Samsung Launches Its First 7 Mega-Pixel Camera - packed with features and power
Samsung are introducing the V70, a powerful 7 mega-pixel camera, to their successful 'V' series range. Set to retail at under £350, the V70 joins the V50, V6 and V5 also available in the series.
Designed for the more advanced photographer, the V70 is packed with stunning features in a stylish metal body and combines a 7 mega-pixel resolution CCD with an extendable optical zoom function.
Key V70 features include:
7 mega-pixels:
- This level of resolution enables the user to capture a fantastic level of detail in all shots
Rotating screen:
- The large built-in 2.0" (117,000 pixel) TFT LCD screen allows users to rotate the screen by up to 270 degrees - great for self-portraits or shots from unusual angles. The screen can also be rotated to adjust the LCD visibility when in bright light conditions
Extreme close-up photography and extendable zoom facilities:
- The 4cm Macro setting allows for high precision close-up shots
- The optional wide-angle SCL-W3755 conversion lens has a 0.7x magnification, widening views by up to 27mm (35mm equivalent) and allowing subjects to be shot as close as 1cm
- The optional telephoto SCL-T3755 conversion lens with its 1.7x magnification increases zoom by up to 1.7x. Both lenses can be mounted onto the Digimax V70 for a wider range of picture taking opportunities
15x Image Zoom:
- 3x optical zoom and a further 5x digital zoom to give 15x total zoom. The Schneider Kreuznach lens produces crystal clear images
Poster-Size Printing capability:
- The high definition CCD allows printing to poster size with great detail. Coupled with an on-camera trimming function and PictBridge direct printing, this can remove the need for a PC
Video Function:
- With its MPEG-4 high-compression file format, the V70 can record up to 3 or 4 times longer than MJPEG, the usual format for DSC movie clips. The Digimax V70 can even be used as a camcorder, as it supports more than 1 hour of video and audio recording time if you are using a 256MB memory card
10 different Scene modes to create the perfect shot, easily:
- Portrait, Children, Landscape, Close-up, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach&Snow and Text
For more advanced users, the Digimax V70 also has manual picture-taking functions. The camera has detailed focus control with Manual Focusing. It also enables manual control of exposure using Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and fully manual options. Exposure may be controlled by the easy to use Jog Dial in conjunction with an AE Lock function.
The Digimax V70 can use 9 kinds of power meaning the user never has to worry about running out of power. The exclusive 1400mAh Li-ion battery, enables users to take up to 440 images on one charge. This feature provides greater flexibility for photographers who use the continuous or burst modes.
The Digimax V70 has an RGB Colour Effect control menu. Users can use this menu to set their own colour preferences for a given shot. Users can also adjust image sharpness in 3 steps and select photographic effects, such as B&W and Sepia.
The Digimax V70 provides a variety of useful functions such as a My Set Shot Mode for snapshot, voice recording for up to 1 hour, voice memo to record short voice messages onto pictures and one-touch playback even when the power is off. Even the menu can be customized to suit the user.
The Digimax V70 provides a substantially quicker transfer rate with USB 2.0 as compared to existing USB 1.1. The PictBridge function of the Digimax V70 allows pictures taken by the camera to be directly printed without PCs, so users can immediately get clear 7 mega-pixel prints by directly connecting the camera to a printer supporting the PictBridge function.
