VP-MX25E/MX20C

New Integrated Chip Solution with Samsung Technology

Experience the most naturally beautiful images with new Samsung technology. Advanced Color Expression, Hyper Digital Image Stabilizer, Super LCD plus, and Face Detection Auto Focus combine to make your digital image dreams a reality.

Longer battery life, extended recording time, and higher quality digital imaging are enabled by the VP-MX25/MX20’s Samsung chip. By designing and implementing a powerful single chip control system, power consumption is dramatically reduced, allowing you to capture more memories that can be treasured for the rest of your life.

3D Noise Reduction

The VP-MX25/MX20 transcends the boundaries of convention by introducing 3D noise reduction that dramatically eliminates noise whilst maintaining the original edge and pattern of the image. By analyzing motion between the frames, the frames are split into pattern/edge frames and differential frames and are passed through separate filters which maintain the pattern and edge and remove noise. After filtering, the frames are combined once more to make a cleaner, clearer image.

3D Motion Optimizer

3D Motion Optimizer Processing creates clearer, cleaner images. Unlike conventional 2D processing, 3D processing compares previous and following frames, divides the current frame into pixel blocks, detects noise occurrence, and eliminates it efficiently without filtering the entire image.

Color as vivid as your memories

Digital Natural Color Processing creates an expanded palette of colors that are closer to those seen in nature. By internally adjusting images beyond RGB into 4 color CMYG spectral color matching, the VP- MX25/MX20 is able to accurately recreate colors that are closer to those your eyes see, closer to your memories, and closer to reality.
