Samsung TL225 and TL220 Press Release

3. RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J. – August 13, 2009 - Samsung Electronics America, Inc.,
today announced the Samsung DualView Cameras, the TL225 and TL220. These
12.2 mega-pixel, innovative compact digital cameras feature Dual LCD screens, with
one LCD on the front of the camera, and a second one on the back of the camera, to
give consumers the ability to truly step out from behind the camera and put
themselves in the picture.
Delivering an unrivalled user experience, the 1.5” LCD located on the front of the
Samsung DualView Cameras now allows consumers to take first-rate photos whether
they are behind the camera or in front of it. Samsung’s new TL225 also features a
3.5” wide touch-screen back LCD. At 1,152K resolution, the TL225’s LCD delivers
almost four times more resolution than traditional cameras and also comes complete
with haptic vibration feedback for ease of use. A 12.2 mega-pixel CCD and 27mm
wide-angle Schneider-KREUZNACH lens with 4.6x optical zoom gives a wider
shooting range from a shorter distance, producing clear, clean images with balanced
resolution from the center of the image to the edges.
“These cameras are the very first of their kind,” said Sang Jin Park, CEO of Samsung
Digital Imaging Company. “The use of digital imaging technologies has evolved and
we are offering functionality and capabilities that no other digital camera
manufacturer has yet addressed. It has become more common for the photographer
to switch roles and become the subject of his or her photo, especially given the rise
in popularity of self-portraits or profile pictures for use with today’s popular social
networking sites. The Dual LCD on the TL225 and TL220 allows consumers to
become part of the picture in a way that they simply were unable to do so before.

4. These cameras will be must-haves for those individuals that use popular social
networking Web sites and for families that want to get everyone, including the
photographer, in the picture.”
Showcasing further innovations, Samsung’s Smart Gesture User Interface (UI) with
built-in Gravity sensor means that once the camera is on, a simple tap on the front
LCD activates it and the camera is automatically set to Self Portrait mode with smile
detection. This means that if users want to take a self portrait, they only need to tap
and smile, and the picture will be taken automatically without pressing the shutter
button. Teamed with innovative Samsung technologies such as Smile Shot, Smart
Face Recognition and Smart Auto, users are given the ability to take the perfect
image with ease.
Additionally, just by tilting the camera in a certain direction, users can go directly to
a different mode or view their saved images. A simple touch or hand gesture is all it
takes to access the cameras’ full range of key features. For example, with Samsung’s
Smart Auto feature, the worry of photos being washed out, too dark, or out of focus
is also now a thing of the past. Smart Auto, which is able to recognize 16 different
potential scenes, analyzes key elements of your composition and subject, and then
selects the appropriate scene settings in response.

5. Samsung’s innovative Smart Face Recognition technology will memorize up to 20
faces and adjust the focus and exposure to the most high-ranked faces on the
camera. It also allows users to sort images by registered faces and scroll through to
find images of people in their Smart Album instead of viewing every single photo.
Alongside professional-grade photos, the TL225 and TL220 record 720p HD video at
30 frames-per-second in H.264 format, providing twice as much recording capacity
as MPEG4 format, and four times more than using MJPEG format, all in the palm of
your hand. HDMI connectivity means that your HD videos can be enjoyed on any
HDTV or HD Monitor.
Samsung DualView Cameras: TL225 and TL220 SPECIFICATIONS
Dual LCD Displays
Samsung DualView Cameras provide the easiest way to take the perfect self-portrait
every time with Dual LCDs. On the front of the cameras is a 1.5” LCD that shows you
what the picture will look like, so you can now be a subject of the picture, as well as
the photographer. Key features of the Dual LCDs include:
· When the camera is turned on, activate the front LCD by tapping the screen. It will
automatically be set in Self-Portrait mode, ensuring that the user will always be
framed exactly the way they want. You can also turn on the front LCD with a simple
selection through the intuitive interface. When in Self-Portrait mode, the camera will

6. also engage its smile detection technology, automatically taking a photo when it
recognizes a smile.
· In Child Mode, the front LCD plays a fun animation to capture a child’s attention
while taking their photo.
· Shutter Info ensures you take a photo of your subject while they’re smiling. When
using Shutter Info, the front LCD will display a “smiley face” when the photographer
has the shutter button pushed halfway down, giving the subject a signal that you’re
ready to take the photo.
· Function Info helps you keep track of what flash and macro value you’re currently
using, as the front LCD provides a visual readout of key camera settings.
· When taking a group photo using the Self-Timer, the front LCD will show a preview
of the shot as well as a visual countdown timer so that everyone knows exactly
when the photo will be snapped.
Smart Gesture User Interface (UI)
When it comes to smart, user-friendly features, the TL225 and TL220 lead the way.
Take for example the cameras’ innovative Smart Gesture UI with built-in Gravity
sensor, which lets you quickly access and use key features with either a simple tilt or
a hand gesture. To turn on the front LCD, simply tap the screen to activate the
display automatically and immediately.
Using other advanced features is just as simple. With the Smart Gesture UI you can
quickly scroll through your photos by slightly tilting the device in either direction or
by selecting the appropriate photos for a slide show. You can also easily delete
photos from your library using the Smart Gesture UI by marking an “X” on the
screen using your finger, or you can simply save your favorite photos into a separate
folder. Additionally, if you want to rotate an image, you can draw a circle (O) on the
screen, and if you want to see the next image in your library you can drag it on to
the screen with a sweep of your finger or by simply tilting the device.
3.5” Wide Touch-Screen Back LCD
With 1,152K resolution, the 3.5” wide touch-screen LCD located on the back of the
TL225 offers some of the sharpest images of any camera available today, delivering
almost four times more resolution than traditional displays. Unlike other digital
cameras, the LCD touch-screen uses Samsung’s unique haptic technology, providing
users with a slight vibration and audible beep whenever they select an option within
the touch-screen display.
12.2 Mega-Pixel CCD, 27mm Wide-Angle Lens with 4.6x Optical Zoom

