New and distinctive features of the newly launched 2View cameras

Hi! It’s So-Young again!
We are in full spring mode now with much warmer weather and blossoming flowers. How are you all enjoying the spring weather? It’s a good time to go outside with your family or a date. I hope you make lasting memories this spring.
As if to celebrate the coming of spring, Samsung has launched new 2View cameras: the PL120, PL170, and ST700. The actual launch timing may vary by region. The new products are armed with cool new functions on top of the front LCD, a key differentiator of 2View cameras. For those who are curious to learn about the new features and differences by model, I will go over those today.

For more detailed specifications of each camera, click on the link below.
Specifications of the PL120
Specifications of the PL170
Specifications of the ST700
1. Magic Frame

One of the key differences of the ST700, PL170, and PL120 models compared to the ones released last year would definitely be the Magic Frame function. Using the 12 special background frameworks, you can come up with unique photos effects such as Wall Art, Old Film, Ripple, Full Moon, Old Record, Magazine, Sunny Day, Classic TV, Yesterday, Holiday, and Billboard 1,2. Just like the ones above! These functions will definitely spice up your photos!
2. Smart Filter

The ST600 and ST100 offered six Smart Filter functions: Miniature, Vignetting, Fish-eye filter 1 & 2, Sketch, and Defog. The ST700, PL170, and PL120 models offer additional functions: Old Film 1 & 2, Soft Focus, Half Tone Dot, Classic, Retro, and Negative Filter. With such a wide variety of Smart Filter choices in your hands, you will be able to produce expert-like photos.
3. Touch Screen

The back LCD displays for the ST700, ST600, and ST100 is touch display, just like a smartphone. For those used to using a touchscreen, I recommend the ST series. Meanwhile, the new PL170 and PL120 come with a main display of 3.0 inch and 2.7 inch respectively, with buttons on the right side for control. So, pick and chose a stylish compact camera of your taste to capture portraits of daily events as well as splendid and grand landscapes!
I hope my posting helped to answer some of your questions on the new 2View cameras.
You can also visit the 2View Facebook page for sample photos and photos taken using the Magic Frame and Smart Filter in the photo album and wall.
You can also share your own photos taken with the 2View camera, so make sure to visit, look around, and share your story!
That’s it for today. Until the next 2View class, bye bye!

2View Camera – Play with the Front LCD!

Hi there! It’s So-Young!

Following the previous postings on Children Mode and Smart Filter, today’s posting will be on the 2View camera. Today, I will go over how to take pictures using front LCD, which is one of the most distinctive features and benefits of the Samsung 2View camera.

The 2View camera has a front LCD uniquely catering to self-shooting, a feature that users, who enjoy self-shooting, will welcome with zeal. With the 2View camera, you can not only take self-shots, but also get a sneak preview of group photos. Are you ready to learn about how to have fun with the front LCD? If you are, then buckle up!

Samsung’s 2View camera line-up includes the most recent ST700, PL170, PL120 and the ST600, ST100, ST550(TL225), ST500(TL220), PL150(TL210), and PL100(TL205).

Here are some fascinating shooting modes that you can use with the front LCD.

First, turn on the camera and the front LCD. If you press the front LCD, you can choose from Self-shot, Children Mode, Couple Shot, and Jump Shot.

1) Self-Shot

With self-shot mode, you can take pictures of yourself using the front LCD, just like when you’re looking into the mirror. That’s not all! When the camera recognizes a face, a square box automatically appears at the size of the face. Smile brightly and the camera will go off automatically without having to press the button!

Do you know any good tips on how to take a good self-shot? Here is one.

Hold up your camera at about 45 degrees higher so that your face is lower than the camera, tuck your chin in and open your eyes widely. Your chin will appear narrower, your eyes bigger and your face smaller!

2) Children

The Samsung 2View camera has come up with a bright idea to have young children focus: play a fun animation video on the front LCD!

Have you ever had to shout to your child, “Look here! Smile~ No, here!” until you got a satisfactory smile? The Samsung 2View camera is the answer for those parents struggling to capture beautiful moments of their child.

