Twice the stability, twice the clarity

For even the most seasoned of photographers, the steadiness of one's hand can make or break a shot. Whether you're rock climbing and half way up the face when an idyllic landscape shot presents itself, or giddily unstable with excitement as your child blows out their first birthday candle, it's understandable that your hand might be a little shaky. With the Samsung L series L210's Dual Image Stabilization, you're free to focus on the shot and on the moment — and not on steadying your hand — while taking full advantage of the L210's 10.2-megapixel image-capture resolution. Dual Image Stabilization combines two image-stabilization technologies. First, optical image stabilization links the lens to a gyrosensor that works in concert with the camera's microprocessor to compensate for hand shake by applying slight adjustments to the directivity of the light reaching the image sensor. Second, digital image stabilization uses advanced algorithms to continuously picture the image you're shooting twice so that both color and shape information can be extracted. By combining these two pictures to complete your shot, digital image stabilization guarantees a clear image with natural color and minimized hand shake. Go ahead, zip down a washboard dirt road on your moped and snap away!

Okay, everyone, gather 'round

Preserve every nuance of ol' Uncle Merle's goofy grin for generations to come. There's a good chance that you're investing in a point-and-shoot digital camera like the Samsung L210 because you want a slim, portable, high-performance camera for capturing impromptu snaps of friends and family's faces at gatherings. Thanks to Face Detection technology, the Samsung L210 is able to optimize any shot containing a human face. Your subject's face is automatically detected, and brightness and focus are adjusted. When a subject is moving within a frame, their face is detected and tracked, and Auto Exposure and Auto Focus are applied accordingly. Up to nine subjects can be detected at a time to support reliable image composition for portrait and group shots.

Tag in the Photo Help Guide

We all need a little assistance now and again. If a problem is encountered while shooting with the Samsung L210, troubleshooting instructions are provided so that image correction can be easily performed by anyone. Step-by-step instructions are provided through the LCD for your convenience. Additionally, when each camera function is set up, instructions for the corresponding function are provided so that the camera can be operated even by a beginner. Instructions regarding all camera functions such as shutter speed and aperture are also available.

And now for the nuts and bolts

Let's follow each shot from the subject to your camera's memory. First, a Samsung lens with 3x optical zoom and 1.0 - 3.0x digital zoom, as well as macro shooting modes, lets you focus on subjects both near and far. Second, composing each shot (and later editing and sharing them) is easy on the L210's wide 2.5" color LCD viewscreen. Third, a large 1/2.33" CCD image sensor captures your shot when you press the shutter button. From here, you have a wide variety of options for both editing your pictures (fix red eye, resize, rotate, adjust color effect) and storing them — the Samsung L210 features 10MB of built-in flash memory, and supports SD Card, MMC, and SDHC memory cards. From your subject to your digital photo album — clear, colorful shots with the L210, every time.

Shoot stills and video!

One of the best things about a point-and-shoot digital camera is that it lets you snap photos of friends and family, and still be a part of the moment. And making it even easier to customize each shot without fiddling too much with the camera's settings, the L210 sports a wide variety of shooting modes for both still images and video. When shooting still shots, choose between Portrait, Night Scene, Children, Landscape, Text, Close-Up, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, and Beach & Snow for optimal exposure settings under each condition. When shooting video, you can choose to shoot with or without audio, you can select between frame rates (30,20, and 15fps), and you can use 3x optical zoom to catch distant sequences or film close-up scenes.
