Samsung TL320 (WB1000 in Europe)

The TL320 model, with a 5x optical zoom and 24mm ultra wide lens, breaks ground in the compact camera category by featuring the world's first 3.0” hVGA AMOLED screen. The organic LED screen out performs conventional TFT LCD screens with better contrast and a brighter screen that really helps when shooting in both bright sunlight and dark conditions.  The 460k pixel packed screen also shows fantastic detail when framing the shot and in playback. 

HD Movie Experience

The 12 mega pixel TL320 includes HD movie capture so people can ‘Pause and Re-record' high definition videos and super sharp movie-quality recordings in one movie clip - a Samsung patented function. The cameras also include ‘Smart Auto' (Scene Recognition) technology: 11 optimized picture pre-settings such as Portrait, Night portrait, Macro and Macro Colour, to help people take the perfect shot regardless of the conditions.

Dual Image Stabilisation

The TL320 integrates Optical and Digital Image Stabilisation into a Dual Image Stabilisation function, providing outstanding quality photos without blur from handshake - even in low light conditions.

Full Manual Control

For the more advanced user who prefers to have more control over camera settings, the TL320 offers aperture priority, shutter priority, as well as full manual shooting modes. Samsung also includes its unique Advanced Picture Mode in the TL320. With Advanced Picture Mode, users can fine tune color tones in their saved images by adjusting the color temperature from 2,800-10,000K, in 100K increments, or by manually configuring the camera's color space shift. 

Face Detection

Samsung's Perfect Portrait System is included within this ultra-compact camera alongside a host of other advanced features; “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 takes 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.

Frame Guide

The Frame Guide setting on the new TL320 means you no longer need rely on the technological capabilities of strangers for perfect holiday snaps. When you use the setting, the camera take 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, with you perfectly placed in it.

Smart Album

The new advanced compact camera also features a new ‘Smart Album' Digital Contents Management system; a contents management program within the camera that makes it quick and easy 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.
