Samsung Digimax S700 News Release Summary:
Samsung is pleased to announce the launch of two new “S” Series
models within its Premium line of Samsung Digimax digital still
cameras. The seven mega-pixel S700 and the ten mega-pixel S1000
are full featured models designed to deliver maximum value,
style and performance for digital photographers of all skill and
experience levels. Offering features useful to the entire
family, both models boast a crystal-clear 2.4-inch LCD and a 3x
optical zoom in both still and movie modes.
“The “S” Series cameras are perfect for everyone from beginners
to advanced digital photographers,” says Stewart Henderson,
National Marketing Manager at Samsung Opto Electronics. “With
the addition of the S700 and the S1000, we have bolstered our
already strong and comprehensive range of digital still cameras.
This, combined with the recent launch of our NV Series, enables
us to deliver products that meet the needs of a diverse dealer
and consumer base.”
For recording movies while on the go, top-of-the-line model
S1000 supports 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 S700 supports MJPEG video recording. The S1000 can
even record more than one-hour of high quality VGA (640×480)
video at 30 fps when using a 256 MB memory card. With VGA
technology, this model provides a larger screen view and clearer
video quality when played on an LCD or TV screen. 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. Both models also enable users to
take advantage of the 3x optical zoom even while in the movie
recording mode.
The S700 and S1000 also feature robust movie clip editing
functions which allow users to be more creative with their
images than ever before. For example, “S” series owners can
select and save a portion of a movie clip during playback and/or
select part of a movie clip to be saved as a still image. All of
this can be done right on the camera, without the aid of a
computer or third party editing software. Also included is
Samsung’s unique successive video function that allows shooters
to pause and resume video recording at any time and merge
multiple video files into one single file.
For crystal-clear images under many lighting conditions, these
models feature seven scene modes including: Landscape, Close-Up,
Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks and Beach & Snow. And, for
the ultimate in creative control the “S” series models also
feature a Special Effects Hot Key, putting several special
effects at the user’s fingertips. These effects include: Color
Effect, offering a variety of colors, including B/W, sepia,
blue, red, green or Negative depending on your photographic
settings; Highlight, which keeps the subject in sharp focus
while putting the rest of the image into soft focus; Photo
Frame, allowing the shooter to choose from nine different types
of photo frames to shoot their subjects in; and Composite Shot
that allows the user to take two-to-four, and save them into a
single file.
For further convenience, 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 20MB of built-in memory, these models allow
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 ‘S” series
also includes various useful functions such as voice recording
for up to one hour, voice memo for adding a short voice message
to a picture and "One-touch Playback" for instant playback of a
picture even when the power is off.
