Camera Overview — Samsung 301

The Samsung Digimax 301 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built for casual, everyday photography. At its core sits a 3MP sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 2048x1536 pixels, delivering straightforward still photography without complex configuration. The camera offers an ISO range of 100 to 400, giving users some flexibility across different lighting conditions.

The autofocus system relies on contrast detection, with a basic AF implementation and no selectable focus points — keeping operation simple and accessible. A 1.6-inch TFT LCD display with 117,600 dots serves as the primary composition and review screen, complemented by an optical tunnel viewfinder as an alternative framing option. The built-in flash supports multiple modes including Auto, On, Off, Auto red-eye, and Slow Sync, covering the most common flash scenarios.

Storage is handled via SD card or internal storage. The body is constructed from plastic, weighing just 137g and measuring 98 x 51 x 38 mm, making it genuinely pocketable. Power comes from two AA batteries, with NiMH cells recommended.

Video recording is available at 15fps in Standard color profile with 8-bit bit depth. There is no image stabilization of any kind, and no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity. USB connectivity is present for image transfer.
