Up Close and Personal Sometimes you just can't physically get close enough to a subject to get the shot you want. Football
games, parades, wildlife, there is no shortage of situations that call for a good zoom lens.
Samsung's SCD103 digital
camcorder brings you in close to the action with the help of an 18x optical zoom and 900x digital zoom. That means you can
get full resolution out to 18x, and crop in even closer with the powerful 900x digital zoom that can digitally enlarge an
image up to 900x. This hard working zoom lens also gives you the advantage of variable speed control that automatically senses
the amount of pressure that you apply to the zoom tab and adjusts the zoom speed accordingly.
Keeping It Clear Great
video begins with a quality lens, but the quality can't stop there. There are a number of critical elements involved in producing
quality audio and video and they must all work together. One of these is the device that "captures" the images that travel
through the lens. The SCD103 digital camcorder uses a 680,000 pixel CCD for vibrant, detailed video images. Since it's impossible
to keep perfectly still while holding a camcorder, you will appreciate the Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) that minimizes
picture shake so watching your videos doesn't cause motion sickness.
The 2.5" TFT active-matrix LCD monitor gives
you a great view of what you're recording and rotates, which is a huge benefit for shooting at creative angles, or if you
would like to join the scene and still monitor your recording. The bright and beautiful LCD screen also makes an excellent
playback monitor for viewing your videos.
Be Still The built-in digital still camera on the SCD103 features a
photo mode that gives you the ability to save still pictures onto Memory Stick media (sold separately). Use Memory Stick to
store your images or transfer them to your computer. Fast and easy image transfer can also be accomplished using the SCD103's
built-in USB interface. Another still image option exists inside the SCD103. The PHOTO function enables you to record still
images with audio (up to six seconds) onto the camcorder's digital Mini DV tape. These images can also be quickly and easily
transferred to your computer for editing, storing or sending.
Light It Up With Power Nite Pix, you can record
nearby scenes in total darkness using infrared rays emitted from your camcorder. Color Slow Shutter maximizes the quality
of low light scenes by automatically selecting the best settings to make the most of every ray of light. Even brighter images
can be achieved by applying Color Slow Shutter and Nite Pix at the same time. If you want to shed some more light on the scene,
the built-in video light is a handy way to add some illumination and improve the color and contrast of dark scenes. 18x
