Samsung is set to create waves within the high resolution camera market, with the launch of the ground breaking new model, the Digimax V4.

The sleek and compact design of the V4 belies the fact that it is bursting with a range of features, making the V4 one of the most versatile cameras around. A high resolution 4 megapixel CCD produces vivid picture images and renders accurate colour tones.

The Digimax V4 boasts a high quality 3 x zoom Schneider lens (equivalent to 38mm - 113mm in 35mm format). A total 12 x zoom range is possible by using the 4 x digital zoom. Creative picture taking is easily possible by utilising the many manual settings available, such as aperture / shutter priority or fully manual exposure. You can even control focusing yourself. Exposure compensation is also possible allowing the user to change the exposure +/- 2 E.V. in 0.5 stop increments.

Customising your favourite settings is easily performed with the 'My Set' mode. Up to 9 different camera settings including image size, quality and ISO can be stored. This means that users can personalise the V4 and achieve the pictures they want with just one touch of a button.
