Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation, one of the country’s leaders in digital media and digital convergence technologies, announces the launch of a new Wi-Fi enabled travel zoom camera. The Samsung WB150F enhances the advanced optical zoom and image quality that the WB range is known for, with Wi-Fi capability to facilitate sharing and saving of images – wherever you are in the world. Housed in a compact, light and durable body, the new zoom camera from Samsung makes the perfect travel companion.

Samsung’s innovative new SMART Wi-Fi technology aims to change the way we take pictures, share and store them. With this new SMART Long Zoom Camera, users no longer have to worry about unearthing a tangle of cables to transfer their images over to their hard drive by using the Auto Backup function.

Of course, one of the best parts of discovering new places and cultures is sharing your experiences with friends and family back home. With the Wi-Fi capability of the new Samsung SMART Long Zoom, this is quicker and easier than ever. From any Wi-Fi hotspot, users can email photos or share them on social networks such as Facebook and Picasa and post videos to YouTube in a few simple steps.

As with its WB predecessors, the Samsung WB150F makes it easy to capture incredible detail through its zoom lens, making it simple to get up-close shots that were once out of reach. The WB150F features an impressive 18x optical super zoom. And in order to capture the detail at its best, the WB150F sports an outstanding 14.2MP resolution that you can view on its 3.0” LCD display.

Mr. Ariel T. Arias, Business Unit Head of the Audio-Visual Group commented: “Sharing photographs taken with friends and family is one of the most enjoyable aspects of travelling. It’s about more than simply capturing memories – it’s an integral part of the experience itself. Listening to our customers, we understood that being able to conserve memory by sharing images instantly was what was missing from the high-quality cameras that they trust. With this in mind, we added ground-breaking Wi-Fi functions to our travel zoom camera, building on the brilliant image quality that high-quality sensors and zoom lenses provide – now with the ability to store and share like never before.”

Share unforgettable scenes in High Definition:

Whether filming your grand summer vacation or your child’s graduation, the Samsung WB150F enables you to share your video in HD. The WB150F captures spectacular scenery shots with a fantastic 720/30p HD capture, ensuring that once-in-a-lifetime experiences are captured in all the color and vibrancy that you experienced them in.

Make any picture come to life with Motion Photo:

Be the only person walking through a crowd of statues or see a solitary tree bending in the breeze – with Motion Photo you can make one element of a normal photograph come to life and keep moving while the rest of the frame stays still. Edit it instantly on your camera and then use Wi-Fi to share it immediately without ever needing a computer.

Making it easy to get the best shot:

With this new travel zoom camera, it’s up to you how you get the best shot. Using WB150F you can explore your own photographic skills with Full Manual Control, also taking advantage of the OIS.

Live Panorama to get everyone in the shot:

Live Panorama allows you to capture even more of the action, facilitating wide panoramic shots without missing any of the detail – from sprawling mountain peaks to large groups of friends. This function allows the easy capture of large scenes by simply holding down the shutter button and sweeping the camera across. Users can even preview the whole scene they have just captured via the LCD screen.

Fun feature to add a twist to your travels:

Why not add some more fun to your travels by getting creative with your photographs? With Split Shot you can divide the screen into three separate shots and create up to three different photographs simply blending them together to create a whole new view of your travels.

With the new Samsung Smart Camera WB150F, Samsung aims to deliver powerful optical performance and to revolutionize the compact camera industry with the addition of a built-in WiFi technology to make sharing and saving of photos more convenient. Truly, innovation makes it easy.
