HD quality video. Now in a compact camera.
If you prefer still shots to movies but want to leave your options open (and leave your camcorder at home) the PL70 is right for you. You'll get 720p HD quality video at 30 frames per second. And a recording time that's 3.5x longer than MJPEG video. You even can use the 5X optical zoom to get up close and vividly personal. And when things get dicey, you can even pause your recording. You'll give up nothing, except carrying around that extra camera.

Just what you had in mind
You see the image you want in your head. You point the PL70. And Smart Auto sees it too. This scene recognition technology actually chooses from 11 different settings ranging from landscape to portrait automatically. Then adjusts for the perfect shot. Whether it's catching your friends on a night on the town or a waterfall off a mountain. What you get is exactly what you had in mind. Plus all the credit.

Shake, rattle or stroll
Even the tiniest shake can ruin your shot. The PL70’s Dual Image Stabilization solves that. Samsung has combined the revolutionary technology of their ultimate Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) mechanism with the advanced algorithms of Digital Image Stabilization (DIS). Giving you sharp images no matter the condition. Whether it’s low light, zooming or just a case of plain old shaky hands, your photos come out sharp and clear. So let the PL70 shake things up. In a good way.

3.0" Intelligent LCD
The Samsung IT100 has a 3.0” LCD for improved contrast and colour reproduction, allowing you to enjoy a wider and clearer image. Also The Samsung IT100 is intelligent LCD brightness automatically detects environmental illumination and adjusts LCD brightness for optimal imageviewing.

Lost. And then found
Say you've got about 2,000 photos stored on your PL70 and you're looking for one in particular. You could flip through all 2,000 or have the Smart Album feature do it for you. It will search and find photos just the way you want. Go straight to that shot you took whether it was last week or last Friday. You can search by color ton, or even by file type. So no matter how many memories you have crammed onto your memory card, getting directly to the one you want is a no brainer.

Recycle Bin
Accidents happen. But now that shot you didn’t really mean to delete is saved in the PL70’s Recycle Bin. You can rest easy, because every shot is automatically stored in a temporary folder just in case you have second thoughts.

Frame Guide
Not everyone takes picture as well as you. Until now. The PL70’s Frame Guide lets you set up the shot you want. Then just hand it off to a friend and your frame guide is there to follow. All you have to do is smile.
