Samsung Q10 HD Camcorder
Shoot video that’s as clear as day
The Samsung Q10 HD camcorder, with its advanced BSI CMOS technology, sheds new light to your videos. The Q10 uses a 1/4” 5M (1/5.8” 2.07M effective) Pixel BSI CMOS to deliver double the sensitivity of conventional CMOS sensors. By dramatically reducing image noise and distortion, and enhancing recording quality during low light conditions, you can capture crystal-clear videos whether you’re a at birthday party in a dimly lit restaurant or at home recording your child’s first steps.
A camcorder that’s ambidextrous
When designing the Samsung Q10 HD camcorder, every detail was carefully considered when it came to improved usability. That’s why the Q10 is the first camcorder in its class to feature the innovative Switch Grip function, giving you the flexibility to hold the camcorder in either hand. The built-in G-magnetic sensor quickly recognizes when the camcorder and its LCD display is turned so it knows which hand is holding it. That means you can hold the Q10 with whichever hand is more comfortable or allows you to capture videos from the best vantage point.
Fully intuitive for full enjoyment
With so many built-in advanced features, it’s comforting to know that you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know how to use them. The Samsung Q10 camcorder was designed to help you shoot Full HD videos quickly and easily through a number of easy-to-use features. To begin with, the Q10 has eliminated many of the confusing buttons that are typically found on standard camcorders. For instance, you can turn on the Q10 simply by flipping open the LCD screen. Then twisting and opening the LCD screen will automatically set the Q10 to Playback mode. And with the intuitive Smart Touch 3.0, operating such an advanced device like the Q10 has never been easier.
Say goodbye to shaky videos
Don’t risk ruining a once-in-a-lifetime memory due to a shaky hand or an inferior camcorder. To help you avoid this, the new Samsung Q10 HD camcorder comes fully equipped with their unique OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer) Duo feature, an addition that will quickly become your new best friend. The built-in chip automatically adjusts to compensate for even the slightest hand or body movements, resulting in steadier videos. What’s more, the OIS Duo is able to maximize the stabilizing area while minimizing shaking so you can take crisp videos every time—even while you’re walking or moving around.
Easier to use for faster enjoyment
Samsung takes great pride in designing camcorders that not only look great but perform just as well as. Plus, Samsung knows that the key to great performance isn’t just good looks, but how easy the features are to access and use. That’s why the Samsung Q10 comes with the intuitive Smart Touch 3.0 that puts the full power of the camcorder right at your fingertips. A key feature is the “drag & scroll” functionality, which can be found in many of today’s popular smartphones and other mobile devices. This creates a highly satisfying user experience and allows for an easy way to capture all of your precious memories.
The camcorder that adjusts to your surroundings
When you’re shooting, the last thing you want to worry about is adjusting your camcorder’s settings to compensate for varying light conditions or image details. Whether shooting landscapes or family portraits, the Q10’s intelligent Smart Auto feature automatically selects the best shooting mode to capture video and even stills. Smart Auto has 10 pre-set modes to manage a wide number of different shooting situations such as low lighting, portraits, sunsets, and more. No matter what the conditions are, Smart Auto will help you to take the perfect shot every time.
Take full control of your camcorder
Take advantage of all the advanced features on your Samsung Q10 camcorder with its Easy Manual setting. With Easy Manual, you can access the full directory of easy-to-use manual features and settings to turn your vision into a reality. Easy Manual allows you to easily adjust any of the five key menu items (White Balance, Exposure Values, Backlighting, Manual Focus , and C.Nite) through the intuitive interface so they can be calibrated to meet your video shooting needs. Now you’ll never have to make compromises to get the shot you want.
Art Film
With the Q10, you gain access to a variety of creative tools that can completely change the mood of your videos with your own personaltouch. Transform your video into a nostalgic work of art with the B&W color effect or utilize Time Lapse to capture the energy of a city or the serenity of a setting sun.
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.
USB Charging
Simply connect the Q10 to a PC’s USB port, turn on the PC, and your camcorder will start recharging. This intelligent feature gives you the freedom to shoot, share, and recharge from almost anywhere.
