Smart Features

The PL90 features Samsung’s new Smart Auto (Still & Movie) technology which enables consumers to capture the perfect picture in virtually any conditions. The intelligent Smart Auto function automatically adjusts the camera’s mode to instantly match the shooting environment. Whether the shot is being taken during the day or at night, in portrait or landscape, simply activating the capture button will ensure a beautiful and perfectly tailored image.

The innovative PL90 also features Samsung’s Perfect Portrait System which includes several modes to help users take better photos. With the Self Portrait function, users can step out from the behind the camera and know they will be in focus because the camera tracks the subject’s face and alerts the user with an audible noise when the subject is in frame. The Face Detection feature automatically detects and recognizes up to twelve different faces simultaneously, ensuring that the faces will be in clear focus, even when the subjects are part of a group photograph. The innovative Beauty Shot function allows users to adjust brightness and face tone, while also reducing flaws on all faces in a photo. The PL90 also incorporates Smile and Blink Detection features which automatically snaps a photo when the subjects are smiling and intelligently detects if the subject’s eyes were closed in the shot.

In addition, the PL90 features the intelligent and advanced Smart Album feature. Smart Album enables users to quickly locate pictures without trawling through every individual photograph by automatically managing content on the camera so users can search for images based on the date, time or even color.

    Nice to see prices going down for regular consumers. Other than that, I don't really see anything “game-changing” other than an attached usb. Would like to see how it performs overall though. That's the real test of whether its a keeper or just another toy.

    As much as I love my Samsung Tv and have been impressed with many of their other innovations, ice always been terribly disappointed with their cameras and camcorders. In the past, at least, they just haven’t produced a product that can compare to Canon, Nikon, Sony, Kodak, Fuji, or Olympus. Even Casio makes a better camera. Let’s hope this is the year they get it together as I would really love to see them relay the incredible quality that is in their TVs and monitors to the digital photography realm.
