Features

Untitled Document

Take better portraits: If you enjoy taking portraits, you’ll love the Samsung S860 digital camera. Face tracking automatically adjusts focus and brightness to perfectly capture your subject. And the smart self-portrait feature lets you know when your face is in the center of the picture.

8.1 megapixels: This camera captures photo-quality, 300dpi images up to 8.2” x 10.9”, and good-quality 200dpi images up to 12.2” x 16.3”. That’s plenty of sharp resolution to capture the finest details, crop creatively and produce beautiful enlargements.

Zoom: The 3x optical zoom lens brings you closer to the action— without sacrificing resolution. The 3x digital zoom picks up where optical zoom leaves off, stretching pixels to make the image look bigger.

2.4" LCD display: This display features enhanced contrast and color reproduction, as well as a large size that makes it easy to adjust settings, compose shots and share images.

Digital image stabilizer (DIS): This DIS system bumps up the camera’s sensitivity to light (ISO speed), helping you to shoot in low-light conditions. You’ll be able to use faster shutter speeds—useful if you plan to take fast action shots. You can even take pictures in low light without using a flash, which guarantees brighter and more natural pictures.

Face tracking: This camera identifies faces in a frame, and then adjusts focus and exposure settings to ensure that you take beautiful portraits of your subjects.

Self portrait feature: No more off-center self-portraits! Using face detection technology, this camera will detect your face and use sound to let you know when it’s in the center of the image.

Built-in help features: This helpful camera describes functions, modes, icons and other features in easy to understand terms. There’s even a guided tour of how to take better images—easy-to-follow tips help you obtain excellent results.

Scene modes: Choose your mode, and this camera automatically adjusts settings such as shutter speed, flash and focus to adapt to the scene conditions. This camera features 11 modes, including children, landscape, close-up and more.

Movie mode: When a snapshot just isn't enough, you can record VGA-quality MJPEG movies, with audio, at a smooth 30 frames per second.

Memory: This digital camera comes with 11MB of internal memory. Get the most out of your camera by adding a 512MB or larger MultiMediaCard or SD/SDHC memory card. How much memory do you need? Click here to find out.

Manufacturer's description

Samsung S860 8.1-Megapixel Digital Camera – Blue

8.1 megapixels, 3x optical zoom
The Samsung S860 is a high resolution digital camera that is equipped with a true-colour filtered 8.1 mega-pixel CCD. This allows the Samsung S860 to produce even better images and take detailed photos for printing up to poster size. In addition, the Samsung S860 has a 3x optical and 3x digital zoom giving 9x total zoom when combined.

Face Detection AF & AE
With the Face Detection AF & AE function, the Samsung S860 enables the user to take better portrait pictures more easily. The function detects faces and automatically focuses on them; the brightness of the faces is adjusted optimally for beautiful portrait pictures.

DIS (Digital Image Stabilization) function
DIS technology prevents the degradation of image clarity and colour which is sometimes found in flash photography. With DIS the effects of image blur are reduced in lower light conditions. You can even take well exposed, sharper pictures in low light conditions without using a flash at all, which guarantees brighter and more natural pictures.

Self Portrait
Using the face detection algorithm, the camera provides a confirmation notice through sound, if the face is detected within the certain area. Normally, it is difficult to position the face in the center of the image while taking a self shot. Now, it is easy to take a self shot using Self Portrait.

2.4” Intelligent LCD brightness
The Samsung S860 has a 2.4" LCD with improved contrast and colour reproduction for easy image framing and reviewing.

11 Scene Modes
You have a choice of scene modes to help you get the perfect shot in any situation. By automatically adjusting the camera's setting according to the situation, you can be sure of getting great pictures effortlessly. The scene modes provided are Children, Landscape, Close-up, Text, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach & Snow, Night and Portrait.

Function Description & Photo Help Guide
Provides a brief description of the main functions and different modes the camera has to offer. The different icons, scene modes and other features are described in simple and easy to understand terms to improve the interaction between the user and camera. Take a guided tour of how to take better images. Easy to follow tips instruct the user how to obtain excellent results.

Like it a lot.

Like it a lot. The picture come out very well. The video quality is good if you are in a well lit room. If you use it in the dark the videos wont turn out at well. If you plan to use this to take lots of videos and super fin pictures be sure to get at least a 1gb memory card. The built in memory is very small and will only take 2 seconds of video and 2 super fine pictures.

Very good camera for those quick snapshots. High quality pics and easy to use. Good size for the pocket. Macro closeups a little difficult to get right. Burned thru two Duracells pretty quickly. Will use Lithium next time. Looking to buy another formy son to take ot college.
