Samsung WB500
Product details
The Samsung-exclusive dual image stabilization is a clever combination of optical (OIS) and digital image stabilization (Fast ASR). Fast ASR, an advancement of the proven Samsung ASR technology, operates four times faster than previous digital image stabilization techniques thanks to a new signal processor. Strategy number two against blurriness: optical image stabilization OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). The camera detects movements caused by the photographer's hand using special gyroscopic sensors. With a corresponding shift of the sensor, the mechanism counteracts blurriness. Even with long exposure times, sharp handheld shots are possible thanks to OIS. Capturing people with the best results has never been easier. Samsung's Perfect Portrait System combines the latest technologies for unprecedented precision in analyzing and exposing portraits. Facial recognition, smile detection, and blink detection work hand in hand with intelligent features like the Beauty Shot mode (automatic retouching of facial skin) or the Red Eye Fix technology (automatic reduction of red-eye flash before and after the shot). Self-portraits are also a breeze thanks to the self-portrait function and Frame Guide technology (angle determination). Say goodbye to cumbersome manual adjustments of monitor brightness! With the new intelligent display, the Samsung camera automatically adjusts the brightness of the LCD monitor to the surrounding light conditions. This way, you always have an unobstructed view of your subject and will never miss a good scene again, as your Samsung camera automatically adapts to the ambient light.
