Camera Overview — Samsung HZ15W

The Samsung HZ15W is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 12MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor. It features a 3.0-inch fixed LCD display with a sharp 460,000-dot resolution, giving you a clear view for composing shots and reviewing images in the field. The autofocus system combines contrast detection with face detection AF, covers 9 focus points, and supports subject tracking — a solid set of tools for keeping moving subjects sharp without manual intervention.

Image stabilization is handled optically (OIS), with digital IS also available as a supplementary option. The camera shoots at up to 3 frames per second in burst mode and offers three color profiles: Standard, Vivid, and Monochrome. On the video side, it records at up to 30fps in 8-bit color.

Storage is flexible, supporting SD, SDHC, and internal storage. Connectivity includes USB and a Micro HDMI output for playback on external displays. The body is constructed from plastic composite, measures 105 x 61 x 37 mm, and weighs 249g — compact and pocketable.

The SLB-10A battery is rated for approximately 270 shots per charge. There is no weather sealing, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth.
