Samsung today unveiled the latest additions to its 2View
camera portfolio, the 14.2 mega-pixel ST600 and ST100. The ST600 and ST100 are offering consumers a stylish design,
a full-range of smart features and of course Samsung's dual
LCD technology.
The new flagship models of the Samsung 2View camera family,
the ST600 and ST100 each received an upgrade to their front
LCD screens, activated by a simple tap, which now measure
1.8" compared to the 1.5" front LCD screens found on their
2View predecessors. With larger front LCD screens, the ST600
and ST100 make it easier for consumers to properly frame
themselves in their photos and videos and be part of the
action by stepping out from behind the camera and joining
friends and family in front. The Samsung 2View ST600 and
ST100 are also available in four colors, including pink,
gold, black and purple, and are encased in a slim compact
frame with a metallic finish .
The Samsung 2View ST600 and ST100 come equipped with
high-quality Schneider KREUZNACH lenses, which are supported
by Optical and Digital Image stabilization. The ST600
combines a 27mm wide-angle focal length with a 5x optical
zoom, while the ST100 is the first Samsung 2View digital
camera to feature an internal, 5x optical zoom, which keeps
the design optimally chic (35mm focal-length).
The new ST600 and ST100 feature Samsung?s Smart Auto (Still
& Movie) scene recognition technology. With Smart Auto
(Still & Movie) selected, the ST600 and ST100 take the guess
work out of taking a great photo or video. Smart Auto (Still
& Movie) analyzes key elements of the composition of the
image such as color, brightness, motion and subject and then
selects the appropriate scene mode which will produce the
best results.
Additional features offered by the cameras' front LCD
screens include a self-portrait mode, a couples mode which
will automatically snap a photo when it detects two faces
tilted toward each other, a children's setting which will
play a cartoon animation with sound to encourage young ones
to smile for the camera, and a self-timer which provides a
visual countdown so that everyone posing for a photo knows
exactly when to smile. The newest feature incorporated into
the front LCD screen is Samsung's jump mode. When set to
jump shot mode, the front LCD will provide a visual queue to
those in front of the camera to jump in unison, and
immediately trigger the ST600 or ST100 to take three
consecutive images to help users capture an image that
freezes their subjects in mid-air.
The ST600 and ST100 also incorporate Samsung's Smart Gesture
User Interface (UI) which allows for the quick access and
use of key features with either a simple tilt or a hand
gesture. Users can quickly scroll through photos by slightly
tilting the device in either direction, swiping their finger
across the screen, or by selecting the appropriate photos
for a slide show.
