The Samsung S860 Digital Camera is a user friendly point and-shoot digital camera with a compact and stylish design that features 8.1 megapixel resolution combined with a sharp 3x zoom SHD lens for stunning pictures. The camera also provides a number of useful features including Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) to help minimize the effect of camera shake and produce sharp, clear images, especially in low-light environments, and advanced automated features such as Face Detection, which can locate up to nine faces in a frame and automatically optimize focus and exposure to ensure best overall portrait and group shots possible, and the Self Portrait mode, which uses face detection to make taking self -portraits easier
For further convenience and ease of use, the S860 has been loaded with 11 scene modes to choose from, including Night, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Close-Up, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach & Snow, and Self Portrait, so users of any skill level can capture the best image possible in any setting. The camera provides even further assistance by including a Function Description feature that automatically displays 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.
After shooting, the "E" (Effect Key) button on the S860 provides the user the ability to quickly access special effect functions including color effects, highlight adjustments, photo frames and composite shot functions. Furthermore, the 2.4" Color LCD provides superb contrast and color reproduction for easy image framing, editing and reviewing.
