Samsung L310W / SL310W

Following the success of Samsung's L series cameras, the stylish L310W features a 13.6 megapixel image sensor, 28mm 3.6x wide optical zoom lens and intelligent 2.7” LCD screen to give clear detailed information. The L310W is a fully featured digital compact camera that delivers the image quality and optical performance demanded by camera users today.

Face Detection

With the Face Detection function, you can now take better portrait pictures with ease. The function is able to distinguish faces from the rest of the background and automatically focus on them. It can then adjust the brightness of the faces so that your portraits come out perfect every time.

Smile Shot

Capturing a smiling subject could make the difference between a good shot and a great one. With Samsung's unique Smile Shot feature, you never have to worry about that again. Like many digital cameras on the market today, they're typically equipped with a face detection feature that properly locates the faces in your picture to help you take the best possible shot. The Smile Shot feature takes that one step further. While in Smile Shot mode, the camera helps you capture more smiles by shooting automatically when your subject laughs and smiles. So, you never miss a perfect smile.

Blink Detection

With the new Blink Detection technology from Samsung, there's a good chance you'll never take another bad picture again. Blink Detection prohibits you from taking a picture while the subject has his or her eyes closed. If the camera detects that the subject is blinking before the picture is taken, it automatically takes two shots in rapid succession to capture a picture while the eye is open. Once the shot is taken, Blink Detection will warn you in the event the subject is blinking again.

Beauty Shot

The quick and easy way for a better-looking you 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 spots 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!

Self Portrait

Samsung's advanced Face Detection technology takes the guesswork out of taking portraits—especially your own. With the convenient Self Portrait function, you'll now be able to easily take perfect self portraits every time. A beeping sound will notify you when your face is properly positioned and it's time to take the shot. The function can even recognize up to three faces so your friends are never left out.

Red Eye Fix

A special red-eye fix algorithm on the camera automatically liminates red-eye from your pictures. You can remove red-eye during image payback, or for even greater convenience, set the camera to automatically detect and eliminate red-eye from your shots as they are taken.

13.6 MP, 28mm wide Angle

Whether you're indoors or out, snapping a landscape or friends around a table, the 28mm 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. The result? 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 28mm Ultra Wide Angle is a perfect marriage of advanced versatility with the convenience of a stylish compact camera.

Advanced Movie

Samsung's new line of digital cameras supports MPEG-4 format and SVGA quality (800x592, 20fps) size for an enhanced video shooting experience like never before. These powerful cameras allow you to edit your movies right on the spot so there's no need to connect with a PC. Plus, the built-in 3x optical zoom lets you get up close and personal without getting in the way.

Dual IS

Blurry images can be caused by many factors, such as hand shaking, zooming or insufficient light. Dual Image Stabilization 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 Stabilization (OIS) with the sophisticated algorithms of Digital Image Stabilization (DIS), Dual Image Stabilization; another superior Samsung innovation, corrects even the tiniest of shakes.

Motion Timer

The Motion Timer function is perfect for taking pictures of you with friends and family. No longer will you need a remote control nor need to rush to get into the right position. The Motion Timer function is able to sense whether or not the subject of your picture is moving so that you can take the best photo possible. Once you've set the Motion Timer function on, pressing the shutter button prepares the camera to start taking pictures. As soon as your subject is ready for shooting and stops moving, the camera automatically takes the picture—it's that simple!

Function Descriptin & Photo Help Guide

The Function Description provides clear and easy to understand descriptions of each setting when you scroll through the camera's menus. This allows you to easily determine which feature is the most appropriate for your shooting scenario. So whether you're a novice or an advanced user, the Function Description will ensure that you'll make the most of the camera's amazing capabilities without leaving you in the dark.

Taking great pictures has never been easier thanks to the built-in Photo Help Guide. As another intuitive feature built into the camera, this guide provides an easy way to help you better understand your camera so taking the best pictures possible is a snap. The Photo Help Guide takes you on a guided tour accompanied by easy-to-follow tips that teach you how to make the most of your camera—regardless if you are a novice or an advanced user.
