beauty shot
The Beauty Shot feature is like having your own make-up artist-right in your camera. It automatically identifies imperfections such as blemishes and dark spots on the face, and retouches them so that faces appear brighter and smooth. And with different level settings, you can control the amount of retouching that takes place–it's that simple!
face detection
With the Face Detection function, you can now take better portrait pictures with ease. The function is able to distinguish faces from the rest of the background and automatically focus on them. It can then adjust the brightness of the faces so that your portraits come out perfect every time.
self portrait
SAMSUNG's advanced Face Detection technology takes the guess-work out of taking portraits–especially your own. With the convenient Self Portrait function, you'll now be able to easily take perfect self portraits every time. A beeping sound will notify you when your face is properly positioned and it's time to take the shot. The function can even recognize up to three faces so your friends are never left out.
red-eye fix
A special red-eye fix algorithm on the camera automatically eliminates red-eye from your pictures. You can remove red-eye during image playback, or for even greater convenience, set the camera to automatically detect and eliminate red-eye from your shots as they are taken.
digital image stabilization (DIS)
Thanks to the enhanced sensitivity of SAMSUNG's imaging sensor and Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) technology, you can rest assured that you'll be able to capture beautifully clear images-even in low-light situations. So if flash photography is not an option, don't worry because SAMSUNG's DIS will quickly become your trusted friend.
