Shoot video that’s as clear as day
The Samsung Q10 HD camcorder, with its advanced BSI CMOS technology, sheds new light to your videos. The Q10 uses a 1/4” 5M (1/5.8” 2.07M effective) Pixel BSI CMOS to deliver double the sensitivity of conventional CMOS sensors. By dramatically reducing image noise and distortion, and enhancing recording quality during low light conditions, you can capture crystal-clear videos whether you’re a at birthday party in a dimly lit restaurant or at home recording your child’s first steps.
A camcorder that’s ambidextrous
When designing the Samsung Q10 HD camcorder, every detail was carefully considered when it came to improved usability. That’s why the Q10 is the first camcorder in its class to feature the innovative Switch Grip function, giving you the flexibility to hold the camcorder in either hand. The built-in G-magnetic sensor quickly recognizes when the camcorder and its LCD display is turned so it knows which hand is holding it. That means you can hold the Q10 with whichever hand is more comfortable or allows you to capture videos from the best vantage point.
Say goodbye to shaky videos
Don’t risk ruining a once-in-a-lifetime memory due to a shaky hand or an inferior camcorder. To help you avoid this, the new Samsung Q10 HD camcorder comes fully equipped with their unique OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer) Duo feature, an addition that will quickly become your new best friend. The built-in chip automatically adjusts to compensate for even the slightest hand or body movements, resulting in steadier videos. What’s more, the OIS Duo is able to maximize the stabilizing area while minimizing shaking so you can take crisp videos every time—even while you’re walking or moving around.
The camcorder that adjusts to your surroundings
When you’re shooting, the last thing you want to worry about is adjusting your camcorder’s settings to compensate for varying light conditions or image details. Whether shooting landscapes or family portraits, the Q10’s intelligent Smart Auto feature automatically selects the best shooting mode to capture video and even stills. Smart Auto has 10 pre-set modes to manage a wide number of different shooting situations such as low lighting, portraits, sunsets, and more. No matter what the conditions are, Smart Auto will help you to take the perfect shot every time.
