Bigger doesn’t always mean better. The small-size/big-performance Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is equipped with 10x optical zoom to let you capture clear images and beautiful, accurate color, even from far away. And thanks to the Galaxy S4 zoom’s professional-quality optics and precise zoom-ring adjustment, you can take eye-popping close-ups, too—all without having to lug around heavy camera gear.
Advanced sensor technology makes your pictures come alive. The super-fast, super-sensitive 16-megapixel BSI (back side–illuminated) CMOS sensor needs less light for proper exposure and quicker focus than conventional sensors. So even if a moment happens in the dimmest lighting conditions, your photos will capture everything.
Don’t just share memories; create experiences. In-call Photo Share creates new picture-taking possibilities. Take a shot and send it in a text to a friend—while you’re talking with her on the phone! Zoom-ring control lets you instantly launch the camera app and control photographic functions. The Galaxy S4 zoom isn’t a smartphone with a camera. Part advanced still and video camera, and part Android-powered smartphone, the Galaxy S4 zoom is one device that’s always in touch with your world.
Quick Launch and Shortcut give you instant access to multiple camera modes. Just a quick twist of the Galaxy S4 zoom’s front-mounted zoom ring, followed by a quick touch of the display, lets you dial up different camera modes from: Auto, Gallery, Smart Mode, Manual, Program, and more by with the all-new My mode.
The zoom control re-imagined. Optical zoom control replaces traditional dials and buttons with smooth, easy-to-operate digital controls. Professional-quality accuracy and unprecedented ease of use are just a quick twist of the zoom ring away, making it easy to capture wide-angle shots and create tight-focus effects
Shooting in a hurry doesn’t have to mean shooting blurry. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom’s Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) system gives images crisp focus, even if you’re not perfectly still. Don’t miss a shot worrying about the right conditions. Click with confidence and create photos and video that come out sharp and clear—even in low-light situations, when zooming in for a shot, or while you’re on the move.
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is like a photo tour guide in your pocket. Photo Suggest instantly connects you to huge libraries of images taken by fellow photographers, to help you find and compose your best shots anywhere in the world. Bring more life to your photos—and more photos to your life—with leading social apps and widgets, including TourWrist, Panoramio, TripAdvisor and others.
