Shooting & Sharing Videos Made Easy With the Pocket-Sized
Samsung Full HD HMX-P300 and HMX-P100
Capture and share Full HD quality videos wherever you go with the latest Samsung
point-and-share cameras
CES, Las Vegas –January 5, 2011 - Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd, a global leader in digital media and
digital convergence technologies, today announced the launch of its two latest point-and-share cameras
in the 2011 portfolio. The Full HD HMX-P300 and HMX-P100 have been designed for those who love
sharing videos with friends and family, and being able to capture film spontaneously and upload just as
quickly. Stylish, pocket-sized and affordable, they have been created to be carried anywhere and make
uploading and sharing special moments as easy and fun as recording them.
The HMX-P300 and HMX-P100 follow on from the Samsung HMX-E10 model, bringing with them the
latest developments in Samsung imaging technology, to make some of the best-value point-and-share
cameras on the market, so users can capture high quality live video. Key developments such as 5M BSI
(Back Side Illuminated) CMOS sensor, which dramatically improves low-light recording and HD movie
recording, are available in the P100, incorporating high-end innovation in these affordable and easy-to-
use point-and-share cameras. The HMX-P300 and HMX-P100 are also the ultimate point-and-share
cameras for those who want to upload their videos quickly and easily. Through the new One Touch
Sharing feature, users can select which website they want to upload files to direct from the LCD screen.
Both point-and-share cameras come with advanced Intelli-Studio 2.0 software pre-installed so it’s easy to
connect to a PC and start sharing straight away.
The HMX-P300 is also specially adapted to make video capture easy from any angle, by including a 3x
Optical Zoom and Pivot Recording Mode, to enable you to capture greater detail at any occasion, such as
concerts or sporting events in horizontal or vertical frames. 3x Optical Zoom allows you to record in clear
and brilliant detail whilst on-the-go, so capturing something spontaneous doesn’t mean sacrificing video
quality. The 3” 230K pixel Touch LCD screen can also rotate to give multiple shooting angles that allow
the user a full, clear view of their subject without sacrificing the shot through portrait or landscape
orientation. To make sure that you don’t miss any of the action, the Samsung HMX-P100 is also built with

an LCD screen that has an 80-degree viewing angle, so no matter how you’re holding your point-and-
share camera, you’ll enjoy a clear view every time. Both point-and-share cameras also offer still image
capture, with 8 Megapixel (HMX-P300) and 5 Megapixel (HMX-P100) image quality.
Mr. Hyunho Chung, Executive Vice President and Head of the Digital Imaging Business, Samsung
Electronics, commented: “The HMX-P300 and HMX-P100 are the perfect point-and-share cameras for
customers who get as much enjoyment in sharing their videos as they do from capturing them. Sharing
our videos with friends and family through social networking sites and blogs is one of the great pleasures
in capturing live footage and we’ve used the latest Samsung technology to make this easier than ever.
These point-and-share cameras are ideal for anyone who has a busy life but still enjoys capturing and
sharing eye-catching moments on-the-go; they’re small and stylish enough for you to want to take
everywhere.”
New experiences in quality and usability
The HMX-P100 and P300 are built to make sharing movies easier than ever through the One Touch
Sharing feature. Once the point-and-share camera is connected to a PC via the built-in USB arm, any
videos will upload automatically as pre-selected, saving time with file transferring and making sure you
never forget to share special memories with friends and family. In addition to this, the HMX-P300 and
HMX-P100 can also capture great still photographs, eliminating the need to carry around a separate
camera for moments when a snapshot is needed.
Both the HMX-P100 and HMX-P300 are built with mobility in mind and so use MicroSD technology, which
is regularly used in mobile phones, making them much smaller and more compact than conventional
point-and-share cameras. The slim bodies of the point-and-share cameras mean they can easily fit into a
jacket pocket or handbag, while the built-in USB arms and USB charging features enable users to charge
batteries and share images simultaneously without need of a cable.
The point-and-share cameras include features to create the best possible image quality out of every
situation. The innovative 5M BSI (Back Side Illuminated) CMOS sensor featured on the HMX-P100
records with twice the sensitivity of regular CMOS sensors to reduce image noise and distortion and
dramatically enhance recording quality in low-light situations. The AF lens of the HMX-P100 also makes it
easy to capture bright and clear movies anytime and anywhere.
In addition, the HMX-P300 and HMX-P100 also include a number of smart features that make recording
bright and clear images simple. The Auto Focus and Smart Auto functions on both models automatically

adjust focus and shooting mode according to factors such as the colour, subject and brightness for
professional quality video. Both point-and-share cameras also feature new Smart Pause technology,
allowing users to take a brief pause in filming before re-starting recording within the same file –this
makes is much easier to edit footage and ensure you have the best video capturing experience.
