Get more life out of your battery

Long battery life (3 Hours)
Enjoy low power consumption and a more efficient battery with Samsung’s advanced technology. With this innovative technology, you can enjoy up to three hours of battery life while recording your HD videos. That means you can continuously record your child’s baseball game without missing any of the action while changing batteries. Plus, you no longer have to carry around an extra battery or charger for those shorter trips. (Please note: This feature is available only while using the Continuous Recording mode with a bundled battery).

More natural hues in every image

BSI CMOS Sensor
Whether lush greens in a garden, cool blues of an ocean, or a ruby-toned party dress, accurately capture the many colors of life. The H400 features a CMOS Sensor, which filters light into separate red, green and blue elements for color 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.

OIS Duo + shakes off unsteady hands

OIS Duo +
With OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer) Duo +, you can capture clear and steady video, even if you have a case of shaky hands. The H400 combines a built-in OIS with digital image stabilization technology to prevent bumps, jolts, and shivers from blurring image quality. OIS Duo + also compensates for body movement that can occur while you’re moving around, or for the movement of the digital zoom.

Capture things you couldn’t before

45x Digital-zoom (30x Optical zoom)
Lightweight and compact, the H400 goes wherever you go. It also features a Schneider Kreuznach lens with 45x Digital zoom (30x Optical zoom) that puts you in the middle of the action, even when you’re far away. Capture a game-winning goal from the far end of the soccer field, or a band rocking out even from the back row. Details are as crisp and clear as if you were shooting from up close.

Get a wider view of life

3.0” Wide Touch LCD
Change the way you look at things with the 3.0" Wide Touch LCD. The large screen delivers clean, crisp images that are saturated with natural color and deep, dynamic detail. And the size also makes the touchscreen easier to use to find the feature or content you’re looking for.

Bookmark your favorite scenes with My Clip

My Clip
Play back your favorite 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.

Art Time-lapse
Capture an event that takes place over the course of hours such as a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis and present it in a fraction of the time. Art Time-Lapse Recording captures still frames at preset intervals, then creates an HD file with the stills placed in sequential order. A variety of modes, including Night Time, Zooming and Panning, give you more creative options.

Smart Auto
No matter what time of day it is, no matter where you are, with Smart Auto you’re ready for nearly any shooting scenario. Automatically select from one of 11 preset modes - such as Night, Natural Green, Macro and Portrait - to instantly compensate for a variety of varying light conditions or image details. Never again miss shooting a spontaneous scene due to time-consuming setting adjustments.

Record Pause
The Samsung H400 is filled with a number of unique features, including Samsung’s Record Pause. While shooting a video in Record Pause mode, it allows you to briefly 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. With the H400, recording your child’s playoff baseball game and sharing it with your family has never been easier.

Face Detection
The H400 never forgets a face: Face Tracking tracks the faces of subjects in motion; Face Detection automatically adjusts the focus and exposure after detecting a face on the screen; and Face Recognition remembers the best focus for those faces photographed most - so everyone will love the final photo.
