Schneider-KREUZNACH lens with 10x optical zoom
The high-quality optics in this Schneider-KREUZNACH lens delivers crystal-clear images with every shot, and the 10x optical zoom gets you up close and personal with incredible detail. The bright F2.8 lens offers even resolution from the center to the edges. For more natural-looking pictures, each lens surface is multi-coated to minimize the "ghost" or "flare" phenomenon and make sure you get your best shot. Plus, a slim, efficient design makes the mounted inner zoom lens easier to use and carry.

dual image stabilization
Twice the technology for crisp, clear images. 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.

smart ablumn

But with the Smart Album function sorting and organizing your photos is easy: it allows you to sort your photos by time, content, color, or theme. Smart Album lets you get straight to the best or sort through the rest.
