Gift & Guide: A Camera for Newlyweds

  • Published: November 20, 2012

Forget the china and the towels. What better gift could you offer a pair of newlyweds than a great digital camera? Samsung’s WB850F offers pro-grade quality in a convenient, intuitive package that honeymooners will love.

The Gift

Samsung WB850F Smart Camera

When the newlyweds in your life head out for their honeymoon, you can be sure they’d like to pack a camera that will help them record the great memories they’re about to create. Samsung’s WB850F Smart Camera raises the bar for digital photography and shows how impressive photos can be when you use an advanced (yet easy to operate) digital camera. Here are some of the WB850F’s key advantages and features:

  • Enhanced Optics. With a 23 mm wide-angle lens and a 21x optical zoom feature, the WB850F offers shooters the ability to capture panoramic vistas as well as tight close-ups, even when the subject is far away. You get both options in one compact package without the need for additional, bulky lenses.
  • Clarity Under Low-Light Conditions. The WB850F’s CMOS sensor captures images at a maximum of 16 megapixels, which is suitable for creating prints up to poster sizes. Even better, the Back Side Illuminated (BSI) sensor works well in low-light conditions, so even candle-lit shots come out with minimal noise.

  • Remember Where You Were. The WB850F lets you know exactly where a picture was taken because it uses its built-in GPS to tag photos with their location. Shooting at a major monument or landmark? Use the WB850F’s Live Landmark feature to read on-screen information about nearby points of interest while you’re snapping pictures.
  • HD Video and Stills Together. There’s no need to choose between capturing video or taking still photos. The WB850F lets you snap up to six, 10-megapixel still pictures, at the same time you’re recording full HD video.
  • Share Wirelessly. Built-in Wi-Fi lets you upload shots to social networking sites like Facebook, email photos to friends and family, or even share pictures instantly with a television or smart phone any time you’re in wireless range.

The Guide

Take Great Honeymoon Pictures

Equipped with a powerful camera like the WB850F, newlyweds will be ahead of the game, as the powerful sensor and lens will make even off-the-cuff snapshots look great. But honeymooners who want to take the best possible photographs should keep a few key tips in mind:

Leverage Camera Settings First

Honeymoons are just as varied as brides and grooms, so a single camera mode setting doesn’t work for every shot you take. Turn the WB850F’s mode dial to the SCN option and select the appropriate type of photo from the options available, whether it’s a wide Landscape shot, Beach or Snow photo, or an iconic Sunset. The Beauty Shot mode, which automatically retouches facial features, will ensure that everyone looks their best in portrait shots.

Get Out of the Sun

Most honeymoons take newlyweds to sunny destinations. Whether you’re on the beach or not, you’ll get the best photographs if you don’t shoot during the brightest parts of the day. Shoot as much as possible in the morning and afternoon hours, or any time cloud cover provides a break from harsh overhead lighting.

Capture the Couple

So many photographers get absorbed with shooting scenery that they forget to grab pictures of themselves. Everyone will expect to see photographs of honeymooners when the vacation is over, so make sure to get in the picture. You can always enlist a passerby to help out,but if no one’s available, the WB850F’s timer mode gives you up to 10 seconds to pose for a picture

Get a Wide Shot

The WB850F includes a panorama mode that lets you capture an ultra-wide picture of your surroundings, perfect for any honeymoon-worthy environment. Just select Panorama mode from the menu and choose either Live Panorama (to capture a standard panorama), 3D Panorama (to create a three-dimensional panoramic file), or Action Panorama (to capture a series of photos of a moving subject, stitched together into a single image).
