Samsung Digimax L60 News Release Summary:
Orlando, FL (February 26, 2006) - Samsung Camera announces the
introduction of the new Digimax L60. Part of the Prestige line
featuring sleek designs and user-friendly advanced features, the
L60 features a 3x optical zoom SHD lens, a 5x digital zoom and a
large, 2.4-inch color LCD display.
"The Prestige line is perfect for the step-up user who desires
high-quality optics but with easy-to-use features," says Stewart
Henderson, National Marketing Manager at Samsung Opto-Electronics.
"And, after extensive market research we developed a sleek,
ergonomic body design with features such as MPEG4 video
recording in a compact package."
The Digimax L60 offers MPEG-4, the high-compression,
high-quality video format that can record for up to 3-4 times
longer than traditional video formats commonly used in other
digital cameras. The L60 can record in VGA (640x480) at 30fps,
for smoother video and a bigger view of the movie on LCD and TV
screens. For steady recording, the built-in movie stabilization
will automatically detect and correct lateral and vertical
camera movement caused by the shooter's unsteady hand. Users can
also take advantage of the camera's unique movie shooting
functions, including a movie stabilizer, continuous video
recording, improved in-camera video editing and the ability to
use the 3x optical zoom while recording. Movie stabilizer helps
reduce camera shake by automatic detection and correction of
lateral and vertical camera vibrations, while continuous video
recording allows the shooter to pause and resume video recording
at any time and merge multiple video files into one single file.
Users can also save a selected part of a movie clip into a new
file during playback and capture a still image during video
playback.
The L60 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 shooting fast-moving subjects, the L60
includes Continuous Shooting mode and Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB),
a feature that will shoot a series of images with slightly
varying exposures.
For crystal-clear images under various shooting conditions, the
Digimax L60 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.
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.
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.
Equipped with 32MB of built-in memory, the L60 allows shooters
to save pictures without a memory card, while the Copy to Card
function allows users to seamlessly transfer images saved in the
internal memory to external memory. The L60 allows includes
helpful features such as voice recording for up to one-hour,
voice memo and "One-touch Playback" for instant playback of an
image, even when the power is off.
The Samsung Digimax L60 has an MSRP of $299.99 and will be
available in April 2006.
