FEATURES:

  • Whether you’re indoors or out, snapping a landscape or friends around a table, the amazing 24mm ultra wide angle lens gives you a wider shooting range from a shorter distance and more flexibility for a greater variety of high-quality options. Now you have the ability to capture images of beautiful landscapes and entire buildings from a very short distance—not something you can do with a standard 35mm. The 24mm ultra wide angle lens and the 10x optical zoom is a perfect marriage of advanced versatility with the convenience of a stylish, compact camera.
  • Blurry images can be caused by many factors, such as hand shaking, zooming or insufficient light. Dual Image Stabilization eliminates the blur caused by camera shake and delivers clear, crisp images every time, even under difficult lighting situations. Integrating the best lens shifting mechanisms of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) with the sophisticated algorithms of Digital Image Stabilization (DIS), Dual Image Stabilization; another superior Samsung innovation, corrects even the tiniest of shakes.
  • See how the unbelievably compact WB550 hides a 24mm ultra wide 10X optical zoom lens in its thin design. This amazingly versatile lens is perfect for shooting indoors, landscapes and group portraits. The powerful 10X optical zoom brings the action to you so there’s no need to move around. While the ultra wide angle lens enables you to get everything you want in the shot.
  • Taking the perfect photo shouldn’t be left just to the professionals. With Samsung’s innovative Smart Auto technology, your photos are guaranteed to come out perfect every time
  • • Automatically analyzes the shooting situations. Selects from one of the 11 optimized settings from portraits to landscapes. Takes the best photo possible - no matter what the conditions are.
  • HDMI port that used to be connected only by a cradle is now built in the WB550's body itself, making it easy to appreciate images through HDMI. We can see here that user convenience to utilize the camera's functions more conveniently is considered.
  • The Samsung WB550 has a 3.0” LCD for improved contrast and colour reproduction, allowing you to enjoy a wider and clearer image. Also The Samsung IT100 is Intelligent LCD brightness automatically detects environmental illumination and adjusts LCD brightness for optimal imageviewing.
  • Taking a simple snapshot, framing an artful pose, or doing something different has never been easier. You can select from a wide variety of optimized advanced photo effects and know exactly what you’re getting with a suite of preview images to show you the results before you take your shot.
  • Additionally, with the ability to record HD movies with your Samsung camera, you can enjoy recording HD-quality movies of 720p resolution at 30ftps. New video compression technology of H.264 compression format enables more than doubled efficiency compared to the previous format which surpasses the capabilities of a digital camcorder function. So say goodbye to your video camera and transform your living room into a personal movie theater!
  • With a 4GB SD card, your camera can store up to 2,000 7-megabyte photos—that’s a lot to keep track of! But with the Smart Album function sorting and organizing your photos is easy: it allows you to sort your photos by time, content, color. Smart Album lets you get straight to the best or sort through the rest.
  • Imagine be able to compose a photo even before it’s even shot. The world’s first Frame Guide feature on the WB550 has turned that into reality. The Frame Guide feature allows you easily set up the composition of the shot so it can be used as a guide for the photographer. Simply hand off the camera and you’ll never have to be missing from another photo. Now your vacation pictures will come out exactly the way you envisioned them.
  • The camera can effectively reduce possible noises in super speed sensitivity mode for clear images. ISO 3200 super speed sensitivity enables clear quality pictures to be taken even in low light conditions. (ISO supported: Auto, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 (up to 3M)) Super speed sensitivity enables sharply-focused, momentary stop pictures to be taken of moving subjects such as children or people engaged in sports
  • With our unique Perfect Portrait system, imperfect photos are a thing of the past. For example, the Beauty Shot feature is like having your own make-up artist—right in your camera. It automatically identifies imperfections such as blemishes and dark circles on the face, and retouches them so that faces appear brighter and smooth. And with different level settings, you can control the amount of retouching that takes place—it’s that simple! Plus, the ultra-intelligent Smile and Blink detection technologies will never let you ruin another picture-perfect moment again by detecting when the subjects’ eyes are open and their smiles are at their peak.
