HMX-H300BP/XSA
Full HD Camcorder with long battery life.
With new innovative technology from Samsung, you can now enjoy up to three hours of battery life while recording your HD Videos.
Get more life out of your battery
Enjoy low power consumption and a more efficient battery with Samsung’s advanced technology. With this innovative technology, you can enjoy up to three hours of battery life while recording your HD videos. That means you can continuously record your child’s baseball game without missing any of the action while changing batteries. Plus, you no longer have to carry around an extra battery or charger for those shorter trips. (Please note: This feature is available only while using the Continuous Recording mode with a bundled battery)
Shoot video that’s as clear as day
The Samsung H300 HD camcorder, with its advanced BSI CMOS technology, adds new light to your videos. The H300 uses a 1/4” 5M (1/6.3” 1.75M effective) Pixel BSI CMOS to deliver improved sensitivity compared to conventional CMOS sensors. By dramatically reducing image noise and distortion and enhancing recording quality during low light conditions, you can capture crystal-clear videos whether you’re at a birthday party in a dimly lit restaurant or at home recording your child’s first steps.
Say goodbye to shaky videos
No longer will once-in-a-lifetime recording be ruined by shaky hands or blurred image. The H300 is equipped with the OIS Duo feature—a built-in optical image stabiliser combined with digital image stabilisation technology that quickly sets H300 apart from competing products. The OIS Duo automatically adjusts to compensate for even the slightest hand or body movements, resulting in steadier videos. What’s more, the OIS Duo maximises the area of stability at the same time, for crisp videos even when walking or moving around.
A bigger screen for better resolution
The Samsung H300 is the first entry-level HD camcorder that comes equipped with a 3 LCD screen. Compared to the standard 2.7 display, the 3 LCD screen is 20 larger which makes it easier to see what youre shooting and capture clean, crisp images that are saturated with natural colour and deep, dynamic detail. Plus, the intuitive LCD touch screen interface makes using the H300 so easy, its a pleasure.
Be part of the action with 30x Optical Zoom
Get closer to the action with the Samsung H300s 30x Optical Zoom lens. With more valid pixels than any competitor in its class, the 30x Optical Zoom lens lets you see more detail without having to get closer to the action. At 30x zoom, you can be sure that your videos will be clear, crisp, and perfectly captured every time.
The camcorder that adapts to your surroundings
When youre shooting, the last thing you want to worry about is adjusting your camcorders settings to compensate for varying light conditions or image details. Whether shooting landscapes or family portraits, the H300s intelligent Smart Auto feature automatically selects the best shooting mode to capture video and even stills. Smart Auto has 10pre-set modes to manage a wide number of different shooting situations such as low lighting, portraits, sunsets, and more. No matter what the conditions are, Smart Auto will help you to take the perfect shot every time.
Take a break in the action
When shooting a long video, like a baseball game or a childs play, you may want to take a break for any long pauses or intermission. With the H300s Record Pause feature, you can pause the recording and then pick up right where you left off without creating a new file. This way you only have one file to work with and dont have to merge files for editing, sharing or transferring. Now recording home movies and sharing them with your family has never been easier.
Face Detection
Capturing the faces of multiple people in the same frame is always difficult. Thats why Samsung developed its advanced Face Detection technology. With Face Detection, the H300 is able to accurately detect and recognise up to six faces, ensuring that every facial feature of each person is always in focus.
Compact Size
Weve made the design of the Samsung H300 camcorder even more compact by removing the excess space around the display screen hinge. The H300 also comes with a retractable carrying strap that makes transporting your camcorder more handy and comfortable.
USB Charging
Out of battery? Simply connect your Samsung camcorder to any USB port and it will start recharging. Now you wont have to lug around cumbersome chargers or an extra set of batteries. This intelligent feature gives you the freedom to shoot, share, and recharge from almost anywhere.
