Capture yourself in one shot
Dual LCD (1.5" Front LCD)

The DV300F features a front LCD that makes taking group and other tricky self-portraits a snap. Play Children Mode animation to hold a kid still; let the group know just when to smile with Self Timer’s visual countdown. Be part of every image with the front LCD, preview self-portraits, then click, and effortlessly get perfect pictures with you in the middle of the action. With Jump Shot 2.0, quickly shoot images of your friends jumping around, and then create fun GIF animations.

Instant Sharing & Saving, simply
Wi-Fi Connectivity

With Built-in Wi-Fi capability, you can share any special moment and exciting moment on the move. Send photos by uploading to Facebook™, Picasa™, Photobucket™ or email directly from the camera. You can also upload videos to YouTube then sit back to wait for the raves. The DV300F lets you upload photos to cloud service so never worried about losing the pictures while on the go or losing chance with limited memory size. Samsung Mobile Link allows you to directly send your images to your smartphone and tablet. You can also save the images to your PC by just one click with Auto Backup. No more searching for the cable, it is that easy.

Add action to your still photos
Motion Photo

With Motion Photo, you can freeze time around a moving subject to create enchanting images. Capture a friend dancing while everyone else around him is still as a statue — just like in a Hollywood blockbuster. Simply shoot the footage then select the area where you want action — the photo around it will freeze. It’s that easy.

Closer, wider, brighter
5X Zoom / F2.5 25mm Lens / 16.1 Mega Pixels

When you’re taking pictures at a performance, make every seat the best seat in the house. The 5x optical zoom gives you great close-ups, even from the back row. Up front? The 25mm wide-angle lens captures all the action on stage. And the combination of 16.1 megapixels and F2.5 lens give you high quality images — even in dim lights.

Classic design with modern touch
Design

With the modern design of the dual LCD screens, the front LCD is neatly hidden leaving much room for style. The front catches your subject’s eye with its shimmering metallic colour, while the point colour leather grip pattern of the back provides a pleasing contrast. With its sleek, seamless body and rounded design, the camera feels as good in your hand as it feels great to have handy.

The simple way to go pro
Smart Auto 2.0

Whether you’re capturing under bright conditions and cannot see the subject’s face, use the backlight mode and get a clearer picture using Smart Auto 2.0 (Still & Movie). Get the best possible result every time. Scene detection technology identifies up to 16 different shooting conditions, instantly analyses key elements of your composition, and then automatically adjusts to optimise settings for every individual situation.

Videos and photos, together at last
Picture in Picture (Still / Movie)

Picture in Picture (Still / Movie) lets you show off two images at the same time. Simply insert one picture within another, and then adjust its size and position. You can even add a video clip to one of your still photos. Done? Instantly upload the moments to YouTube or your favourite social network to share with the rest of the world.

Funny Face brings you larger-than-life smiles
Funny Face

Give friends and family members goofy grins, comical noses and crazy eyes –Funny Face comes with 8 modes — including Professor, Gobbler and Alien — that let you hilariously alter faces, right on the display. And with Face Tracking, funny faces stay the way you want, even when you move the camera.

Frame your pictures in fun
Magic Frame

Turn a portrait into an old film still, or put a friend’s face on a billboard. Magic Frame comes with 12 background templates such as Wall Art, Full Moon, Magazine and Holiday that let you easily create poster-quality art that’s perfect for sharing

Turn life into an art
Artistic Brush

Artistic Brush is a fun, new feature that draws on your life. Literally. It can take any portrait, landscape or candid and turn it into a black and white sketch — then colours in the picture as an artist would! Show off The Artist at Work animation on the camera’s LCD to your friends and family.

Combine images for unique creations
Split Shot

With Split Shot, you can merge up to three different images to create an artistic statement – turn yourself into a centaur by combining a self-portrait with a picture of a horse. Or simply take one image and run it through three different filters to produce an evocative collage. Let your imagination loose and enjoy fun, energetic, even ethereal results.

OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation)

The DV300F’s Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) gives you perfect pictures, even if you’re not perfectly still. Whether you’re in a low light situation, zooming into a shot, or have a momentary case of shaky hands, your photos come out sharp and clear.

3.0” hVGA LCD

The large 3.0" hVGA LCD display makes it easier to see just what you’re shooting— no second-guessing your shot. And with a substantial 460k dots — about twice that of QVGA, the high-resolution display also provides improved contrast and colour reproduction. What you see looks as perfect as what you’ll capture.
