Get closer with 18x intelli-zoom
The Samsung HMX-S15 series' premium Schneider Kreuznach HD lens comes with a 18x intelli-zoom (15x optical zoom) to get you closer to the action. The lens is fitted with Smart O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabiliser) to ensure that images are always captured with 100% integrity.

Innovative BSI CMOS Sensor
The Samsung HMX-S15 series uses a 1 / 2.33'' 10M Pixel BSI (Back Side Illuminated) CMOS Sensor to deliver double the sensitivity of conventional CMOS Sensors, dramatically reduced image noise and distortion, and enhanced recording quality even in low light conditions.

Super Storage, Speed & Security
The Samsung HMX-S15 series uses a 32GB SSD (Solid State Drive) to achieve its phenomenal performance. SSD is smaller, lighter, faster, and use less power than HDD. Resistant to shock and vibration, efficient in extreme weather conditions, and with low heat and noise emission, they guarantee reliable recording and secure storage for the duration of their extended lifetime. And with a SDHC Slot you can add even more storage.

3.5'' WVGA touch LCD screen
With its huge 3.5'' WVGA (1152K pixel) touch LCD screen, the Samsung HMX-S15 series allows you to interact with the bigger picture. With its 1.1Megapixels resolution, images are displayed with a depth of clarity and colour that allows you to experience a clearer point of view.

Professional movies made your way
Take control of your camcorder's functions with Manual Control. Automation can be convenient, but it may not be right for every situation or environment. Manual Control allows you to professionally adjust the focus, exposure and shutter speed. With the Samsung HMX-S15 series, you can shoot videos just the way you like them and achieve brilliant results.

Record at super speed
Recording at 600 frames per second, the Samsung HMX-S15 series captures every aspect of even the fastest-moving image. Video is captured at 600fps, and played back at 20x lower speed, ensuring that not a moment is missed.

Smart O.I.S.
The Samsung HMX-S15 series has an improved Smart OIS (Optical Image Stabiliser) that ensures the steadiness and stability of every moment. Minute lens shifts compensate for shaky hands and body movement, guaranteeing that every image is presented to perfection.

Record the passing of time in HD
Time-Lapse recording enables an event such as sunsets or cloud passing by in the sky that takes hours to be captured and condensed. Still frames are taken at preset intervals and then put in sequential order to create an HD video file that depicts the passing of time.
