Samsung Cameras has launched the Digimax V5 five-megapixel digital camera, the latest introduction to its highly successful Digimax V Series range of compact digital cameras.
The Digimax V5 camera features incredibly intuitive ergonomic designs and easy to use controls, allowing even the casual amateur photographer to start taking great digital photos right out of the box.
The V5 offers a number of signature V Series features and technologies, including: Schneider optics, three customizable user profile settings and a super macro feature that lets the user shoot subjects as close as 6cm away in manual mode. Once you've captured the image you want, Samsung's trimming and resizing functions allow you to edit the image right on the LCD - without even connecting to a PC.
The Digimax V5 is the only camera in its class to offer brilliant five?megapixel photos, setting new standards for both price and performance at under £300.
Users can also enjoy a 12x zoom (3x optical, 4x digital), and auto and manual shooting modes.
One of the many features that sets the Samsung Digimax V5 camera apart from its peers is the ability to support nine different power sources including CR-V3 Lithium, AA alkaline, Ni-Mn, Ni-Zn, Ni-MH, Ni-Cd, SRB-1437 or SBP-1103 rechargeable Li-Ion batteries, and an AC adapter.
The Digimax V5 allows users to add 10?second audio captions to still images, record audio to accompany their movie clips and record up to 2 hours of audio alone, depending on the capacity of the memory card in use.
The convenient shooting mode dial allows users to easily choose from multiple shooting modes including easy, program, portrait, night scene, movie clip, voice recording and A/S/M (aperture, shutter, and manual).
An easy to use 4-way key and OK button allows users to navigate the options menu and provides quick and easy access to a variety of features including flash, self-timer, MIC and metering. The brightness level of a vibrant, 1.5" color TFT LCD monitor on both models is adjustable to ensure easy viewing and reviewing of images in any lighting conditions.
The "My Set" function allows the user to personalize their camera like never before, by choosing up to 9 different camera settings such as image size, quality and ISO and saving them in a customized profile. By allowing the user to create up to three different "My Set" profiles, the Digimax V5 camera provides the ability to be ready to shoot superior quality images in any conditions at the touch of a button.
The start up image on the LCD can be customized, allowing the user to choose their favourite photo as a personal start page. The V5's "Quick Play" feature allows users to immediately review single images, thumbnails, slide shows and movie clips at the touch of a button - without having to power up the camera first.
The V5 features single, continuous and auto bracketing shooting modes. With the high-speed auto bracketing feature, 4 ~ 1/2,000 frames per second can be captured with different exposures.
The V5 supports multiple file formats, including TIFF, JPEG and DPOF for still images, as well as AVI (MJPEG) for movie clips and WAV for audio files. It also has a host of valuable software to make viewing, editing and sharing images easy - including Digimax Viewer 2.1.
The V5 offers multiple language support including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Korean, Russian, Portugese, Swedish, Danish, Dutch and more. It comes equipped with a full complement of accessories, including a stylish carrying case, USB cable, NTSC/PAL video cable, and applications and software driver CD-ROM and a wrist strap.
