Advanced shooting with a compact camera
Use the Samsung SL420's ample 10.2-megapixel capture resolution and 1/2.33" CCD image sensor to snap vivid and detailed photographs, and then easily stow away the compact digital camera in a purse or coat pocket. Great for getting a close view of distant subjects, the SL420 sports a 5x optical zoom. Further, the 2.7" color LCD viewscreen is a versatile tool, giving you a wide, clear view for composing, reviewing, and sharing your digital photos. Dual Image Stabilization combines optical and digital image-stabilization technologies to dramatically reduce image blur. Finally, thanks to the SL420's Smart Auto mode, you can keep all of your attention on the shot and not on fiddling with camera settings. Smart Auto mode automatically selects one of eleven scene modes to optimize exposure settings under any shooting conditions.
The Perfect Portrait system
One of the best things about having a compact point-and-shoot camera is the ability to take pictures of friends and family when you're all having fun. Thanks to the Samsung SL420's Perfect Portrait system, you can take fantastic shots of the human face with confidence. Samsung's Perfect Portrait system combines Face Detection, Smile Shot, Blink Detection, and Red-eye Fix technologies to ensure optimal exposure of faces. Face Detection detects up to nine different faces, automatically adjusting focus and brightness for stunning results. Another Perfect Portrait technology, Beauty Shot even retouches imperfections on your subject's face, automatically! Perfect Portrait settings also allow you to take great self portraits.
Lights, camera . . . action!
A picture may say a thousand works, but nothing captures certain moments — like your kid's first goal, or an otter playing in the river — like video. With its Movie mode, the Samsung SL420 lets you shoot MJPEG video with VGA 640x480 resolution at either 30fps or 15fps, adding another level of versatility to your digital point-and-shoot experience.
