The Samsung F90 will change the way you relive—and share—your memories. Get unbelievably close to the action from far away with the 52x optical zoom, and perfectly capture lifelike images with HD recording. Since your masterpieces will be too good to keep to yourself, the time-saving One-Touch Sharing Button makes it simple to upload videos to YouTube. Other innovative features include Smart Background Music, to enhance your movies’ mood, and My Clip, to help you find favourite scenes instantly.

Incredible zoom for incredible details
52x Optical Zoom (70x intelli zoom)
We know that a powerful optical zoom lens is a critical feature in any camcorder so that’s why the Samsung CAMCORDER comes with a 70x intelli zoom (52x optical zoom) lens. It brings you as close to the action as you need to be and ensures that every image is as clear and crisp as you remember them. To create a higher zoom rate, we’ve added additional pixels from the image sensor to the existing optical zoom.

Capture crystal-clear video with HD recording
HD Recording (1280 x 720 30p)
Experience the same clarity, richness, and vibrancy you do while watching high definition movies — with your own videos. 1280 x 720 30p HD recording offers 2.5x better resolution than conventional standard definition camcorders. And since video is captured at 30 frames per second, you’ll enjoy a cinematic-like presentation — especially when played back on your large screen HDTV or desktop HD monitor.

Simpler and faster YouTube uploads
One Touch Sharing Button
A baby’s first steps. A grandmother blowing out 90 birthday candles. Dolphins leaping from the ocean. Let the rest of the world share in the fun with easy one-touch YouTube uploads. After you capture your must-share moments, simply connect the camcorder to a PC, select your files, and press the One-Touch Sharing Button to quickly upload your videos to YouTube.

Bookmark your favourite scenes
My Clip
Play back your favourite moments of a night out with friends or your hike through the woods — without having to waste time fast-forwarding or rewinding. The My Clip feature allows you to tag any scene in your video, so you can instantly relive the most hilarious bits or amazing sights over and over again — with no additional editing.

More natural hues in every image
Natural colour with CMOS
Whether lush greens in a garden, cool blues of an ocean, or a ruby-toned party dress, accurately capture the many colours of life. The CAMCORDER features a CMOS Sensor, which filters light into separate red, green and blue elements for colour reproduction that is richer, deeper, and more natural looking than any taken with a CCD Sensor. You’ll also enjoy clearer images, with no vertical smears.

Give your home movies emotional heft
Smart BGM II
Add a professional touch to your movies with Smart BGM Ⅱ (with My Music). Select one of four preloaded classical pieces to score your videos. Or import songs from your PC’s music library by using Samsung’s Intelli-Studio. And if there’s talking in the scene, it won’t get drowned out by the score. Smart BGM Ⅱ automatically lowers the music, so you always hear whoever is speaking.

Take a break in the action
Record Pause
When shooting a long video, like a baseball game or a child’s play, you’ll probably want to take a break for any long pauses or intermission. With the Record Pause feature on the Samsung CAMCORDER, 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.
