Product Features- 12.2 Megapixels
High picture quality is obtained by employing an 12.2 mega pixel 1/2.33" high resolution CCD sensor. Clear picture quality can be achieved even for images larger than A2. A robust mounted image processor allows for rich gradation, fast and high quality picture processing. - High Sensitivity ISO 3200
The camera can effectively reduce possible noises in super speed sensitivity mode for clear images. ISO 3200 super speed sensitivity enables clear quality pictures to be taken even in low light conditions. (ISO supported: Auto, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 (up to 3M)) Super speed sensitivity enables sharply-focused, momentary stop pictures to be taken of moving subjects such as children or people engaged in sports. - Frame Guide
Imagine being able to compose a photo even before it's shot. The world's first Frame Guide feature on the WB550 has turned that into reality. The Frame Guide feature allows you to easily set up the composition of the shot so it can be used as a guide for the photographer. Simply hand off the camera and you'll never have to be missing from another photo. Now your vacation pictures will come out exactly the way you envisioned them. - Perfect Portrait System
With the Perfect Portrait system, faces look better. Withunique Perfect Portrait system imperfect photos are a thing of the past. For example, the Beauty Shot feature is like having your own make-up artist - right in your camera. It automatically identifies imperfections such as blemishes and dark circles on the face, and retouches them so that faces appear brighter and smooth. And with different level settings, you can control the amount of retouching that takes place - it's that simple! Plus, the ultra-intelligent Smile and Blink detection technologies will never let you ruin another picture-perfect moment again by detecting when the subjects'eyes are open and their smiles are at their peak. - Smart Album
With a 4GB SD card, your camera can store up to 2000 7-megabyte photos - that's a lot to keep track of! But with the Smart Album function sorting and organising your photos is easy: it allows you to sort your photos by time, content, colour. Smart Album lets you get straight to the best or sort through the rest. - 3.0" Intelligent LCD
The SAMSUNG WB550 has a 3.0" LCD for improved contrast and colour reproduction, allowing you to enjoy a wider and clearer image. Also the SAMSUNG WB550's intelligent LCD brightness automatically detects environmental illumination and adjusts LCD brightness for optimal image viewing. - Built in HDMI
HDMI port that used to be connected only by a cradle is now built into the WB550's body itself, making it easy to appreciate images through HDMI. We can see here that user convenience to utilise the camera's functions more conveniently is considered. - High definition movie recording
Additionally, with the ability to record HD movies with your SAMSUNG camera, you can enjoy recording HD-quality movies of 720p resolution at 30ftps. New video compression technology of H.264 compression format enables more than doubled efficiency compared to the previous format which surpasses the capabilities of a digital camcorder function. So say goodbye to your video camera and transform your living room into a personal movie theatre! - Dual image stabilisation (Optical IS + New Digital IS)
Blurry images can be caused by many factors, such as hand shaking, zooming or insufficient light. Dual Image Stabilisation eliminates the blur caused by camera shake and delivers clear, crisp images every time, even under difficult lighting situations. Integrating the best lens shifting mechanisms of Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) with the sophisticated algorithms of Digital Image Stabilisation (DIS), Dual Image Stabilisation; another superior SAMSUNG innovation, corrects even the tiniest of shakes. - 24mm Ultra Wide, Optical 10x Zoom Schneider Lens
Whether you're indoors or out, snapping a landscape or friends around a table, the amazing 24mm ultra wide angle lens gives you a wider shooting range from a shorter distance and more flexibility for a greater variety of high-quality options. Now you have the ability to capture images of beautiful landscapes and entire buildings from a very short distance - not something you can do with a standard 35mm. The 24mm ultra wide angle lens and the 10x optical zoom is a perfect marriage of advanced versatility with the convenience of a stylish, compact camera. - Compact high zoom
See how the unbelievably compact WB550 hides a 24mm ultra wide 10x optical zoom lens in its thin design. This amazingly versatile lens is perfect for shooting indoors, landscapes and group portraits. The powerful 10X optical zoom brings the action to you so there's no need to move around. While the ultra wide angle lens enables you to get everything you want in the shot. - Photo style selector
