Samsung Digimax L85 News Release Summary:
Orlando, FL (February 26, 2006) - The new Digimax L85, the
latest addition to Samsung's Prestige line of digital cameras,
is the world's first digital still camera to feature High
Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI). This revolutionary new
feature allows L85 users to share their photos on a high
definition television in their original quality. The
eight-mega-pixel L85 also includes a world renowned Schneider
Kreuznach 7.8?23.44mm lens with 5x optical zoom, a 2.5-inch LCD
display (approximately 230K pixels) which provides the
photographer with a wider viewing angle and a more vivid viewing
display. The stylishly designed camera offers a comfortable
grip, ergonomic design and a sleek black body with silver
accents.
"At Samsung Camera we are committed to providing the consumer
with the latest technology, such as the first HDMI in a digital
still camera, at an affordable price," says Stewart Henderson,
National Marketing Manager at Samsung Opto-Electronics America,
Inc. "By combining our technology with Schneider optics users
can now capture, and then display their photos with breathtaking
clarity."
For the more advanced photographer looking for additional
control, the Digimax L85 provides multiple manual functions at
the user's fingertips. The L85 features three kinds of manual
exposure adjustment including Aperture Priority which allows
more control of depth, Shutter Priority which allows better
capture of fast motion and Manual adjustment which allows users
to set the shutter and aperture themselves.
Along with its many manual functions, the Digimax L85 also has
Continuous Shooting mode for consecutive shots. This model also
includes Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB), allowing users to shoot
a series of pictures with slightly different exposures to ensure
perfect lighting and Auto Focus Bracketing to take several shots
which focus on different elements of the frame to ensure that
the perfect image is captured.
The L85 provides MPEG-4 video compression which allows recording
times that are three-to-four times longer than the standard
digital camera. It has the advanced capabilities to capture
movie clips in VGA (640 x 480) at 30fps and several unique movie
shooting functions, including a movie stabilizer function,
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.
To accommodate any subject matter, the Digimax L85 also features
11 scene modes including Night Scene, Portrait, Children,
Landscape, Close-up, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach &
Snow and Text Recognition. The camera also provides various
user-friendly functions such as My Set shot mode, which allows
the user to save customized shooting settings. A unique feature,
Text Recognition allows the user 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. And, the L85 also includes several special effects
functions including Color Effect, Highlight and Photo Frame.
Faster in operational speed than its predecessors, the Digimax
L85 boasts a speedier booting time and quicker shot-to-shot
speed that reduces down time between pictures. Shooters can take
pictures immediately after the power is turned on, and they can
just keep snapping. The L85 also features an improved Graphic
User Interface (GUI) that ensures faster and smoother menu
navigation. Menu settings can be accessed quickly and with ease,
by using the camera's Move and Set functions. Due to this
camera's high-speed capabilities and a display that notifies the
user of remaining battery power, users can be assured that with
the Digimax L85 they will never miss a beat.
The Digimax L85 is equipped with 32 MB of built-in memory, a
voice recording function and comes bundled with Samsung's
exclusive "Digimax Reader" software.
The Samsung Digimax L85 has an MSRP of $499.99 and will be
available in April 2006.
