The WB1000 lets you capture more of what you see -- just the way you see it. Go fully automatic or use the easy intuitive manual controls. This is the camera that will take the guesswork out of perfection. With it’s 24mm ultra wide angle Schneider lens and 5x optical zoom, the WB1000 lets you go wide and close without sacrificing detail or sharpness. Now turning memories into instant masterpieces is a whole lot easier.
Capture More Of Your Life
You already have the eye. Now all you need is the camera to capture the world exactly the way you see it.The WB 1000 comes with the world-renowed Schneider HD optics for incredibly clear, rich and accurate color reproduction. It combines a 24mm ultra wide angle lens with a 5x zoom. Letting you can fit more in frame while delivering a deeper perspective. And the 12.2 mega pixels provides the sharp, crisp detail to reveal all kinds of things. Including what a great photographer you are.
Seeing is believing
Even under direct sunlight you can see your images in AMOLED screen which reduces glares from sunlight. Also you’ll see darker blacks and True Colour brightness thanks to the AMOLED’s 10,000:1 contrast ratio. The clear, sharp display looks great from any angle. And you get all of this without an LCD backlight – so it consumes less power. Go ahead, show off your masterpiece on the large , sleek 3” screen with hVGA+ resolution.
Touch complete control
Great shots have to be caught in a split second. With a whole new approach to manual control, the WB1000 Smart Control Dial lets you set the aperture and shutter speed as quick as the world moves. Just the turn of a finger and you can finely tune the white balance and colour temperature for truer, richer colours and artistic photos. Flip from Auto Focus to Manual Focus or selection AF. Also just spin the dial to go right to the photos you want to show off. This dial isn’t just smart, it’s brilliant.
You’re ready for the big screen.
Don’t just share your best shots. Turn it into an ultimate slideshow. Just one HDMI cord is all it takes to connect your WB1000 to your HDTV. Expect crystal-clear, high definition digital images. And with Anynet+ technology built in, you can control all the action from the couch with just one remote. Add the optional cradle accessory and the most complicated thing you’ll have to do is dim the lights.
Drop a few pounds.
If you prefer still shots to movies but want to leave your options open (and leave your camcorder at home) the WB1000 is right for you. You’ll get 720p HD quality video at 30 frames per second. And a recording time that’s 3.5x longer than MJPEG video. You even can use the 5X optical zoom to get up close and personal. You can even pause your recording. You’ll give up nothing, except carrying around that extra camera.
Just what you had in mind.
You see the image you want in your head. You point the WB1000. And Smart Auto sees it too. This scene recognition technology actually chooses from 11 different settings ranging from landscape to portrait automatically. Then adjusts for the perfect shot. Whether it’s catching your friends on a night on the town or a waterfall off a mountain. What you get is exactly what you had in mind. Plus all the credit.
Shake, rattle or stroll.
Even the tiniest shake can ruin your shot. The WB1000’s Dual Image Stabilization solves that. Samsung has combined the revolutionary technology of their ultimate Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) mechanism with the advanced algorithms of Digital Image Stabilisation (DIS). Giving you sharp images no matter the condition. Whether it’s low light, zooming or just a case of plain old shaky hands, your photos come out sharp and clear.
Lost. And then found.
Say you’ve got about 2,000 photos stored on your WB1000 and you’re looking for one in particular. You could flip through all 2000 or have the Smart Album feature do it for you. It will search and find photos just the way you want. Go straight to that shot you took whether it was last week or last Friday. You can search by color ton, or even by file type. So no matter how many memories you have crammed onto your memory card, getting directly to the one you want is a no brainer.
The camera loves you.
Nobody has a bad side with WB1000’s Perfect Portrait system. Sure it fixes red-eye, but this next generation face detection technology even detects blinking. So you’re always sure eyes are open and smiles are bright. In addition it evens skin tones, erases blemishes and removes dark circles. And with different level settings, you can control how much retouching you do. Not that your friends and family need any.
Recycle bin
Accidents happen. But now that shot you didn’t really mean to delete is saved in the WB1000’s Recycle Bin. You can rest easy, because every shot is automatically stored in a temporary folder just in case you have second thoughts.
High Sensitivity ISO 3200
Nobody likes low-light noise. And with the WB1000 you won’t get any. Its ISO of 3200 delivers crystal clear indoor shots even in low light and sharp details on fast moving objects. So turn down the lights and have some fun.
Frame Guide
Not everyone takes pictures as well as you. Until now. The WB1000’s Frame Guide let’s you set up the shot you want. Then just hand it off to a friend and your frame guide is there to follow. All you have to do is smile.
Mini Dashboard
Battery dead? Memory full? The action won’t wait. Your Mini Dashboard lets you check the battery life as well as how much space is left on your memory card. So when you’re ready to shoot – you know the WB1000 is too.
