From the Manufacturer The Digimax i5 achieves clearer image quality by integrating the 3x optical zoom capability with Samsung's exclusive SHD lens technology, recognized throughout the world. With a 5-megapixel CCD that utilizes primary color filtering technology, it provides excellent sensitivity and color reproduction, and can be used for great pictures as well as shooting text for printing. Exclusive SF (Safety Flash) Technology The Digimax i5 is equipped with the unique SF (Safety Flash) capability that has been even further improved. The SF (Safety Flash) function gives enhanced image clarity and color in places without a sufficient light source, when the use of a flash is not desirable. This unique technology uses proprietary algorithms to interpret sharpness and color information to deliver an image that looks like it has been taken with the flash. As the flash is disabled red eye will be prevented. Auto macro function and macro to one centimeter When it is set to Auto Mode, the Digimax i5 automatically adjusts the shooting distance and focus from between 5 centimeters to infinity, helping the picture taker to get better pictures. The user does not need to activate the macro function separately in order to take pictures as close as 5 centimeters. Furthermore, the super macro function enables subjects to be photographed up to as close as 1 centimeter. Broad range of effects (color, photo frame, out-focusing, and composite) The Digimax i5 provides the various photographic effects. The i5 has four different special effects: color, Photo Frame, highlight, and Composite. The color effect includes red, blue, and green in addition to sepia and black and white . Highlight enables the user to emphasize a subject by putting its surroundings into soft focus. Photo Frame lets the user choose from various frames and add them to a picture, which can then be uploaded to a website or personal blog. With Composite, the user can divide the shooting scene into two to four segments and save them into a single file. Easy mode switch button The Digimax i5 provides an M button for even quicker mode switching. The user can switch between Automatic, Manual, and Scene Modes more quickly and easily. 11 scene modes and text recognition capability Digimax i5 has various scene modes to obtain the best picture result in a variety of settings.

The user can shoot documents such as books, papers, and magazines and then extract text from the images taken using the Digimax Viewer text recognition software (included). PictBridge and USB 2.0 The PictBridge enabled Digimax i5 allows the user to print 5-megapixel photos directly from the camera on a compatible printer, without the need for a PC. In addition, it supports USB 2.0, which can be used to provide various useful functions at a much faster rate than USB 1.1.
