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.

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.
