A wide range of control
Ultra-wide 24mm Schneider lens. 10x optical zoom. 12.2-megapixel capture resolution. You might think that we're describing a digital SLR, but we aren't. Presenting Samsung's HZ15W digital camera. As you can see, this is no ordinary point-and-shoot digital camera. While the 12.2-megapixel, 1/2.33" CCD image sensor delivers sharp, detailed images, the 24mm lens with 10x optical zoom gives you the ability to compose stunning, spacious shots or to capture distant subjects. Further, manual focus, aperture, and shutter-speed controls lend you a heightened degree of creative control over every shot. Dual Image Stabilization combines optical and digital image stabilization technologies to significantly reduce the image blur that can result from shaky hands, unstable shooting conditions, or low-light situations. Once you fill up the HZ15W's 21MB of built-in memory, you can keep shooting with SD, SDHC, or MMC Plus memory cards (sold separately).
Like we said . . . more than a digital camera
When a still photograph just won't to the moment justice, go looking for your . . . HZ15W. Really? Not only does the HZ15W give you the ability to capture stunning 12.2-megapixel still shots, but it is also capable of recording high definition video! Recording in MPEG4 format, the HZ15W records 1280 x 720p resolution video.
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 HZ15W'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.
