Anaheim, CA (February 20, 2010) – Samsung Electronics America, Inc., a market leader and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, proudly introduces the 10 mega-pixel TL500, a high-end compact digital camera designed specifically for today\u2019s advanced and enthusiast photographers. The new flagship of the company\u2019s compact digital camera family, the new TL500 incorporates a full-range of advanced features, including a high-performance imaging sensor and one of the brightest lenses ever featured on a compact camera \u2013 a 24mm ultra?wide angle Schneider KREUZNACH, f\/1.8. The TL500 will be on display during PMA 2010, February 21?23, in the Samsung booth, #2227, in the Anaheim Convention Center.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the TL500, Samsung further differentiates its lineup from the competition and achieves yet another milestone in the industry,\u201d said Mr. SJ Park, CEO of Samsung Digital Imaging Company. \u201cWith ultra-wide angle capability and unparalleled speed, the TL500\u2019s lens offers a new level of versatility allowing the user to be more creative and take better pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n
High-Quality Optics and Images<\/p>\n
The Samsung TL500 is sure to turn heads thanks to its ultra-wide, f\/1.8 Schneider lens \u2013 one of the brightest ever featured on a compact digital camera. The impressive f\/1.8 lens offers photographers a wider range of aperture steps and shallow depth-of-field, giving them the ability to blur out the background of their images while maintaining focus on their subjects. The ultra-fast, f\/1.8 lens also allows users to take better photos in low-light environments as more light is passed through to the new high-performance 1\/1.7\u201d CCD sensor. Larger than the sensors typically found in compact digital cameras, the TL500\u2019s 1\/1.7\u201d CCD offers unrivaled sensitivity (max ISO 3200\/full-resolution). Together with Samsung\u2019s re?engineered and fast, DRIMeIII imaging processor, the TL500 captures high-quality images, regardless of the lighting environment.<\/p>\n
The high-end Schneider lens offers a 24mm, ultra-wide focal length and 3x optical zoom. Much wider than traditional compact cameras, the TL500\u2019s 24mm ultra-wide angle lens allows photographers to capture more of a desired scene, such as beautiful landscapes and large groups of friends or family. For blur?free images, the TL500\u2019s lens is also paired with Samsung\u2019s Dual Image Stabilization technology.<\/p>\n
Versatile Display Enhances the Viewing Experience<\/p>\n
Composing and reviewing images on the TL500\u2019s three-inch, swiveling AMOLED screen is a pleasure. The rotating AMOLED display will allow photographers to precisely frame their images the way they want and shoot from just about any angle, including overhead or low?to?the-ground shots. Compared to the traditional TFT-LCD found on most digital cameras, the TL500\u2019s AMOLED provides users with a higher contrast ratio, deeper blacks and more accurate, vivid colors, even when viewed from an angle or in direct sunlight. The TL500\u2019s AMOLED display is also more efficient when it comes to power consumption, allowing photographers to maximize battery life and shoot longer on a single charge.<\/p>\n
Multiple Shooting Options<\/p>\n
The TL500 supports RAW and gives enthusiasts full control over their images thanks to its shutter?priority, aperture?priority and full Manual shooting modes. When using these settings, shooters can experiment with features such as slower shutter speeds and depth?of?field; however, for those who prefer ease-of-use over manual controls, the TL500 also offers Samsung\u2019s Smart Auto 2.0 (Still & Movie) scene recognition technology. Applicable for video recording (640×480 \/ 30fps \/ H.264) and taking digital stills, this intelligent feature analyzes the scene and then automatically selects the appropriate settings for the best results possible. Using this mode requires minimal effort and does not sacrifice image quality for simple operation.<\/p>\n
