Samsung NV3 Overview

The Samsung NV3 Digital Camera is not just a high resolution 7.2 megapixel digital camera with a 3x Zoom lens. It is also a luxurious and practical multimedia device sure to attract the next generation of digital photographers.

Encased in a thin 17.5mm metal body, the NV3 Digital Camera also functions as an MP3 player so that you can listen to music via the built-in stereo speakers or included headphones.

It also includes a Portable Multimedia Player (PMP) so that you can watch downloaded movies. The NV3 also acts as a digital camcorder with MPEG-4 TVD (720x480) @ 20fps & VGA (640x480) @ 30fps, with Auto Gain Control (AGC) technology (to minimize zoom noise during video recording). It even has a text viewer to allow the user to read text on the LCD.

Furthermore, the unit supports multi-tasking which enables you to listen to music while taking pictures, or reading an e-book.

7.2 Megapixel Resolution
The NV3 uses a 7.4 megapixel 1/2.5" CCD, which provides a capture resolution of 3072x2304 pixels. With this high level of resolution, your pictures will have better detail - even at print sizes up to 16x20".
3x Optical Zoom Lens
The 3x Zoom lens enables you to take pictures ranging from a wide to a narrow angle of view, and the camera also has a 5X digital zoom function. When combined, the digital and optical zoom offers a total zoom ratio of 15X.
Slim Design
This Slim Black camera is constructed from stainless steel and is less than 0.7" (18mm) thick. Its clean lines and Samsung's unique blue ring around the lens make this camera an eye-catching accessory to your lifestyle.
Large 2.5" LCD
The 2.5 inch TFT color LCD monitor provides a wide clear screen so that you can easily frame and view your images.
Multifunction Convergence Digital Camera*
The NV3 is not only a great digital camera but also a perfect MP3 player, Portable Multimedia Player, Digital camcorder, Text Viewer, and much more. The NV3 also has stereo speakers built in for a richer sound experience, so you can enjoy movies with realistic sound. Moreover, NV3 has a special audio processing chip delivering 3D audio, and preset audio balance for Jazz, Rock, and other genres providing richer sound.
Advanced Shake Reduction and ISO1000 Sensitivity
The ASR technology prevents the degradation of image clarity and color common to flash photography thanks to an ISO1000 sensitivity. With ASR the effects of camera shake are reduced in lower light conditions. Furthermore, The NV10 has an auto sensitivity feature that automatically adjusts sensitivity according to the ambient exposure conditions up to ISO 1000, and a high sensitivity setting of ISO 1000 enables you to take clear indoor pictures in the dark without camera shake and the resulting image blurring.
Wise Shot Feature
This feature takes the same shot twice, once with ASR and the other with flash. It then compares the results and lets you have the best picture of the two (i.e. flash shot if it is better than the ASR shot, and vice versa).
Multiple Recharging Methods
Recharging can be done using the included 24 pin USB cable, the optional camera cradle or by using an optional external battery charger.
Movie Recording and Editing
The NV3 supports wide format MPEG-4 TVD (720x480) @ 20fps and TV quality MPEG-4 VGA (640x480) @ 30fps, with Auto Gain Control (AGC) technology minimizes zoom noise during video recording. Furthermore, the built-in movie editing function allows simple, convenient movie editing on the spot.
Red-eye Fix Function
The Red-eye Fix algorithm programmed into the camera automatically eliminates red eye in shoot and play modes, allowing you easily take a natural portrait photo.
Scene Modes
The NV3 includes 11 Scene Modes so it is easy for users to obtain the best picture result in a variety of settings. The scene modes provided are Night Scene, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Text Recognition, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach and Snow. In particular, Text mode extends the camera's application potential since you can shoot documents and then extract text from the images taken using the software included.
Includes Digimax Master Software
Digimax Master Software is the all-in-one multi media software solution providing users the ability to download, view, edit and save your digital images and movie files.

* Supports the following Multimedia file formats:
