Its H.264 format also allows you to record twice as much as an MP4 and four times more than an MJPEG - the format used in many other digital cameras -and delivers much higher video and sound quality. With the TL210-HDMI connector, you can watch your HD videos with any HDTV or HD monitor.
Twice the technology for crisp, clear images.

Blurry images can be caused by many factors, such as hand shaking, zooming or insufficient light. Dual Image Stabilization eliminates the blur caused by camera shake and delivers clear, crisp images every time - even under difficult lighting situations. Integrating the best lens shifting mechanisms of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) with the sophisticated algorithms of Digital Image Stabilization (DIS), Dual Image Stabilization - another superior Samsung innovation - corrects even the tiniest of shakes.

Cool effects make every photo unique.
Samsung's Smart Filter, lens effect, delivers an artistic edge to your still shots and videos. The Miniature filter gives your subjects a miniaturized look, the Vignetting filter delivers a strikingly strong compositional contrast, and our Fish-eye filter gives your video that cool distorted feel. So get creative and get Samsung.
