Quality

An expression of the rate of compression used in a digital image. Higher quality images have a lower rate of compression, which usually results in a larger file size.

Resolution

The number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution images contain more pixels and typically show more detail than low resolution images.

Shutter speed

Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as it controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. A fast shutter speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion.

Smart zoom

Smart zoom lets you zoom in with less degradation of picture quality than the optical zoom and digital zoom.

Vignetting

A reduction of an image’s brightness or saturation at the periphery (outer edges) compared to the center of the image. Vignetting can draw interest to subjects positioned in the center of an image.

White balance (color balance)

An adjustment of the intensities of colors (typically the primary colors red, green, and blue), in an image. The goal of adjusting the white balance, or color balance, is to correctly render the colors in an image.

Released as part of Samsung's EX series, the EX2F is notable for its exceptional lens, advanced features, and user-friendly interface.

One of the standout features of the EX2F is its f/1.4 lens, which is one of the brightest lens openings in the compact camera segment. This allows for superior light capture, making it ideal for low-light photography while also enabling beautiful background blur (bokeh) for portraits. The camera is equipped with a 1/1.7-inch BSI CMOS sensor, ensuring outstanding image quality and low noise even at higher ISO settings.

The EX2F offers versatility with its 24mm ultra-wide angle to 80mm telephoto zoom range. This allows users to capture everything from sweeping landscapes to intimate portraits without the need for multiple lenses. The camera also features a dual zoom function, which provides additional cropping options without sacrificing resolution.

Image stabilization is another important aspect of the EX2F, as it includes Samsung’s Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) technology. This feature is invaluable for reducing blurs caused by handheld shooting, particularly in low-light conditions or during longer exposure times.

For those who enjoy sharing their photography, the Samsung EX2F comes with Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing users to instantly upload their photos to social media or transfer images to their smartphones and tablets. The camera also features a tilting AMOLED display, which enables easy composition of shots from various angles as well as providing rich and vibrant color representation for capturing images and reviewing photography work.

In addition to its photographic capabilities, the EX2F supports full HD video recording, ensuring that users can capture high-quality videos alongside still images. Advanced shooting modes, including manual controls, provide seasoned photographers the flexibility they crave, while presets cater to those who prefer an automated approach.

With a compact and stylish design, the Samsung EX2F is an excellent choice for those looking for a powerful camera that fits easily into a pocket or bag. Its combination of exceptional lens quality, advanced imaging technologies, and convenient features make it a valuable tool for capturing and sharing stunning photographs.
