YouTube. The video files recorded can be easily applied to a transfer
program and played on an H.264 supporting MP3 player. The YouTube up loader
in the Media show software bundle enables direct YouTube upload which
bypasses the YouTube home site.
hyper DIS Unstable hands can cause camcorder footage to be shaky and
blurred. Thanks to its advances computational power, it realizes precision
image stabilizing by multi-directional motion analysis unlike most other
digital image stabilizer using bi-directional analysis.
colour as vivid as your memories Digital natural colour processing creates
an expanded palette of colours that are closer to those seen in nature. By
internally adjusting images beyond RGB into 4 colour CMYG spectral colour
matching, the F30 is able to accurately recreate colour that are close to
those your eyes see, closer to your memories, and closer to reality.
the longest battery life With its long battery life, the SAMSUNG F30 allow
you to record, play and have fun for as long as you like. The battery life
gives you an incredible 3 hours of recording freedom, compared to company
A’s 1 hour 10 minutes and company B’s 1 hour 20 minutes, giving you all
the time you need to make memories last a lifetime.
42X Intelli-Zoom with Schneider lens Now you can get close to the action
from a safe distance. The Schneider lens features Intelli-Zoom which allows
you to go beyond the camcorder’s 42X optical zoom without sacrificing
image quality. It’s significantly more reliable than a standard digital
zoom which negatively affects the quality of the image.
2.7’’ LCD display The high resolution 2.7’’ LCD
screen delivers unbelievably clear image quality. Plus, the drastically
improved anti-reflection coating allows for perfect image display quality,
even under the sunlight.
3D noise reduction 3D noise reduction dramatically eliminates noise while
maintaining the original edge and pattern of the image. By analyzing motion
between the frames, the frames are split into pattern / edge frames and
differential frames and passed through separate filters which maintain the
pattern and edge, removing noise. After filtering, the frames are combined
once more to make a cleaner, clearer image.
swivel grip The multi-positional swivel hand grip offers full flexibility
and freedom of movement for the full range of shooting positions. The
innovative swivel grip allows you to seamlessly move the camcorder between
regular and low level positions, giving you completed control over how and
what you shoot.
more recording times, more memories Enjoy recording more of the highest
quality video footage with the SAMSUNG F30. Thanks to the high performing
H.264 Codec, the F30 records more of your memories then camcorders which
use MPEG2. With the same capacity, the F30 record about twice more than
MPEG2 codec. Its compressed video files are faster to email and upload to
the web, which make sharing easy as can be, with no loss of image quality.
Face Detection AF technology Unlike conventional camcorders, the F30’s
advanced Face Detection AF technology targets the face in the screen. With
intelligent face detection auto-focus, faces are always focused-on, even if
they are not in the centre of the screen. SAMSUNG’s Face Detection AF
enables you to capture clearer, higher quality video.
