With a 5x optical zoom and dual image stabilisation to minimise picture blur from hand shake, your PL60 images will be clear and detailed, letting you capture the heart of the action.

10.2 Megapixels
High picture quality is obtained by employing a 10.2 mega pixel 1/2.33" high resolution CCD sensor. Clear picture quality can be enough resolution for printing up to poster size. A robust mounted image processor allows for rich gradation, fast and high quality picture processing.

dual image stabilisation (OIS + DIS)
Blurry images can be caused by many factors, such as hand shaking, zooming or insufficient light. Dual Image Stabilisation eliminates the blur caused by camera shake and delivers clear, crisp images every time-even under difficult lighting situations. Integrating the best lens shifting mechanisms of Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) with the sophisticated algorithms of Digital Image Stabilisation (DIS), Dual Image Stabilisation - another superior SAMSUNG innovation; corrects even the tiniest of shakes.

smart auto
Taking the perfect photo shouldn't be left just to the professionals. With SAMSUNG's innovative Smart Auto technology, your photos are guaranteed to come out perfect every time.
- Automatically analyses the shooting situations.
- Selects from one of the 11 optimised settings from portraits to landscapes.
- Takes the best photo possible no matter what the conditions are.

perfect portrait system
With our unique Perfect Portrait system imperfect photos are a thing of the past. For example, the Beauty Shot feature is like having your own make-up art is - right in your camera. It automatically identifies imperfections such as blemishes and dark circles on the face, and retouches them so that faces appear brighter and smooth. And with different level settings, you can control the amount of retouching that takes place - it's that simple! Plus, the ultra-intelligent Smile and Blink detection technologies will never let you ruin another picture-perfect moment again by detecting when the subjects' eyes are open and their smiles are at their peak.

frame guide
Imagine being able to compose a photo even before it's shot. The world's first Frame Guide feature on the PL60 has turned that into reality. The Frame Guide feature allows you easily set up the composition of the shot so it can be used as a guide for the photographer. Simply hand off the camera and you'll never have to be missing from another photo. Now your vacation pictures will come out exactly the way you envisioned them.

5x optical zoom lens
The 5x zoom will let you get close to the action without letting the bulkiness of the camera get in the way. This versatile camera surpasses the competition with its enhanced usability so you won’t miss another shot. The outstanding picture quality of the camera is achieved by the multi-coating on both sides of the lenses to reduce chromatic aberration and distortion so your photos come out picture perfect.

2.7”intelligent LCD (230K)
The SAMSUNG PL60 has a 2.7" LCD for improved contrast and colour reproduction, allowing you to enjoy a wider and clearer image. Also the SAMSUNG PL60's intelligent LCD brightness automatically detects environmental illumination and adjusts LCD brightness for optimal image viewing.

smart album
With a 4GB SD card your camera can store up to 2000 7-megabyte photos - that's a lot to keep track of! But with the Smart Album function sorting and organising your photos is easy: it allows you to sort your photos by timeline, contents, colour. Smart Album lets you get straight to the best or sort through the rest.

movie mode (VGA 30fps, MJPEG)
High quality video recording is enabled by supporting 3x optical zoom, VGA resolution at 640 x 480 (MJPEG type), and 30/15fps. Video editing capabilities (Pause during recording, Still Image Capture) enable expression of various images.

auto contrast balance (ACB)
ACB will adjust when the object is dark and the background is bright. The contrast of the object area will be automatically modified into proper brightness. More natural portraits under the backlight. Natural correction when there is large brightness difference within the frame.

ISO 3200
With a true ISO 3200 setting, your SAMSUNG camera can effectively minimise noise for crystal clear images. The super speed sensitive ISO 3200 feature give you the ability to take amazingly detailed photos-even under low light conditions. Plus, ISO 3200 lets you take perfectly focused photos of fast-moving images, like during a sporting event.
