Samsung's new ultra slim PL121 gets it right every time with its dynamic Dual Display featuring a 2.7" back and 1.5" front LCD display. It boasts a powerful 5x optical zoom lens, and provides a variety of fun features such as Smart Filter 2.0, Smart Auto, and Magic Frame. Digital Image Stabilization eliminates blur caused by camera shake and delivers crisp images every time while 14 megapixels allows your photos to come out clear and detailed. Add 720p HD movie recording and this camera has every feature you’ll ever remove need.

Dual LCD Displays
With both a 2.7" intelligent LCD on the back and a 1.5" LCD on the front, you can see your self-shots perfectly before taking them, and view them with the convenience of a larger touch screen. An easy access top-side button allows quick power on/off of the front LCD screen and quick select between still and movie modes as well as between shooting modes. Self Portrait allows your camera to auto-detect faces and smiles and snap pictures instantly; Children Mode keeps small children’s attention with built in animation and sound.

Get a whole new view
Get more from your lens, whether shooting a memorable landscape or the gang’s reunion around a restaurant table. By using the precision-cut PL121 26 mm wide-angle lens, with its 5x optical zoom, you instantly cover a whole-horizon field of view. Now, you can now capture full-scale memories of landmarks and landscapes, entire wedding parties and the tallest skyscrapers.

Smart Filter
Samsung’s Smart Filter lens and colour effects deliver an artistic edge to your still shots and videos. The Tilt & Shift Lens Effect gives your subjects a miniaturized look, the Vignette Camera Effect delivers a strikingly strong compositional contrast, and our Fish-eye Effect gives your video that cool distorted feel. Its colour effects, and Sketch and Defog, can add an expressive layer or an ultra-Vivid vibe to your shots.

Magic Frame
The unique Magic Frames provides fun and unique predefined templates that you can select, and places your captured image into the background, combining them into one image, creating a one-of–a-kind effect. Making a poster or a fun postcard of you with friends has never been easier with the Magic Frame capability.

Smart Auto 2.0 and Smart Movie
Smart Auto 2.0 and Smart Movie apply automatic camera settings for the best possible images and movies. The camera automatically chooses from different still scenes and movie modes, applying optimal shooting settings for each situation, without additional adjustments.

High Definition Movie Recording
The PL121 artfully combines a professional-grade still camera with a compact HD video camera. You get 720p HD quality video at 30 frames per second. Use the 5x zoom to get up close and vividly personal.

Smart Face Recognition
The PL121 isn't just smart in design. With its Smart Face Recognition technology, the PL121 creates brilliance with every snap. By knowing up to 20 of your friends and family, it automatically focuses on them first, making sure the most important subjects are always in crystal clarity. And since the PL121 never forgets a face, you can also browse more efficiently by the people you've registered.

Perfect Portrait System
With our unique Perfect Portrait System, you can get beautiful portrait shots in every condition and moment.

Object Highlight
The PL121’s new Object Highlight feature manages and adjusts image backgrounds so every face appears crisply front and center. It works just like a digital single lens reflex camera to put the emphasis on the portrait.
