Change the way you capture and share your world with the SMART CAMCORDER Camcorder. Its Live Broadcasting feature lets friends and family see what you’re recording in real time, while Home Monitoring allows you to keep an eye on your house whenever you're away. Tap into other Wi-Fi capabilities such as AllShare Play, MobileLink and Social Sharing to send videos to your HDTV for a spontaneous movie night, to your mobile phone for instant back-up, and to a host of social networks. There’s also Smart Auto and Face Detection, which help you create incredible images worth sending. And whether you’re right-handed or left-handed, the Switch Grip II makes recording, sharing — or recording while sharing — a comfortable experience.

Live Broadcasting
Can’t wait to share an amazing moment? Now you don’t have to. Live Broadcasting lets you broadcast your recording — while you’re recording — via USTREAM. Friends and family can see what you see on their laptops, tablets, or smartphones in real time, without having to wait for you to upload your video. Whether you’re hiking, sightseeing or taking in a concert, share the fun as you capture it.
* Live Broadcasting videos will not be saved on to the camcorder.
All Live Broadcasted videos will be loaded on the Ustream server for up to 2 hours.

Home Monitoring
The SMART CAMCORDER is useful even when you leave it behind. That’s because you can use the SMART CAMCORDER as a home monitoring system that wirelessly streams to your smartphone. Check on precious baby while at work, monitor your house when you’re out shopping — or see just what the dog does when you leave him alone. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with being able to keep an eye on your home when you need to.

Wi-Fi connectivity (Auto Backup, MobileLink, AllShare Play, Social Sharing)
The SMART CAMCORDER is jam-packed with wireless capabilities. Auto Backup lets you wirelessly transfer photos and movies to your PC, while MobileLink allows to you send an image — or an album of pictures — directly to an Android smartphone, no cable needed. You can also use AllShare Play and a Wi-Fi connection to stream your videos to your HDTV. And since not everyone can be in your living room, use Social Sharing & Email to share must-see images and videos with your family, friends and favourite social networks.

Auto Backup
Wirelessly transfer photos and movies to your PC or Mac. Simply choose AutoBackup and you’re all set. All your photos and videos are transferred wirelessly and safely stored on to your computer. Feel free to delete photos from your camera knowing there’s a duplicate set on your computer.

Switch Grip II (Vertical Recording)
One thing lefties and righties can agree on — the streamlined and compact Samsung SMART CAMCORDER with Switch Grip II was made for both. Because no matter in which hand it’s held, the camcorder’s LCD screen will adjust to ensure that the picture is shown right-side up. More comfortable shooting while holding the camcorder vertically? Good news: you can rotate the LCD screen 90º, and the image will remain right-side up. Shooting video from difficult positions has never been easier.

20x Optical zoom (40x Digital-zoom)
Lightweight and compact, the Samsung SMART CAMCORDER goes wherever you go. It also features a Schneider Kreuznach lens with 20x Optical Zoom (40x Digital 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.

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