7. Samsung DualView Cameras come fully equipped with a true color-filtered 12.2
mega-pixel CCD and boast a powerful 4.6x optical zoom, providing sharp and
detailed images. Whether you’re indoors or out, shooting a landscape or friends
around a table, the 27mm-wide angle lens plus 4.6x optical zoom gives you a wider
shooting range from a shorter distance, delivering greater flexibility than traditional
35mm lenses. Capture images of beautiful landscapes, entire wedding parties, and
skyscrapers without having to back up to get the shot. The precisely cut,
high-quality 27mm optical lens from Schneider-KREUZNACH delivers clear, clean
images with balanced resolution from the center to the edges. Each lens surface is
multi-coated to minimize ghosting or flaring for a great shot every time.
Advanced Dual Image Stabilization (IS)
Samsung’s Advanced Dual Image Stabilization (IS) technology allows you to capture
crystal-clear, blur-free images. The TL225’s and TL220’s true Dual IS combines both
Optical and Digital Image stabilizers to produce sharp images without the confusion
commonly found in other cameras. The Optical IS intelligently compensates for hand
trembling by shifting the lens in the opposite direction. When Optical IS isn’t quite
enough, the Digital IS automatically takes over to ensure blur-free images.
HD Video Recording
Besides the ability to take high-quality digital still images, Samsung DualView
Cameras also offer impressive 720P HD video recording at 30 frames per second.
The TL225 and TL220 use the H.264 format which allows you to record twice as
much content as MPEG4, and four times more than MJPEG, the format typically used
in other digital cameras. The TL225 also offers HDMI connectivity (adapter sold
separately) so that you can enjoy your HD video, as well as digital still images, on an
HDTV or HD monitor.
Smart Auto
Samsung’s Smart Auto feature ensures that users never have to worry about their
photos being washed out, too dark or out of focus. Smart Auto analyzes key
elements of your composition such as color, brightness, motion and subject and then
selects the appropriate scene mode which will produce the best results possible.
Smart Album
With Samsung’s convenient Smart Album feature, you can quickly scroll through your
entire library of images and organize them in the way that’s best for you. This
unique feature allows you to organize photos by Favorite (if tagged as a “favorite”
photo), Face (someone you’ve taken many photos of), Timeline (date photos were
taken), Week, Color, and Content (photos, videos, voice-note).
Perfect Portrait System

8. Picture-perfect moments at their best
Samsung’s Perfect Portrait System takes the guess work out of shooting beautiful
portraits. Key features of this system are Samsung’s Smile Shot and Blink Detection
technologies which automatically detect when your subjects are smiling and if their
eyes are closed, allowing you to capture them looking their best. Another advanced
feature is the Red-eye Fix mode. This in-camera feature automatically fixes the
typical red-eye associated with the use of the flash, before the photo is produced, a
significant time saver as you don’t have to spend time afterwards removing red-eyes
from your photos.
Smart Touch Shooting and Auto-Focus
Sometimes the focal point of your picture is not always in the center of the frame. In
cases like this, the TL225’s and TL220’s Smart Touch Auto Focus feature allows you
to focus on a different part of the shot by simply touching the desired area. That
means your subject, no matter where in the frame it may be, will always be in focus.
Once you’ve selected the focal point, you can simply leave your finger on the screen
for two seconds or push the shutter button to take the picture.
Smart Face Recognition
The TL225 and TL220 feature Samsung’s advanced Face Recognition technology
which automatically stores up to 20 preferred faces to the cameras’ internal memory.
While taking a portrait, the TL225 and TL220 will automatically recognize if one of
the user’s preferred faces is in the frame and identify them as a priority for focus and
exposure. Users can also save time sorting through their photos by searching only
for those that contain a specific face.
Beauty Shot
Samsung’s Beauty Shot feature lets you remove all the imperfections on your
subject’s face such as wrinkles, blemishes, and moles. Simply select one of two
editing options to even out skin tone and complexion.
Photo Style Selector and Highlight Feature
Samsung DualView Cameras are designed to help you enhance your creativity when
it comes to digital imaging. Samsung’s Photo Style Selector allows you to transform
your photos from simple memories to works of art. Choose from a wide selection of
artistic treatments ranging from classic black and white to something more vivid,
giving you full control over the color tones of your image. Additionally, with
Samsung’s unique highlight feature, you can focus on one area of your photo and
blur everything around it, turning a normal photo into something much more
complex.
