Samsung Takes the Compact and Stylish L-Series to a New Level With the Launch of the L210, L110 and L100 Las Vegas, NV (January 7, 2008) – Samsung is proud to introduce three new models to its compact and stylish L-Series of point-and-shoot digital cameras. The new 10.1 mega-pixel L210 and 8.1 mega-pixel L110 and L100 join the popular lineup and combine a number of features commonly found on higher-priced, more advanced models.
All three additions feature a high-quality, 3x optical zoom Samsung NV
lens and pack a large, 2.5" LCD screen which will automatically
brighten or dim depending on the current lighting situation. For
reviewing and sharing images with others, the L210, L110 and L100 also
include an intuitive Multi-Slide Show. With Multi-Slide Show, end-users
can playback their images using five different slide transitions and
can also have their images set to scroll to the cameras’ preloaded
music or their own favorite MP3 files.
Compact and stylish, the L210 and L110 offer shooters Dual Image
Stabilization, which combines Samsung’s Optical Image Stabilization
(OIS) with Digital Image Stabilization (DIS). When selected, the two
work simultaneously to provide blur-free images, no matter how shaky
the user’s hand may be. For low-light environments and to help minimize
the effect of camera shake, the L100 utilizes DIS to produce sharp,
clear images.
The cameras also feature a number of user-friendly features, including
Face Detection, Self Portrait and Auto Red Eye Fix modes. Face
Detection technology makes taking pictures of family and friends a
snap, as it detects up to nine faces and automatically adjusts focus
and exposure to ensure better composition and image quality. Self
Portrait mode is a unique functionality that takes the guessing out of
taking a self portrait. By utilizing Face Detection technology, the
L210, L110 and L100 automatically detect the user’s face, adjust focus
and exposure, and will only allow a photo to be taken if the subject is
centered in the frame. For enhanced versatility, shooters can remove
red-eye during image playback, or for even greater convenience, set the
cameras to Auto Red Eye Fix to automatically detect and eliminate
red-eye from their images as they are taken.
“The new L-Series models are the ideal choice for consumers in search
of a slim, stylish and feature-packed digital camera,” said Stewart
Henderson, Vice President of Marketing, Samsung Opto-Electronics
America. “With the L210, L110 and L100, consumers have access to a
number of advanced and helpful features, including Face Detection and
Self Portrait modes, the ability to shoot at ISO 1600, image
stabilization, as well as MPEG-4 video.”
Another user-friendly feature of the L210, L110 and L100 is Function
Description. Designed to reduce the intimidation factor of the cameras’
various modes, Function Description automatically provides a brief and
easy to understand description of each setting when scrolling through
the cameras’ menus, helping the end-user determine which setting is
appropriate for their current shooting scenario. The cameras’ Photo
Help Guide is another intuitive feature incorporated into the digital
camera. Photo Help Guide offers the end-user a guided tour of how to
take better images as well as easy-to-follow tips instructing them how
to obtain excellent results.
The L210, L110 and L100 are also equipped with Samsung’s advanced
i-movie mode, which offers users SVGA resolution (800x592), MPEG-4
video and advanced editing controls. By using the cameras’ Successive
Recording mode, users can pause, and then resume filming of video clips
without having to save the clips as individual files. Additionally,
users can operate the cameras’ optical zooms and engage DIS image
stabilization while filming to compensate for camera shake and to
reduce blur.
L210: $269 MSRP – available March 2008
L110: $229 MSRP – available February 2008
L100: $199 MSRP – available February 2008
