From the Manufacturer
For wide angle applications, shooters can turn to Samsung's 5-megapixel Digimax A55W, which features a 4.8x optical zoom and offers a focusing range of 28mm to 135mm (35mm equivalent). To cover even more ground, the A55W also offers a 5x digital zoom, achieving a total zoom of 24x when combined with the camera's optical zoom capability.
Simple but elegant exterior design
The exterior design of the Digimax A55W is simple compared to other digital cameras. The location of the Power button near the part where a user grips the camera simplifies the button arrangement, which can be easily complex in regular digital cameras. Due to the location advantage, you can turn-on the power very easily and quickly while gripping the camera. The button arrangement makes the image of this digital camera more elegant and stylish.
2.5-inch large TFT LCD with 200,000-pixel high resolution
The Digimax A55W employs a high-resolution large LCD so you can take pictures whilst viewing subjects via the clear and large screen. The large LCD makes this camera a perfect substitute for a camcorder particularly for users who frequently use movie functions. The 200,000-pixel high-resolution TFT LCD will give you satisfaction when shooting and playing images.
Small pocket-sized body with stable grip
Various and complex digital camera functions make regular users who are not familiar with various camera functions uncomfortable when using a camera. The Digimax A55W provides convenient function and setting buttons that can be used simply and easily with just one hand. In addition, this small pocket sized body enables you to firmly grip the digital camera. Thus, you can easily operate camera buttons in any situation.
From 28mm super-wide-angle to 135mm super telephoto
Whilst regular digital camera users take pictures, they usually change the camera lens from the basic 35mm lens angle of view to a wider angle telephoto lens. The reason is that you may obtain different images with the same subjects depending on the angle of view of a lens. The broad and extensive surroundings provided by the angle of view of a wide angle lens are emphasized via a 28mm angle of view thus expressing images with more enriched colors. The images provided by the angle of view of a telephoto lens are emphasized via a 135mm angle of view. Experience the various expressions of a 4.8x optical zoom super wide angle lens equivalent to 28mm to 135mm in 35mm format and of super telephoto lens.
Auto macro mode and 2-centimeter super close-up mode
Auto Macro of the Digimax A55W is one of the functions aimed at user convenience. In Auto Macro, the camera automatically sets the focus when you take shots at very short distances. These days, many people like taking such pictures. When you take pictures of yourself, the images are sometimes blurred because the distance between a digital camera and yourself is so close. In addition, when you take pictures of many subjects like flowers while not setting the Macro mode, the images taken are sometimes not clear. However, the Digimax A55W automatically sets the Macro function for the subject that is located at very short distances without requiring manual setting of the Macro function.
Exposure compensation function and autoexposure bracketing function
In PROG mode, you can change the brightness of an image depending on the situation. Through the exposure compensation function, you can shoot images with different brightness as you want or under specific exposure conditions such as backlight, obtaining thus clearer images.
Frequent users of digital cameras may know the AEB function. The Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) function is suitable for situations when optimal exposure is difficult to achieve. You can take a picture with normal exposure, a darker picture, and a brighter picture, simultaneously. Under the situation where shooting is difficult with normal exposure settings, you can take pictures by selecting the brightness of an ima
