10.2 Megapixel Resolution
The NV24HD provides up to 10.2 megapixel resolution resulting in picture quality of unmatched beauty - even at print sizes up to 30 x 40". Additionally, the cameras image processor allows for rich gradation, fast and high quality picture processing.
24mm Ultra Wide Angle Lens
The superior quality Schneider lens produces crystal clear images with a 3x zoom range equivalent to 24-86.5mm on a 35mm camera. The wide angle capability of the lens makes the camera ideal for shooting architectural and scenery shots, plus it is excellent for capturing large groups of people in tight spaces. The camera also has a 5x digital zoom function that combine to offers a total zoom ratio of 15x. Each lens surface is multi-coated to minimize the "ghost" or "flare" phenomenon, and the specially designed combination of aspherical and a low dispersion lens elements prevents all chromatic aberration and distortion.
Record HD-quality Movies & Experience True HD Playback
The NV24HD digital camera can record HD-quality movies with true 720p quality at 30 fps, and the H.264 compression format enables users to record more than double the video clip length for the same amount of available memory compared to previous compression formats without any apparent loss of quality. The NV24HD can play crystal-clear, digital images and HD video on a HDTV for the ultimate slideshows and home movies - all you need to do is connect the camera to an HD display via an optional HDMI cable. What's more, the camera is enabled with Anynet+ technology, so the camera can be controlled using an Anynet+ enabled remote.
Cutting-edge Image Processor
Samsung's latest image processing engine delivers unsurpassed performance for both still image and movie captur, and DRIM's advanced image processing algorithm lets you capture crisp rich color images with exceptional speed virtually eliminating Artifacts and Digital Noise.
Dual Image Stabilization
The NV24HD digital camera has a Dual Image Stabilization system that combines a lens-shift method of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), which compensates for hand shake and other camera movements with a Digital Image Stabilization (DIS), which utilizes the cameras image processor and high sensitivity (up to ISO 3200) to reduce blur caused by movement of the subject or due to low light shooting conditions. Concurrent use of OIS and DIS correction ensures clear picture quality in any shooting condition.
Face Detection Function with Red-Eye Fix and Smile Shot
The Face Detection function detects up to nine different faces, enabling you to take perfect portraits and group shots. In addition to automatically adjusting focus and brightness to optimum levels, this feature also senses and removes red-eye with the auto Red-eye Fix algorithm, allowing you easily take more natural, flattering portrait shots, and without the need for further post-shot image editing on your computer. The Smile Shot mode helps you capture more smiles by shooting automatically when your subject laughs and smiles - so you'll never miss a perfect smile.
Blink Detection
Blink Detection prohibits you from taking a picture while the subject has his or her eyes closed. If the camera detects that the subject is blinking before the picture is taken, it automatically takes three shots in rapid succession to capture a picture while the eye is open.
Self Portrait
Sophisticated face recognition algorithms detect when the subject is well framed in the center of the picture and then indicates when the shot is well framed with an audible beep.
ACB (Auto Contrast Balance) Function
The Auto Contrast Balance function automatically compensates the brightness of objects in challenging light environments to ensure a perfectly exposed image, and provide more natural looking images under backlight conditions, or when there is large brightness difference within the frame.
2.5" AMOLED Display with Smart Touch Controls
The 2.5 inch AMOLED Display produces an amazingly bright and beautiful image with a 180° viewing angle, enhanced color reproduction, ultra-high contrast ratio, and quick near-zero millisecond response time. And unlike standard LCDs, AMOLED display reduces the glare from sunlight so you can see your images under any lighting condition. The Smart Touch user interface makes it possible to quickly navigate and set menu items or view pictures. The unique arrangement of the Smart Touch buttons combined with 2.5 ' Display on the back of the camera enables users to conveniently select and control functions using horizontal and vertical keys, and provides intuitive control over the camera unlike anything seen before.
Attractive Ergonomic Design

Although the camera is less than 20mm thick, the comfortable anti-slip rubberized grip gives the camera a firm feel and makes it easy to steady the camera - even with one hand. Furthermore, the camera's refined details such as contrasting finishes result in an unexpected level of beauty and luxury.
