Beautiful Moment SAMSUNG ST100
I’m introducing the first camera from Samsung in the second half of 2010, the ST100. The ST100 which will take the beautiful moment has more beautiful design than the moment with great functions which have been introduced by Samsung.
It comes with 4 different colors such as violet, gold, hot pink, and black. Except the black one, all colors are very special enough to get an attention of people. The rounded appearance and coated surface by shinny material are really awesome.
It has the inner zoom type optical 5x zoom Schneider lens with 35-175mm of focal length, so it has better length than other inner zoom lenses, and by adopting the 1/2.3” CCD, it supports 14.2M pixels still images and 720p HQ movie recording.
To be honest, before introducing this to you, I didn’t know this existed. When finding out this, we were in shock and made the headline as ‘Hidden Dual Viewer’, even though it was a little old-fashioned.
The front LCD which Samsung officially uses ‘2 View Dual LCDs’ is hidden in the surface and shown up. It keeps the design and colors, but is distinguished from the previous front LCD cameras. The ST100 has the quite big 1.8” front LCD in 100x60x200mm and 135g of body, so it’s convenient for self shots and other additional functions. I was worried that the shinny material of the surface might interrupt the backlight of the front LCD, but it was not a problem like the picture.
The design of the top of the ST100 is noticeable with the 7 degree slanted design which makes self shots more convenient. Especially, the rounded button design, light, and play button supporting one touch play are hidden practice in the design.
It took the self shot by using the front LCD. This camera also supports smile shot function which automatically takes a shot when it detects a smile.
If this great function was difficult to use, no one would use it. However, it’s not in the ST100. Users can just push F.LCD button on the top and select one of the 7 menus. It has 5 useful functions such as Self shot, Children mode showing funny animation to get an attention of children, Couple mode for 2 people, Jump shot, and Smile icon showing smile icon in half shutter to tell you when to smile.
It supports 11.52M pixels and has the 3.5” wide Full HD touch LCD. Most of the touch menus are inactivated to prevent inconvenience. The key icon on the lower side of the screen is only activated, and this is to unlock the hold function, so pushing the button, some menus become available to use.
Let’s me introduce self shot images by using Self Shot option. We have already received the permission to upload these pictures.
Looking at this picture, eyes are looking at the inner zoom lens. It becomes an awkward picture, because this person is not used to self shots.
These 2 pictures were taken by people who know how to set the composition. It looks much better than the previous picture in the eye and angle.
In order to take a great self shot or couple shot, one hand needs to be relaxed. Holding the shutter part, not inner zoom lens, it automatically takes a good picture. This was from a lot of test and holding the inner zoom lens part, the part of a palm between thumb and index filter used to hide the lens. Therefore, users need to remember that the ST100 automatically recognizes the face and the light weight of the camera.
The ST100 has all the functions which have been applied to Samsung cameras and starting model of the second half of 2010. Therefore, by using the 11.52M pixels 3.5” wide full touch LCD, it makes more convenient with additional functions in the operation menu.
Let’s take a look at the composition of the main menu. Some customers thought the main menu is a separate mode which gathers convenient functions, but actually Program mode which allows users to change all the specifications of the camera is the real main menu. The ST100 uses the touch function as much as possible, so it arranges mode icon on the left top, basic icons such as flash, focus and timer below, and on the right side, movement of menu icon and menu icon are arranged and on the lower side, pop up type sub menu is separately located, so it minimizes the necessity to find the menu icon to change the function.
The ST100 has Smart Auto 2.0 which automatically detects the 17 modes and helps take perfect shots. It supports 12 different scene modes and 9 kinds of photo sizes such as 4320x3240 14M pixels, 4320x2880 12M pixels, and 4320x2432 10M pixels. Especially, the 10M allows users to watch images on HDTV and HD LCD monitor as a full screen. It supports ISO 80 to 3200 and ±2 level of exposure compensation with the increments of 1/3.
Among the above pictures, the first 2 pictures were taken without EV and other 2 pictures were taken with -1.30 and -1.70 EV. Actually, it’s really difficult to describe skies well as a compact digital camera, but the ST100 was very good at this. For your information, this type of sky shots have been included in the basic test item, because the sky is the most frequently taken for outdoor shots.

(Without Defog style and with Defog)
The ST100 has Smart Filter function, and in this part 2 kinds of styles have been added. Therefore, Smart Filter is also divided into Smart Lens effect such as Miniature, Vignetting, Fish eye 1/2 and Style such as Sketch and Defog.
For customers living in HD and YouTube generation, the movie recording is more important. Good mobility is also good to have. The ST100 supports 720p HQ HD movie and 320 size movie recording for web sites. It also supports Smart Movie recording by automatically detecting the situations, and for normal movie recording, Smart Filter can be applied. Through the 2 styles of Smart Lens effects, users will have more fun to watch funny movies even in the web sites.
Samsung cameras have advanced portrait functions in the camera by reducing hand blur and making faces more vivid, and this is because portrait shot is the most frequently used. Including Face Detection, the technology to see the change of faces and various options regarding the technology now reached the peak, I think. Social Network is a new paradigm to know others, and it’s also very good reason to use the ST100 after registering faces as My Star. Samsung allows users to find pictures and enjoy them more quickly.
In play mode, including Smart Album, various retouching functions are supported. The important thing in this retouching part is that the original remains and retouched images are stored separately. Therefore, it’s very convenient for users to have both.
Besides, there’s a play mode maximizing the touch function, so pushing your finger to the direction you want, the images taken look like a frame which images come and are rotated.
The ST100 is the first Samsung camera to have the various technologies which Samsung cameras have developed. Especially, the beautiful body line harmonized with the inner zoom and hidden front LCD surprising everyone make up the weakness of the previous front LCD camera. (As a matter of face, in the previous front LCD camera, the front LCD wasn’t fully hidden.)
It also supports Gesture UI, effects, upgraded Smart Filter and Smart Auto 2.0 for users to remember the beautiful moment more beautifully as a Samsung’s beautiful camera.

Samsung introduces new camera and camcorder models
Samsung has continued to strengthen its offerings in the digital imaging industry in recent months, with a number of innovative technologies developed which capitalise on the strength of Samsung Electronics’ integrated technology expertise and company-wide investments in research and development. A primary area of innovation has been Samsung’s dual view (2View) compact digital cameras such as the recently launched ST600 and ST100 models, which give users the chance to capture the fun in front of the camera. Dual view technology is an area of the market that Samsung has real ownership of, since the launch of the pioneering ST500 last year. The technology was inspired by Samsung’s unique insights and understanding of what consumers really want from their cameras, and the company’s ability to provide the best technology to meet people’s desires.
Samsung is also exhibiting its new full HD T10 camcorder, which is being launched during the show. The full HD T10 features a pioneering 20-degree Slanted Lens to ensure consumers can capture their video and photos without users suffering from the sore wrist often associated with camcorder use. The T10 also delivers stylish and affordable portability for capturing and editing video content on the move, with its small form and bright 2.7-inch touch screen. Samsung is also showing users how to connect with the moment through additional digital imaging products, such as the new E10, ST80 and PL90 models, which incorporate innovative connectivity features.
Steve Mitchell, General Manager, Samsung Digital Imaging, commented: “Living smartly and creatively whether you’re at home or on the move is an important part of today’s consumers’ lives and part of the vision we’re developing for our customers at Samsung. A camera is an emotional device that enables users to connect with important moments, when creating, capturing and sharing images. Cameras connect people. We have considered how and where people want to use and enjoy photography in their everyday lives throughout our new ranges and the innovative technology we have been pioneering this year is all on show at IFA 2010.”
2view models – exclusive Samsung offering
The newly-launched ST600 and ST100 feature 1.8-inch revolutionary dual LCD Screen technology, enabling users to capture the fun both in front of and behind the camera, and a 14-megapixel sensor, guarantee crisp and clear images. The products have the added benefit of giving consumers the convenience of accessing key features with a simple tilt or hand gesture, ensuring the easy management of images. Both models are available in four stylish, mood-inspired colours, including hot pink, gold, black and purple, and are encased in a slim and sleek compact frame with metallic finish to deliver a new sense of fun and modern functionality that will ensure users stand out from the crowd.
The new dual view range also comes equipped with high-quality Schneider KREUZNACH lens, supported by optical and digital image stabilisation to achieve blur-free images. While the ST600 combines a powerful 27mm wide-angle focal length with a 5x optical zoom, the ST100 is the first Samsung dual view camera to feature an internal 5x optical zoom, keeping its design optimally chic (35mm focal-length). Both models incorporate innovative functions, including scene recognition technology, which analyses the colour, brightness, motion and subject and then selects the appropriate scene mode for the customer, ensuring great quality images every time.
The ultimate HD quality camcorder experience
The HMX-T10 model – the next generation in compact digital camcorders – encapsulates Samsung’s innovative point-and-shoot, full-HD resolution technology. The pioneering HMX-T10, with its innovative 20-degree Slanted Lens, allows users to handle the camcorder in a way that reduces stress on the wrist to capture special moments in any photography environment and ensure that quality images are captured and recorded through an easy-to-use experience for users.
Further enhancements to the overall recording experience can be found through the HMX-T10’s 2.7-inch Touch Screen LCD and its ability to capture video footage and still images at 4.7 mega-pixels at the same time. The HMX-T10 also features an advanced Back Side Illuminated CMOS Sensor, which provides twice the sensitivity of conventional CMOS sensors, and Optical Image Stabilisation, so that whatever is captured remains blur-free. This innovative feature dramatically reduces image distortion and delivers clear video and images in any light conditions.
Meanwhile the HMX-E10 camcorder features a versatile, 270-degree Swivel Lens, to enable consumers to view and record from just about any angle. The camcorder has the additional built-in USB port feature, which allows users to connect the camcorder directly to any computer without added attachments like a USB cable, so consumers can share important moments wherever they are. The USB connection can also be used to charge the battery on the go. To further enhance the customer’s experience, at the heart of the E10 is a large high-performance 1/3.2 inch CMOS sensor that captures impressive full-HD resolution videos.
Time to share – the well-connected consumer
Both the PL90 and ST80 are examples of Samsung’s continuing commitment to bringing wireless capabilities to the digital imaging world and connecting any moment between a consumer and their loved ones. The 14.2-megapixel point-and-shoot ST80 joins Samsung’s growing line-up of Wi-Fi enabled cameras, representing the third generation of Samsung’s wireless technology leadership and including Samsung’s AllShare (DNLA) connectivity, a 3x optical zoom and large 3.0 inch wide touch-screen with HD video recording.
Not to be outshone, the 12.2-mega-pixel PL90 digital camera, featuring a built-in USB connector enabling consumers to capture images and connect to a computer on the move without the need for additional wires or cords. The USB connector means users can share content with friends and family quickly and easily, with the camera’s plug-and-play capabilities, including the Auto-install intelli-studio software, and instant access to any computer. The innovative features of the PL90 also include Samsung’s new Smart Auto technology, so customers can capture the perfect picture in almost any conditions.
