Click to take a 360-degree QTVR tour of the Digimax V50 The Samsung Digimax V50 is a palm-sized five-megapixel digital camera that features a superior Schneider multi-coated 3x optical zoom lens for clear and natural looking pictures. The camera can be powered by various kinds of power sources; Li-ion rechargeable (included), two AA type (alkaline, NiMH, NiCd, photo lithium) or CR-V3 (one-use or rechargeable.) Your pictures can be framed on the high resolution 2.0-inch color LCD monitor that tilts and swivels or by using the optical real image viewfinder. This compact Digimax V50 is also easy to carry around, weighing less than six ounces without batteries. The Digimax V50 can be used in Easy mode like a simple point-n-shoot, allowing anyone to capture beautiful digital photographs. It also features advanced exposure modes such as Program AE, Shutter-speed priority, Aperture priority, Manual, AE Bracketing, Portrait, Night Scene and three customizable MySet modes. The user can adjust the ISO sensitivity, the white balance, image sharpness, image size, image quality, exposure compensation, exposure metering mode and color effect. The Digimax V50's auto focus system is fast and accurate and in low light conditions it's enhanced by a focus-assist illuminator. The user can also manually adjust the focus when desired. The Super Macro mode allows you to focus on objects as close as 6cm from the lens. In addition to high resolution still images, the Digimax V50 also records motion video with audio at 640x480 or 320x240 at 30fps/15fps, the length is limited only by the amount of available memory. You can record and attach 10-second voice memos to still images or use the camera as a digital voice recorder with a maximum recording time of two hours. Pictures can be resized or trimmed (cropped) in-camera without need of a PC. Post-capture editing can also be accomplished with the bundled software that includes the Digimax Viewer and MGI's PhotoSuite.
