» Samsung S1030 Digital Camera with 10 Mega-Pixel
(February 2007)

Samsung launches the S1030, a high
performance camera that scores ten out of ten with its features
which include a 10 Mega-pixel sensor and a 3x optical zoom lens
for pin sharp pictures with every click of the shutter.
The powerful S1030 with its 45MB internal memory capability was
designed for digital photographers who demand outstanding
photographic image quality and sophisticated levels of creative
functionality.
For maximum versatility a mode dial is included to allow quick
setting of 10 shooting modes including special scene modes such
as Night, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Close-up, Sunset,
Backlight, Fireworks, Dawn and Beach & Snow which help to
produce stunning results in difficult lighting conditions by
optimising the camera’s white balance, exposure and other
settings for specific shooting situations.
As well as offering a full auto mode the camera offers a manual
option allowing the more experienced or adventurous user to take
control of the settings for complete creativity. The S1030 also
features six flash modes and auto-exposure bracketing to ensure
that the final photograph is exactly what the photographer
wants.
The camera features a 2.7” LCD screen and allows the user to
record quality movie clips in MPEG-4 format and in one of three
resolutions 160 x 128, 320 x 240 and 640 x 480. Complete with
sound and the option to cut and edit in-camera movies and
hundreds of still images can be taken and stored up to 2GB.
Photographers requiring an instant print capability will
appreciate the S1030’s compatibility when a successful
connection is made between the camera’s USB port and any
PictBridge enabled printer.
For maximum versatility, the S1030 can be powered by an optional
Samsung rechargeable Ni-MH battery system, as well as
available-everywhere AA alkaline batteries, making it the
perfect choice for travellers and power users alike.

Shutter speeds of up to 1/1500 sec
An ISO equivalent of 1600

Movie mode lets users capture video in one of three resolutions,
from 160x128 to 320x240 and 640x480, at up to 30 frames per
second in AVI (MPEG-4) format. Movie stabilization can be
engaged to compensate for unwanted camera movement and subject
blur
A built-in microphone allows a 10-second voice memo to be
