Samsung SL30 (ES15 in Europe)

The extremely stylish optical 3x zoom lens, 10 mega pixel digital camera boasts a host of features to make it easier than ever to take high-quality photos.

10.2 Megapixels

High picture quality is obtained by employing an 10.2 mega pixel 1/2.33” high resolution CCD sensor. Clear picture quality can be enough resolution for printing up to poster size. A robust mounted image processor allows for rich gradation, fast and high quality picture processing.

Digital Image Stabilization (DIS)

Thanks to the enhanced sensitivity of Samsung's imaging sensor and Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) technology, you can rest assured that you'll be able to capture beautifully clear images—even in low-light situations. So if flash photography is not an option, don't worry because Samsung's DIS will quickly become your trusted friend.

Beauty Shot

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!

2.5" Intelligent LCD (230K)

The Samsung ES15 has a 2.5” LCD for improved contrast and colour reproduction, allowing you to enjoy a wider and clearer image. Also The Samsung ES15 is Intelligent LCD brightness automatically detects environmental illumination and adjusts LCD brightness for optimal imageviewing.

ISO 1600

The Samsung ES15 has an auto sensitivity feature that automatically adjusts sensitivity according to the ambient exposure conditions up to ISO 1600. The high sensitivity setting of ISO 1600 lets you take clearer pictures, in poor lighting conditions, without camera shake or image blurring.

high quality video recording is enabled by supporting 3x optical zoom, VGA resolution at 640 X 480, and 30/15 fps. Video editing capabilities (Pause during recording, Still Image Capture) enable expression of various images.

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.

Multi Slide Show

With the Multi Slide Show function you can arrange pictures into a slide show, add music and active slide effects to bring out the emotion in your photos—a great way to make a story as you go or share your memories with family or friends!

Red-eye Fix
