It remains perfectly still even if you don’t

The ST88’s Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) gives you steady and focused pictures even if you’re not perfectly still. Whether you’re in a low light situation zooming into a shot or have a momentary case of shaky hands your photos come out sharp and clear.

HD 720p 30fps
Inside this stylish yet powerful camera capture 720p HD-quality video at 30 frames per second —clearer than the average compact digital camera video. From the concert hall to birthday parties get HD-quality videos wherever you are.
The simple way to go pro
Smart Auto 2.0
Whether you’re capturing under bright conditions and cannot see the subject’s face use the backlight mode and get a clearer picture using Smart Auto 2.0 (Still & Movie). Get the best possible result every time. Scene detection technology identifies up to 16 different shooting conditions instantly analyzes key elements of your composition and then automatically adjusts to optimize settings for every individual situation.
Show both sides of the story
Picture in Picture
A picture may be worth a thousand words but one photo doesn’t always tell the whole story. Picture in Picture lets you insert one image within another — for example a shot of a game-winning homerun framed by the cheering crowd. You can even adjust the size and position of the smaller shot however you like — so you can present the complete picture the way you experienced it.
Create stunning photos with Magic Frame
Magic Frame
Turn a portrait into an old film still or put a friend’s face on a billboard. With Magic Frame it’s easy to create clever poster-quality images. Just select one of the built-in background templates like Wall Art Full Moon Magazine or Holiday. Point the camera at your subject align it within the on-screen template and capture the fun — to hang on your own wall or to share!
Bring on the laughter
Funny Face
Bend stretch and warp your friends and family for big laughs — with the Funny Face feature you simply press the 5-direction key to enlarge heads or noses or create hilarious distortions. And when you move the camera the Face Tracking feature preserves the funny looks just the way you want them.
Smart Filter 2.0
Take your creativity to a higher level with the 13 lens and color effects of Smart Filter 2.0. During playback choose the Vignetting Effect for striking compositional contrast; the Fish-eye Effect to enhance videos with a cool distorted feel or the Miniature Effect to give subjects a scale-model look. Color filters — like Sketch and Defog — add emotion an ultra-vivid vibe or other artistry to your images.
Intelligent Portrait
Intelligent Portrait helps you figure out all the angles — and lets you choose the best one. Snap a wide-angle shot of a friend and the camera captures two other good angles and compositions in the same click. Keep all three pictures or select only the best — the ST88 gives you the option.
Smart Face Recognition + Face Tracking
Smart Face Recognition plays favorites — it recognizes and adjusts the focus and exposure on up to 20 faces you designate (or have taken the most photos of) and makes them stand out in a group. Face Tracking ensures optimum settings for faces in motion so your favorites are always in focus.
Sound Alive
Sound Alive — Samsung’s advanced Zoom Noise Reduction technology — helps eliminate the whirring noise of the zoom function while you shoot and record sound. Zoom in and out all you want when capturing HD video and still enjoy optimal quality crystal clear sound during playback.
Perfect Portrait System
The Perfect Portrait System helps create flawless portraits easily. Face Detection automatically adjusts settings to ensure the ideal focus and exposure. Beauty Shot and a red eye removal feature take care of the details — retouching skin tone and eliminating facial imperfections and red eye.
Smart Album
Smart Album automatically organizes your photos by type date color week — even by face — so you can easily find that one particular shot. Want to quickly navigate to a desired image? Let Smart Album do a face search or use the playback menu option and view up to 16 images at once.
