compact high zoom
Your ticket to a front-row seat
See how the unbelievably compact WB500 hides a 24mm ultra wide 10x optical zoom lens in its thin design. This amazingly versatile lens is perfect for shooting indoors, landscapes and group portraits. The powerful 10x optical zoom brings the action to you so there's no need to move around. While the ultra wide angle lens enables you to get everything you want in the shot.

dual image stabilisation
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 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-another superior SAMSUNG innovation-corrects even the tiniest of shakes.

high definition movie recording
Just like being in the theatres your memories deserve the best
With the ability to record HD movies with your SAMSUNG camera, you can enjoy HD-quality movies of 720p resolution at 30ftps. The Latest H.264 compression format enables more than doubled efficiency compared to the previous format which surpasses the capabilities of a digital camcorder. So say goodbye to your video camera and transform your living room into a personal movie theatre!

Smart Album
A quick and easy tool to help you sort through all your photos
With a 4GB SD card, your camera can store up to 2000 7-megabyte photos-that's a lot to keep track of! But with the Smart Album function sorting and organising your photos is easy: it allows you to sort your photos by time, content, colour, or theme. Smart Album lets you get straight to the best or sort through the rest.

photo style selector
Put a personal touch on your photos
Taking a simple snapshot, framing an artful pose, or doing something different have never been easier. You can select from a wide variety of optimized 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.

high sensitivity ISO 3200
Take high-quality, high-speed photos with our Image Noise Reduction feature
With a true ISO 3200 setting, your SAMSUNG camera can effectively minimise noise for crystal clear images. The super speed sensitive ISO 3200 feature give you the ability to take amazingly detailed photos-even under low light conditions. Plus, ISO 3200 lets you take perfectly focused photos of fast-moving images, like during a sporting event.
