Recording HD-Quality Movies of 720p Resolution at 30ftps
With the ability to record HD movies with your Samsung camera, you can enjoy recording HD-quality movies of 720p resolution at 30ftps. New video compression technology of H.264 compression format enables more than doubled efficiency compared to the previous format which surpasses the capabilities of a digital camcorder function.

Smart Album
With a 4GB SD card, your camera can store up to 2,000 7-megabyte photos-that's a lot to keep track of! But with the convenient Smart Album feature, it automatically organises photos based on the date they were taken, their content, colour tones, and themes. You can even browse through your photos by month or by using a timeline. Based on the type of photo you're looking for, you can also search by the photo type, such as portrait, couple, or group. The Smart Album even lets you search for photos that were taken of a city or landscape. Additionally, the Smart Album can automatically sort your photos based on the type of file (photo, video, or voice / memo note).

Dual Image Stabilisation
Blurry images can be caused by many factors, such as hand shaking, zooming or insufficient light. Dual Image Stabilisation 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 Stabilisation (OIS) with the sophisticated algorithms of Digital Image Stabilisation (DIS), Dual Image Stabilisation corrects even the tiniest of shakes.

Photo Style Selector
Taking a simple snapshot, framing an artful pose, or doing something different has never been easier. You can select from a wide variety of optimised advanced photo effects and know exactly what you're getting with a suite of preview images to show you the results before you take your shot.

Frame Guide
Taking photos while on vacation usually has one thing missing you. Introducing the innovative Frame Guide feature that allows you to set up the angle of the shot and compose the photo exactly the way you want it. Now you're ready to hand off the camera to someone else so you can be in the photo. All they need to do is match the preset composition you created that's it.

ISO 3200
The camera can effectively reduce possible noises in super speed sensitivity mode for clear images. ISO 3200 super speed sensitivity enables clear quality pictures to be taken even in low light conditions. (ISO supported: Auto, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 (up to 3M)) Super speed sensitivity enables sharply-focused, momentary stop pictures to be taken of moving subjects such as children or people engaged in sports.
