Samsung SL202 (PL50 in Europe)

Smart Auto (Scene Recognition)

This new camera features Samsung's new "Smart Auto” (Scene Recognition) technology which has 11 optimized picture pre-settings such as Portrait, Night portrait, Macro, Macro Colour etc - helping people take the perfect shot regardless of the conditions.  You can also use these settings when sorting through your photos - making it quick and easy to find all the portraits, outdoor or macro shots you've taken.

Smart Album

The camera also features Samsung's new unique ‘Smart Album' Digital Contents Management system; a program within the camera that significantly reduces the time it takes to find your favourite photos – so it's quicker and easier to store and manage your photo collection. The clever navigation program automatically organizes photos based on the date they were taken, their contents, colour, or themes – so you'll never have an excuse for losing a photo again.

Face Detection

The new range; “Face Detection” locates the subject's face within the frame and automatically adjusts auto focus and auto exposure to ensure better composition and image quality for portraits; in “Blink Detection Mode” the camera will take a series of shots when closed eyes are detected so friends and family are always captured with their eyes open; in “Smile Mode” a picture is automatically taken when smiles are detected and, in "Beauty Shot" mode, facial skin is retouched for a brighter and smoother skin tone.  Samsung's Self Portrait is also included within the SL202– a beep sounds when faces are positioned centrally so you don't have to be behind the camera to take the perfect shot.

The SL202 showcases Samsung's latest Digital Image Stabilisation technology to prevent blurring from handshake when shooting without flash in low light conditions. 

Frame Guide

The SL202 features Samsung's new Frame guide feature which means you no longer need to rely on the technological capabilities of strangers for perfect holiday snaps.   When you use the setting, the camera takes a ghost picture of your desired shot and displays a template when you pass the camera over to someone else - ensuring they take the picture you want them to take.
