Samsung Adds 5 Megapixel Model To New 'A' Series
Samsung Cameras are introducing a 5 mega-pixel model to their Digimax 'A' Series, the A5, which joins the A6 and A400 models.
Developed for "point and shoot" photographers looking for a solid camera with a full range of features, the Digimax A5 combines a 5 mega-pixel CCD sensor with a Samsung High-Definition (SHD) lens, to deliver fantastic image quality.
Key A5 features include 10 different Scene modes to create the perfect shot easily:
- Portrait, Children, Landscape, Close-up, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach & Snow and Text.
Extreme close-up photography facility:
- The 4cm Macro setting allows close up picture taking for those wishing to explore the artistic properties of surfaces, textures and other subject matter.
Innovative Power Movie Clip function:
- Allows users to shoot high quality VGA movie clips. The Power Movie Clip provides flexibility and creative control in allowing the user to shoot at 30 frames per second to give VGA quality video.
In addition, the A5 also offers the ability to pause, fast forward and/or rewind the video right on the camera
Capturing, storing and sharing images:
- 16MB of internal memory facilitates ample storage on the camera while the SD/MMC slot allows for an additional 512MB of capacity.
- 6 different image sizes, ranging from 640x480 to 2816x2112.
- 3 different resolution settings - Superfine, Fine and Normal, resulting in 18 different image size / resolution combinations, enables the user to select the perfect setting for virtually any situation.
PictBridge Technology:
- Once images are captured and stored, PictBridge technology allows for easy output directly to a printer via a USB connection. Alternatively, the A5 also comes with a comprehensive software suite including ArcSoft Photo Impression, Digimax Viewer and Digimax Reader to enable storage, editing and output via a PC
The A5 is straightforward to use, equipped with an easily accessible wide range of features. It all begins with the highly-intuitive user interface, which facilitates quick access to its advanced functions and capabilities.
The large, bright 1.8" LCD display makes it easy to view the subject during capture and playback, while an innovative new feature allows users to switch between capture and playback modes with just a single touch of the shutter button. The cameras also include a one-touch manual function button that allows more advanced users to quickly and easily switch between fully manual, aperture priority and shutter priority modes.
The A5's image editing capabilities enable cropping, rotating and colour revisions on the camera. With black & white, sepia and RGB colour effects to choose from, the creative possibilities are endless. In addition, the bright, multi-function pilot
lamp on the front of the camera body communicates the camera status to the user and the subject by displaying a different colour to denote the specific function being performed (taking a picture, self timer, image upload, voice recording, etc).
The Digimax A5 is also compatible with three different power sources - including two rechargeable formats (Li-ion and Ni-MH) as well as standard AAs. The Samsung Li-ion battery, I-Pack, provides enough power for roughly 290 shots, while the Samsung Ni-MH enables users to capture up to 350 images. Users can also pick up standard AA batteries for any additional backup.
