Equipped with a true-colour filtered 5.1 megapixel CCD, the Digimax S500 combines high resolution with a high-precision 3X optical zoom lens for fantastic image results. Its telephoto capability is extended by a 5X digital zoom, giving a total 15X zoom. When set to Auto Mode, the Digimax S500 automatically adjusts the focusing distance from 5cm to infinity, helping you take great macro shots without any fuss. For subjects closer than 5cm, simply switch the mode dial to Macro for crisp, clear close-up shots. The user-friendly ergonomic body design delivers comfort and a steady hold for better shots. This means you can expect even better focus no matter where your subject is in the frame.
The power button, the mode dial, and the shutter release reside atop the camera, while the zoom rocker, a four-way-plus-menu/OK control pad, and three other control buttons occupy the right side of the camera back next to the 2.4-inch LCD. The zoom rocker sits about 0.25 inch too far to the right for comfort, though the curved indent underneath it provides a perfect spot for your thumb. The three control buttons let you enter play mode and adjust exposure compensation; not to mention access settings such as ISO, white balance, and RGB intensity as well as other options, such as color modes, photoframe overlays, stitch-assist modes, and framing guides to help you line up your subjects. This last button is labeled with an E for effects, while the exposure compensation button is labeled with plus and minus symbols.
The new Samsung S500 camera has an internal storage capacity of approximately 20MB and features a Secure Digital slot for external storage. For power the Digimax S500 uses 2x AA format alkaline or NiMH type of batteries. The Digimax S500 has compact dimensions of 96.8 x 61.8 x 26.4mm and weighs only 136 g. The camera provides a macro mode (5cm) and focuses in normal mode from 80cm to infinity. The back of the camera features a 2.4 inch LCD monitor with a resolution of 112,00 pixels.
