The camera's High Definition Multimedia Interface and Consumer Electronics Control (HDMI) delivers crystal-clear images and movies via a single cable. Users can now experience their pictures on a big-screen LCD or plasma with superior HD quality. The NV24HD even comes with a remote control for use with compatible Samsung TVs – so you can control your photos as you watch them on the big screen.

Full Experience HD

Crystal-clear, digital images that can be viewed on a HDTV for the ultimate slideshow via a single HDMI cable. What's more, the NV24HD is enabled with Anynet+ technology, all you need is one remote to take control of the action.

24mm Ultra Wide Angle

Whether you're indoors or out, snapping a landscape or friends around a table, the 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. 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 24mm Ultra Wide Angle is a perfect marriage of advanced versatility with the convenience of a stylish compact camera.

2.5?AMOLED

AMOLED technology has come of age with this amazing, bright and beautiful display. A wider 180° viewing angle, enhanced color reproduction, ultra-high contrast ratio, and quick near-zero millisecond response time are just some of the many advantages of this new, thinner, and better screen. Unlike standard LCDs, the bright 2.5” AMOLED screen reduces the glare from sunlight so you can see your images under any lighting condition. Add to that reduced image blurring and a broader color spectrum, and you'll wonder why you ever considered an LCD screen in the first place.

Dual IS (Dual Image Stabilization)

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.

Face Detection

The NV24HD has a built-in Face Detection feature that detects up to nine different faces, enabling you to take perfect portraits of friends and family. In addition to automatically adjusting focus and brightness to optimum levels, this feature also senses and removes red-eye.

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.

Multi-charging system

With Samsung's unique multi-charging system, traveling has become even easier. With a single charging USB cable kit, SAC-47kit, you can conveniently charge the camera via any electrical outlet, your laptop or desktop computer.

Auto Contrast Balance (ACB)

The new Auto Contrast Balance automatically compensates the brightness of objects in challenging light environments (i.e. backlight conditions) to ensure a perfectly exposed image.

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 three 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.

Red-eye Fix for natural, flattering portrait shots

A special red-eye fix algorithm on the camera automatically eliminates 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.

Self Portrait

With new face-detection software, the camera lets you know when you're in the picture with a beep. So say goodbye to the difficulties that taking your own picture used to be, and say hello to great photos on the first try. Sophisticated face recognition algorithms eliminate the tedium of taking shots you do not like or can not use by making sure that your subject is well framed in the center of the picture and then letting you know it's time to take your best shot.

Function Description

The Function Description gives you quick, clear descriptions of each icon and function on the camera. 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.

Smart Touch

Navigating complicated menu systems is a thing of the past! The brilliant Smart Touch user interface makes accessing menu functions and reviewing your images an absolute pleasure. This unique touch-sensitive system gives you easy, intuitive control over the camera, and the large 2.5" LCD gives you a great view every time.

Photo Style Selector

You can select from a wide variety of optimized advanced photo effects and know exactly what you're getting with a suite of preview images to show you the results before you take your shot.

Multi Slide Show
