Camera Overview — Samsung Digimax A502

The Samsung Digimax A502 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 5MP sensor housed in a 1/2.5-inch format. Its maximum photo resolution of 2592x1944 pixels gives users a solid foundation for everyday snapshots, and images can be saved across three quality levels — Super Fine, Fine, and Normal — offering some flexibility in managing storage space on the SD card. The rear 1.8-inch LCD screen with 77,000 dots serves as the primary framing and review tool, while autofocus is handled through a contrast detection system.

The camera includes a built-in flash with five modes: Auto, On, Off, Auto Red-Eye, and Slow Sync, covering most casual shooting scenarios. Power comes from either a CR-V3 battery good for approximately 120 shots, or two AA alkaline batteries delivering roughly 60 shots — a genuinely useful dual-option battery system that makes sourcing power straightforward when traveling. The body is constructed from plastic, measures 97 x 53 x 30 mm, and weighs 175g, making it genuinely pocketable.

Connectivity includes USB for transferring images. There is no image stabilization of any kind, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth. Video capture tops out at 24fps.

This is a straightforward, no-frills compact suited to casual everyday use.

Description — Samsung Digimax A502

The Samsung Digimax A502 is a compact point-and-shoot camera featuring a 5MP sensor in a 1/2.5-inch format, capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 2592x1944 pixels.

The 1.8-inch LCD with 77,000 dots handles both framing and image review.

Autofocus uses a contrast detection system, and the built-in flash covers five modes: Auto, On, Off, Auto Red-Eye, and Slow Sync.

The plastic body weighs just 175g and measures 97 x 53 x 30 mm, keeping it genuinely compact.