That is not all! On top of the default Pororo animation, you can also download other versions of the animation…

3) Couple Shot

With the Couple Shot mode, the camera will automatically take pictures if it senses that two faces are in close proximity. Make sure to use the front LCD to add love spice to the picture! With the Samsung 2View camera, you no longer have to ask a passerby to take your photos.

4) Jump Shot

Have you ever dreamed of flying? The Jump Shot mode from the 2View camera ensures perfect timing to capture your jump– just when you appear to be flying up to the sky!

Don’t you find head-on stand-still photos to be a bit boring? Try the Jump Shot mode to add fun and excitement to the photo! Spread your arms wide like a little child and JUMP! Worried that the camera will shake too much? No worries! The smart 2View will take care of it. Set the camera to Jump Shot and press the shutter. The front LCD has a countdown of five seconds. When an upward facing arrow(↑) appears, then jump! The camera will take three consecutive shots for a fun result.

The cool multi-functional 2View camera offers a wide variety of choices for its users. Capture your memorable moments with the Samsung 2View camera! The 2View camera is ready to help you create fond memories.

So, that is it with ‘Play with the Front LCD!’ I will return with other useful tips. Until then, bye~bye!

Black as Coffee…. ….with milk :)

[Samsung Pro815 1/8 ㅣf/4.6 ㅣISO 100ㅣ7.4mm]

Black and white are colors, but I think everyone thought about them as they were not colors What a complicated idea:) ( Someone once wrote a comment to this photo above, that, as it feels to see the smell of coffee, came probably good)

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/2000 ㅣf/5.6 ㅣISO 80ㅣ7.7mm]

[Samsung Pro815 1/15 ㅣf/3.2 ㅣISO 50ㅣ25.7mm]

At the beginning did not like to do black and white photos, also admit that it is quite difficult. This is not so easy as I thought. More to say, it is very difficult, I hadn’t any idea how to do it.

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/180 ㅣf/6.6 ㅣISO 80ㅣ4.3mm]

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/350 ㅣf/5.1 ㅣISO 200ㅣ4.3mm]

I watch a lot of photos taken by others, the wife said that I am addicted and need to be treated! How much will I run the camera and then sit there and do something? All because of digital photography - that is right for everyone.

[Samsung Pro815 1/60 ㅣf/2.8 ㅣISO 50ㅣ14.2mm]

[Samsung Pro815 1/250 ㅣf/4.0 ㅣISO 50ㅣ7.4mm]

Black and white pictures on the world looks very different - intriguingly mysterious.

[Samsung Pro815 1/100 ㅣf/5.6 ㅣISO 50ㅣ14.2mm]

[Samsung WB1000(TL320) 1/90 ㅣf/2.8 ㅣISO 100ㅣ4.3mm]

The same photo in full color looks terrible sometimes, changing them to black and white or shades of gray become an entirely different dimension.

[Samsung Pro815 1/160 ㅣf/8 ㅣISO 50ㅣ7.4mm]

[Samsung Pro815 1/13 ㅣf/3.5 ㅣISO 100ㅣ10.3mm]

Unfortunately I have to admit that even I can not work around without the help of a computer program: (- all the time I teach new tricks to go better and better.

[Samsung Pro815 1/30 ㅣf/3.2 ㅣISO 50ㅣ15.5mm]

[Samsung Pro815 1/20 ㅣf/5.0 ㅣISO 50ㅣ23.2mm]

But on the other hand, these are my ideas. So it seems to me that I ‘do’ it to the end. I think that was right?

[Samsung Pro815 1/30 ㅣf/2.2 ㅣISO 100ㅣ7.4mm]

[Samsung Pro815 1/30 ㅣf/2.2 ㅣISO 100ㅣ7.4mm]

[Samsung Pro815 1/100 ㅣf/3.2 ㅣISO 50ㅣ19.4mm]

Is black-and-white world does not seem interesting to you? Try it and enjoy it for sure …
