Whether you’re taking a self-portrait in your living room or posing with friends on vacation, the new PL151 gets it right every time. Its dynamic Dual Display feature lets you see the shot on the 3.0" 230k TFT LCD and 1.5" Front LCD before taking it, so you can smile for the camera and be the photographer at the same time. The PL151 can even automatically frame and take the shot for you, capturing the moment perfectly. And say goodbye to tripods; its Tilt-back body was also designed with taking the ultimate self-portrait in mind. Factor in its Smart Auto 2.0 feature that uses scene recognition to make sure you get the photo you’re imagining, and you have a surefire memory maker in your hands.

Easier than Ever to Get a Great Shot
Who needs a professional photographer when you have the PL151? With a Dual display 3.0" LCD there’s an easier way to take perfect self-portraits. Using a 1.5" Front LCD, users can see their self portrait before they take it. And with a quick button on top, users can easily access front LCD functions like: Self portrait (Still & Movie), Couple shot and Children mode. Also, don’t miss any of the photographic action with "Jump Shot" inside the Self Timer function (Still & Movie) giving users a heads up before snapping 3 consecutive motion shots.

Stylish Design with 7° Tilt-back Body
The subtle infusion of color in the body of the PL151 compliments your style while the innovative Tilt-back body makes it easier than ever to take self portraits without the use of a tripod.

The simple way to go pro.
Turn any moment into a perfect memory. And a professional-looking photo. Whether it’s a few friends from last night’s party or the moon reflecting off the lake, Smart Auto 2.0 (Still & Movie) instantly analyzes key elements of your composition then automatically adjusts to capture the perfect shot with multitude of different photo modes and movie modes. And since life isn’t a still life, the camera’s object tracking feature captures those subjects that just don’t, or won’t, stand still.

Get more out of your lens
Whether you’re indoors or out, shooting a landscape or friends around a table, the PL151’s 27mm wide angle 5x Optical Zoom lens gives you a wider field of view. Capture images of beautiful landscapes, entire wedding parties and skyscrapers without having to back up to get the shot.

Record movies in the palm of your hand
The PL151 is like having a compact HD video camera that also takes professional-grade photos. It records HD video in 1,280 x 720p resolution at 30 frames per second. Its H.264 format also allows you to record twice as much as an MPEG-4 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.
