With its 24 mm Ultra Wide, 5X optical zoom Schneider lens and the groundbreaking 3.0" intelligent AMOLED display, turning memories into instant masterpieces is a whole lot easier.

You're ready for the big screen.
Turn your best shots into an ultimate slideshow. Just one HDMI cord is all it takes to connect your WB1000 to your HDTV, delivering crystal-clear, high definition digital images. Plus with Anynet+ technology built in, you can control all the action from the couch with just one remote.

Capture more of your life.
The WB1000 comes with 12.2 mega pixels and the world-renowned Schneider-KREUZNACH HD Optics Lens for incredibly clear, rich and accurate colour reproduction. It combines a 24mm ultra wide angle lens with a 5x zoom, letting you can fit more in frame while delivering a deeper perspective.

Seeing is believing.
The WB1000's sleek 3" AMOLED display with hVGA resolution provides darker blacks and true bright colour thanks to the 10,000:1 contrast ratio. It also reduces the glare from direct sunlight, so you can easily view your images in any condition, while consuming less power then a LCD backlight display.

Touch complete control.
Great shots have to be caught in a split second. With a whole new approach to manual control, the Smart Control Dial lets you set the aperture and shutter speed as quick as the world moves. Just the turn of a finger and you can finely tune the white balance and colour temperature for truer, richer colours. The spin dial also lets you quickly flip from Auto Focus to Manual Focus or directly to your photos.

A true two in one camera.
The WB1000 has the ability to record your movies in HD-quality of 720p resolution at 30 ftps. The latest H.264 compression format enable more then 3x the recording time compared to the previous format, surpassing the capabilities of a digital camcorder.

Perfect photos made easy.
Samsung's innovative Smart Auto makes your photos come out perfect every time, no matter what the condition. The scene recognition technology automatically chooses from 11 settings like Portrait, Night, Backlight, Landscape and White, finding the right setting for the perfect image.

Twice the technology for crisp, clear images.
Blurry images can be cause by many factors, such as hand shaking, zooming, or insufficient light. Dual Image Stabilization correct your images by combining two forms of advanced technology; Optical Image Stabilization and Digital Image Stabilization. Together, the tiniest blurs are corrected, and your images come out clear with crisp detail.

Easily sort through your photos.
Samsung's Smart Album automatically organizes all your thousands of photos based on date, content, colours, themes, and file type. You can even browse through your photos by month or timeline, or by photo type such as portrait, couple, or group. Smart Album makes keeping track of your pictures easier and more convenient.

Perfect Portrait system.
With our Perfect Portrait system, imperfections are automatically corrected. First Beauty Shot automatically retouches and identifies imperfections such as blemishes and dark circles. Smile and Blink detection detect eyes and smiles on your subjects. Plus, Self Portrait and Red-Eye Fix recognize and automatically fix and position faces in your camera frame.

Mini dashboard.
The WB1000's mini dashboard lets you check the battery life as well as how much space is left on your memory card. So when you're ready to shoot, you know the WB1000 is too.

High sensitivity ISO 3200.
With a true ISO 3200 setting, the WB1000 effectively minimizes noise for crystal clear images, and perfectly focuses photos of fast moving images. Plus, the super speed sensitivity ISO 3200 gives you the ability to take amazingly detailed photos-even under low light conditions.

Frame Guide.
The WB1000's Frame Guide allows you to set up the angle of the shot and compose the photo exactly the way you want it. Now you can set up your frame, and let someone else take the picture exactly as you want it.

Recycle Bin.
After deleting your photos, the WB100 leaves every shot in a temporary file called the Recycle Bin, allowing you to access images that were accidentally deleted.
