Samsung Digimax i6 News Release Summary:
Orlando, FL (February 26, 2006) - Samsung Camera announces the
introduction of the Digimax i6, a revolutionary 6 mega-pixel
digital still camera that features Samsung's exclusive Digimax
Converter software to play movies and MP3 files. The
ground-breaking i6 allows users to enjoy movies, music videos,
television shows and even their favorite music with the added
convenience of a state-of-the-art digital still camera.
"Consumers today demand revolutionary technology while
on-the-go," says Stewart Henderson, National Marketing Manager
at Samsung Opto-Electronics. "At Samsung we strive to develop
cutting-edge technology to provide innovative products that the
sophisticated marketplace desires."
Using the included Digimax Converter software users can easily
listen to their favorite MP3 files or watch their favorite video
content on the large, 2.5-inch color display. The user-friendly
software can seamlessly convert MPEG, AVI, MOV, WMV and ASF
files for viewing on the i6. For music on-the-go, the software
can also convert MP3 and WAV audio files in several simple
steps. The innovative software also allows users to view
subtitles, adjust the screen size and crop and stretch the image
to fit the screen as desired.
At the heart of the i6 is a 6 mega-pixel digital still camera
measuring a mere 3.7" x 2.4" x 0.7" with a 2.5-inch, high
resolution LCD display. For outstanding image quality, the i6
integrates a 3x optical zoom (equivalent to 39-117 mm in 35 mm
format) capability with Samsung's exclusive SHD lens technology.
The Digimax i6 is equipped with Samsung's state-of-the-art
Advanced Shake Reduction (ASR) technology to combat hand shake.
The ASR function provides enhanced image clarity by
electronically compensating for excess hand shake and improving
color in environments lacking sufficient lighting where the use
of the flash is not desirable. With the touch of a button, the
unique technology uses proprietary algorithms to interpret
sharpness and color information to deliver an image that looks
like it has been taken with the flash. As the flash is disabled,
side effects, such as red eye are prevented.
In addition to playing video, the i6 can also make movies using
MPEG-4, the high-compression, high-quality video format. The i6
can record in VGA (640x480) at 30fps, for smoother video and a
bigger view of the movie on LCD and TV screens. For steady
videos, the i6 includes a movie stabilizer function that
automatically detects and corrects minor lateral and vertical
camera movement. For additional control the continuous video
recording function allows the user to pause and resume video
recording at any time, while the built-in movie editing function
allows users to edit video in-camera The i6 features several
special effects functions for creative control in-camera, such
as Color Effect, Highlight, Photo Frame, Negative and Composite
Shot. Color effects include B/W, sepia, blue, green and red.
For crystal-clear images, under various shooting conditions, the
Digimax i6 features 11 scene modes including Night, Portrait,
Children, Landscape, Close-up, Sunset, Backlight, Fireworks,
Beach & Snow and Text Recognition. Text Recognition, a feature
unique to Samsung digital still cameras, allows users to shoot
documents such as books, papers and magazines and then extract
text from the image taken using the bundled "Digimax Reader"
text recognition software.
To ensure the clarity of images regardless of shooting range,
the Auto Macro function automatically adjusts shooting distance
and focus. By using the macro button, users can set the camera
to automatically adjust distance and focus from between 5cm to
infinity. The i6 also includes a super macro mode that enables
subjects to be photographed up to as close as 1 cm.
All Samsung digital still cameras feature a built-in image
editing function allowing users to edit a variety of images
without the use of a PC. The Trimming function can be used to
cut an undesired part of an image and save only the required
part. When short of memory, shooters can use the Resizing
function to recover some of the memory space, by resizing and
saving images in a smaller size. The Rotating function allows
users to rotate an image in the desired direction and save it.
The i6 comes equipped with 45MB of internal memory and comes
bundled with ear buds for MP3 listening, a convenient cradle
charging system and a powerful lithium ion battery.
The Samsung Digimax i6 has an MSRP of $299.99 and will be
available in March 2006.
