“Smart Gesture” —one of the advanced and most accurate user interfaces for touch devices on the market; different sides. You can also easily remove pictures from the library by drawing the letter “X” on the screen with your finger or turning the image over, drawing the letter “O”. Also, this interface allows you to include such useful auto-focus modes as “object tracking” (tracking an object) and one-touch autofocus. Object tracking allows users to focus the camera on a specific object, simply by swiping the screen to highlight the desired area. When the subject is selected, the camera locks the focus and will monitor the subject, even if it leaves the frame.

Using Wi-Fi, the owner can send his photos to an email address using the QWERTY keyboard on the touch screen or by selecting the desired address from the address book embedded in the device. In addition, using the QWERTY-keyboard, you can write the accompanying text to the image sent by e-mail, which is logical.

Samsung's AllShare feature allows you to transfer photos and videos to DLNA-compatible devices, such as high-definition TVs or digital photo frames. In addition, you can wirelessly transfer video in HD 720p format, as well as photos that are compressed for an optimal transfer rate to 2 megapixel resolution. When using Bluetooth 2.0 it is possible to transfer photos to mobile phones that support this type of connection. The image size in this case automatically changes to a resolution of 1024x768.

physical characteristics

Dimensions of the device - 103.7 × 58.3 × 19.6 mm. Hydroforming technology is used to produce the bodies of both chambers (creating the body and its bends in special molds under the influence of water pressure), which makes it possible to achieve smooth rounded shapes without connecting seams. The same technology is used in the manufacture of car cases. This innovation is a small pride of the company - this is the first digital device, the body of which is manufactured using this technology.

Also in the apparatus applied such a design element as a body inclined by 7 degrees, made of steel. Typically, users are faced with a problem: for a high-quality self-portrait or group shot, the camera must be positioned so that you can completely capture the image. Due to the 7-degree tilt, the lens will always be directed to the subject, even if the camera is located on the table. In addition, the shutter button in the models is also located at an angle, instead of the traditional location on top of the camera, which makes the shooting process more convenient and comfortable.
