IntroductionFunctions of Samsung ST550 have been diversified. More functions have be added and are supported in one button. Digital camera companies try to satisfy users by releasing digital cameras smaller, slimmer, and having more various functions. However, on the other hand, Samsung starts to install Touch on digital cameras with releasing simpler, slimmer products. That is the ST series from Samsung.
Detailed Description- Samsung Digital Imaging has adopted touch technology to the ST550(TL225). It makes the LCD bigger 3.5” by eliminating buttons on the back.
- No.1 of Self shots?? Looking and taking!!
You’ve taken pictures with trying to find a handsome angle? You don’t need a handsome angle any more. Through 1.5” Front display, you can take a self shot with watching you. You don’t need to look at a small dented lens next to the lens. Besides, it supports Dual IS, so you are easily able to take a self shot.

As a matter of fact, it’s not easy to take a Macro shot without Tripod with a compact digital camera, but anyway it’s good to be better than others, right?
- 1280*720 HD video
The video mode of the ST550(TL225) supports 1280*720 HQ quality. By connecting to a TV or a monitor, you can watch videos in a optimized size and quality. Plug-in can also be applied to Videos, so you can get better and different videos by using the Plug-in. But I’m not satisfied that voice is not recorded while zooming.
