The Natural Choice for Better Images. With built-in features such as Dual Image Stabilization, Face Detection and Auto Contrast Balance, taking blurring or poorly lit images is a thing of the past. The L210 even makes taking self-portraits a snap! In addition, these cameras boast SAMSUNG's Advanced Movie capability for those times when taking a picture is just not enough.

perfect image
A high picture quality 10.2 mega pixel mounted CCD.
The 10.2 mega pixel 1/2.33" high resolution CCD sensor allows for a high quality picture. Clear picture quality can be achieved even for super size images larger than A2. A robust mounted image processor enables rich gradation, fast and clear high quality picture processing.

3x optical zoom lens
Equipped with a 3x optical (34-102mm at 35mm) inner zoom lens supports impressive picture expression. The mounted inner zoom lens allows for a slim design and efficient operation. This results in enhanced usability and portability. The multi-coating on both sides of all lenses effectively prevents chromatic aberration and distortion and achieves outstanding picture quality.

dual image stabilization
Perfect combination of optical and digital correction of hand-shakes.
With lens-shift method Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), hand shakes are completely controlled without image degradation in poor light conditions. Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) is implemented in image processing speed and picture quality. The concurrent use of OIS and DIS ensures you clear picture quality in any shooting condition.

face detection function
Face detection optimised for portrait shots.
Under backlight conditions and when there is a difference in exposure between a subject and its background, a subject's face is automatically detected, and brightness and focus are automatically adjusted for optimal shots. When a subject is moving within a frame, it is automatically detected and tracked and Auto Exposure (AE) and Auto Focus (AF) are applied accordingly. Up to 9 subjects can be detected at a time to support reliable image composition for portrait and multiple subject's shots.

intelligent 230K pixel 2.5" LCD
Great luminosity achieved through automatic adjustment of brightness based on light conditions.
Brightness is automatically adjusted and corrected to prevent reduced luminosity of the LCD that can occur as result of strong sunlight. Brightness is also automatically adjusted to prevent unnecessary battery consumption when pictures are taken in low light conditions and the LCD is clearly visible.

ISO 1600 support
With Images Noise Reduction function, clear picture quality can be obtained at high sensitivity.
The camera can effectively reduce possible noises in super speed sensitivity mode for clear images.ISO 1600 super speed sensitivity enables clear quality pictures to be taken even in low light conditions. (ISO supported: Auto, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600) Super speed sensitivity enables sharply-focused, momentary stop pictures to be taken of moving subjects such as children or people engaged in sports.

advanced movie mode
Powerful video recordings with MPEG-4 SVGA Quality (800 x 592) resolution. Ultra high quality video recording is enabled by support of the 3x optical zoom, SVGA quality resolution at 800 x 592(20 fps), and VGA/QVGA resolution at 640 x 480 / 320 x 240 (30 / 15 fps). With Audio or without Audio (user selectable, recording time: Max 2 hours) 3X Optical Zoom, Mute during Zoom Operation Movie Editing (Embedded): Pause during recording, Still Image Capture.

self portrait
Accurate exposure and focus for self portrait shots.
Using the face detection function, a beeping sound notifies the user when a face is located in a specific area. This function improves self portraits. The function can also recognise up to 3 faces so enjoy taking pictures with your friends.

function description and photo help guide
Instructions on the camera functions for beginner.
If a problem is encountered during shooting, troubleshooting instructions are provided so that image correction can be easily performed by anybody. Step-by-step instructions on how to use the camera are provided through the LCD for the user's convenience. When each camera function is set up, instructions for the corresponding function is provided so that the camera can be operated even by a beginner. Instructions regarding the entire camera functions such as shutter and aperture as well as shooting are available.

shooting mode
User-oriented shooting mode from photography to multimedia functions.
- AUTO. P Mode: After the brightness distribution in a shooting scene is measured, the exposure and focus are automatically adjusted (P Mode: user-controllable).
- M Mode: The shutter speed and aperture can be manually specified by the user for professional image expression.
- DUAL Mode: A shooting mode intended for low light conditions where optical and digital correction of hand-shake are employed. Photo Help Guide Mode: Instructions on the camera functions for beginners.
- Portrait Mode: A shooting mode intended for portrait shots.
- Scene Mode: Shooting data for 10 different situations are available for a professional shooting experience.
Video Recording Mode: Ultra high quality video recording at SVGA resolution (800 x 592, 20 fps).

5-level of sharpness, contrast and saturation adjustments
Optimal adjustments for best image expressions.
Based on shooting environments, the clarity, contrast and saturation of pictures can be adjusted at 5 levels.
The brightness, contrast and saturation of pictures can be adjusted at the time of playback.
Sharpness: The basic clarity of pictures can be specified (adjustment of image pixels). Contrast: The difference between brightness and darkness can be adjusted (adjustment of a tone)
Saturation: The intensity and faintness of colours can be adjusted (adjustment of colour distinction).

AEB or exposure correction function
Image brightness control is supported by adjustment of the exposure measured by the camera. When the measured exposure data is not accurate, pictures are taken automatically based on the exposure range specified by the user. The function controls the shooting exposure based on the exposure measured by the camera according to the user's selection.
AEB(Auto Exposure Bracketing): It automatically shoots darker or brighter pictures, according to the exposure standard measured by automatic exposure stage shooting. Exposure correction: Enables darkness and brightness to be controlled in relation to the exposure measured, by using the +/- buttons.

ACB (Auto Contrast Balance) function
Automatic adjustment of contrast through measurement of darkness and brightness. ACB will adjust when the objects are dark, and background bright. The contrast of the object area will be automatically modified into proper brightness. Observe more natural portraits under the backlight.
When there is a large difference in brightness within the frame, natural correction occurs.

auto macro capability (for up to 5cm proximity)
Macro shooting for close up shots. The camera incorporates an auto macro and micro modifying function which avoids the need to switch to micro-shooting when in macro mode. Auto Macro supports a 5cm to infinity range in wide mode, and a 50cm to infinity range in tele mode. The camera can express images of small subjects including flowers and insects by super macro 4cm shooting.

white balance selection
White Balance and User-defined Settings. During shooting, actual colour expressions of an image may vary depending on the colour temperature of light sources such as sunlight, fluorescent and tungsten. Based on these various light sources, a predetermined colour temperature is selected for natural expression of images.

colour effect function
Various expressions of images through colour adjustments. Images can be expressed in various colours through editing of shooting and playback settings. 8 colour effects (Normal, B&W, Sepia, Blue, Red, Green, Negative and Custom): shooting and playback settings. Image colour editing for playback (Colour Filter, Shaded, Elegant, Add Noise).

11 scene modes supported
Optimal scene settings based on situations that allow professional shots.
Based on situations, shooting data such as exposure, colour and contrast can be easily set up by anybody for professional shots.
11 modes supported: Portrait, Night scene, Children, Landscape, Text, Close-up, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach & Snow.
