Samsung WB5500 review
Introducing the Samsung WB5500, the ultimate high zoom camera featuring a
26 mm wide, 26x Optical Zoom with Schneider-KREUZNACH Lens. Along with its
14 Megapixel CCD Sensor, the WB5500 boasts an ultra clear 3.0"
Intelligent LCD display with electronic view finder for optimal picture
viewing. Aspiring movie makers can record movies in high-quality HD and
then watch them on HDTV through the built-in HDMI with Anynet+ (CEC). For
even more control, it has Advanced Smart Filter for Colour and lens
effects, Full Manual Control, and supports raw file format so you can
manipulate your files as you desire.
RAW File Support The Samsung converter program gives you the freedom to
edit RAW files - files that contain uncompressed original data and are not
yet processed. Normally, images are processed and compressed into JPEG
files using settings in the camera. But RAW file support gives you free
reign. So whether its colour, exposure difference or resolution, you can
manipulate your images.
Smart Auto 2.0 & Smart Movie Smart Auto 2.0 and Smart Movie apply
automatic camera settings for the best images and movies possible. They
automatically chooses from 17 different still scenes and 5 movie modes and
apply the best shooting condition settings so you get the best possible
images without the additional adjustments.
Smart Album Say you’ve got about 2000 photos stored on your WB5500
and you’re looking for one in particular. You could flip through all
2000 or have the Smart Album feature do it for you. It will actually
organize photos by timeline, contents, colours or theme. This album
isn’t just smart, it’s genius.
Full Manual Control The WB5500 lets you set the aperture and shutter speed
as quick as the world moves. Just the turn of a finger and you can finely
tune the white balance and colour temperature for truer, richer colours and
artistic photos. Flip from Auto Focus to Manual Focus or selection AF. Also
just spin the dial to go right to the photos you want to show off.
Auto exposure management, Smart Range When there are both very bright and
very dark areas simultaneously in the view, Smart Range enables to capture
and display clearer image of both bright areas and dark areas in the same
frame, Bright areas are not saturated and dark areas are not too dark.
Cool effects make every photo unique Samsung’s Smart Filter, lens
effect, delivers an artistic edge to your still shots and videos. The
Miniature filter gives your subjects a miniaturized look, the Vignetting
filter delivers a strikingly strong compositional contrast, and our
Fish-eye filter gives your video that cool distorted feel. So get creative
and get Samsung.
