minimize noise for crystal clear images. The super speed sensitive ISO 1600 feature give you the ability to take amazingly detailed photo seven under low light conditions. Plus, ISO 1600 lets you take perfectly focused photos of fast-moving images, like during a sporting event.

Face Detection
Advanced automatic face detection software is capable of accurately detecting and recognizing multiple faces, ensuring that every facial feature of each person is always in focus.

Perfect Portrait System
With our unique Perfect Portrait System, you can get beautiful portrait shoots in every condition and moment. (ex. Beauty Shot)

Smart Album
