Samsung Electronics has launched and upgraded Smart Camera at CES and says it is the first of its devices  to run on the new technology: the WB250F/WB200F, the WB800F, WB30F, DV150F and ST150F.

As new additions to the WB series of long-zoom models, DV series of Dual View cameras and ST series of Style Feature cameras, the new devices combine high optical performance and classic style with the enhanced connectivity of Smart Camera, claims the Japanese-based company.

Samsung has evolved its wifi technology to enhance its Smart Camera, originally launched at CES 2013, by creating Smart Camera 2.0. New functionalities and upgrades allow users to shoot and share photographs instantly. The ‘One Click, Simplify’ concept enables connected devices to connect so images can be shared through the striking interface.

Photographers can now experience a connected world, through either upgraded capabilities or when using any of the wifi aspects of the Smart Camera’s wifi connectivity. AutoShare allows images to simultaneously be sent and saved straight to a smartphone, via a wifi connection, as soon as the photo is taken on a camera.  

Streamlined connection has also been built into the external design of Smart Camera devices with a standalone Direct Link hot key automatically executing on wifi functionality at the touch of a button.

Samsungs Smart Camera App enables smart phone users to download the application (available on both Android and iOS operating platforms) and connect with the pre-installed Smart Camera capabilities via a wifi connection to manipulate, share and back-up images shot across the range of connected Samsung cameras available. Combining three different intelligent elements in one touch, the App integrates the upgraded capabilities of Remote Viewfinder and Mobile Link as well as the new AutoShare tool putting users in control from beginning to end.
