The following information is from the manufacturer:
Samsung's design engineers were able to produce one of the most remarkable camera designs in the industry with the help of hydro-forming technology for the TL240. Hydro-forming allows for greater flexibility during the design process and gives manufacturers the ability to produce smoother silhouettes, seamless bonding, and higher quality surfaces. The TL240 is the first consumer electronic product ever to be manufactured using hydro-forming technology. Despite their svelte 0.77-inch stainless-steel frames, the TL240 house impressive Schneider KREUZNACH lenses which boast a design inspired by the mirror-writings of Leonardo da Vinci. When powered up, the cameras' lens barrels extend and the lens specifications, including focal length and speed, appear with a hidden color accent in the concave reflective ring that surrounds each lens. These specifications are inscribed in reverse on the cameras' lens barrels and disappear when the lens naturally retracts into the camera body. The distinctive design makes an immediate and lasting impression. The Samsung TL240 is also highlighted by a slanted design, which places the back of the camera at a seven degree angle. This subtle design accent proves to be extremely useful for consumers who are interested in taking self-portraits and group shots. The issue that many consumers face when taking self-portraits or group shots with traditional digital cameras is the camera must be positioned much higher than the subjects in order to capture the complete image. Thanks to the seven degree angling of the TL240 , the lenses will always be pointed at the subjects' faces even if the camera is positioned at a lower angle. Furthermore, unlike traditional shutter buttons which sit flat on top of the camera, the TL240 offer slanted shutter buttons which make the cameras more comfortable to hold and operate.
Smart Gesture Touch-Screen User Interface The Samsung TL240 incorporates a 3.5" touch screen TFT LCD. The camera's massive displays house Samsung's Smart Gesture touch screen user interface which is complimented by an internal Gravity sensor for added ease of use. Smart Gesture is one of the most advanced and accurate touch-screen user interfaces on the market, and it gives users the ability to access and use key features with either a simple tilt or a hand gesture. The Smart Gesture adds a level of fun to the way users interact with and enjoy their content, allowing them to quickly scroll through their photos with a swipe of their finger or by slightly tilting the camera in either direction. Users can also easily delete photos from their library using Smart Gesture by marking an "X" on the screen with their finger, or rotate an image by drawing a circle (O) on the screen. Smart Gesture UI also offers useful auto-focusing options such as object tracking and one-touch auto focusing. Object tracking enables users to focus on any area by touching the location on the screen with their fingertip. Once the object or location is selected, the cameras will lock and keep their focus on the subject even if it's moving within the frame. Users can also proceed to take that photo by continuing to hold the location with their finger for two seconds, thanks to the cameras' one-touch auto focusing capabilities.
The TL240 offer powerful 7x optical zooms on the high-performance, oversized Schneider KREUZNACH lenses. To help reduce blur, these impressive lenses are paired with Samsung's Dual Image Stabilization technology, which combines both optical and digital stabilizers to counteract the negative effects of a user's shaky hand. End-users can also take advantage of the cameras' 7x optical zooms and optical image stabilization while recording video.
The camera offers 720p HD video recording at 30 frames-per-second in H.264 format. The cameras also comes complete with built-in HDMI connectivity, giving users the ability to effortlessly view their HD video and digital still images on an HDTV or HD monitor.
The new Samsung TL240 also make it easier than ever for consumers to capture the perfect shot thanks to Samsung's Smart Auto 2.0 (Still & Movie) scene recognition technology. Smart Auto 2.0 technology will automatically recognize the user's current shooting environment and select the appropriate settings to achieve the best results possible. Additionally, Samsung's Smart Auto 2.0 scene recognition technology can also be used to record video, producing the highest quality footage and results no matter where consumers will be using the cameras.
