Samsung Electronics has introduced a new DV300F camera from its popular 2View range. The company continues to strengthen its market leadership by introducing the latest in 2nd display capabilities and Wi-Fi support for those users who want to take quality photos and share them with friends.
The Samsung DV300F digital camera, based on the successful 2View technology, has an additional 1.5-inch LCD display on the front panel. Users can now be confident in the composition of their shots, even if they are shooting a self-portrait, t.k. You can easily see yourself on the front display as in a mirror.
But the 2nd display doesn’t stop there. Kids Mode allows you to play a fun animation with sound that’s sure to get the little ones attention. Self Timer mode gives photographers time to get into the right position by watching the countdown on the front display.
Samsung has developed the DV300F to meet users’ needs for creativity and instant sharing of images. The camera allows users to email captured photos or instantly upload photos and videos to Facebook, Picasa, Flickr and YouTube.
Photos can also be transferred to a computer using a wireless connection. The camera also supports cloud uploading to Samsung AllShare Play and Microsoft SkyDrive, which lets you store your precious photos on a remote server and then share them with friends and family.
For buyers who appreciate the appearance of the device and sophisticated design, the latest model is available in several color options: smoky black mock black , silver silver , silver with dark blue navy and silver with a red appearance red .
The camera’s smooth body surface and rounded shape catch the eye and ensure ease of use. All these refinements don’t come at the expense of picture quality. In contrast, the Samsung DV300F is equipped with a 16 Mpix sensor, 25mm wide-angle lens with 5x optical zoom, which allows you to take clear pictures even at a great distance.
The DV300F comes with a host of advanced features to make shooting fun. Magic Frame mode gives you 12 fun background templates and lets you create “poster” style photos that look great on the wall of your room. Picture-in-picture feature allows users to put one image into another.
Impress your friends even more by combining a still image with a movie and uploading the resulting clip to YouTube or social networking sites. You can also transfer files from your camera to other Wi-Fi enabled devices like a Samsung smartphone , even if you don’t have an Internet access point.
Split Shot lets you combine three frames into a single photo for a really cool shot. Photos for this can also be imported from other cameras. The Funny Face function lets you add fun effects to faces in photos: “Goofy grins, comical noses, or even crazy eyes. The feature supports 8 shooting modes.
New Artistic Brush option instantly overlays any frame or video with a black and white or color effect. Show off your creative shots directly on the camera’s display or upload them to social networking sites or YouTube so as many friends as possible can see the photo or new user profile picture.
In addition to all this, the DV300F is equipped with Motion Photo, which allows the user to capture shots in the style of Hollywood blockbusters by freezing time around the moving subject. For example, you can take a photo of a friend in a jump, leaving the people around him completely still, like statues.
