Camera Overview — Samsung NV40

The Samsung NV40 is a slim, metal-bodied point-and-shoot camera built around a 10MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor. Designed for casual photographers who want a pocketable option without sacrificing image quality, it pairs a compact form factor with a practical feature set. The camera supports an ISO range of 80 to 3200, giving it reasonable flexibility across a variety of lighting conditions.

Its autofocus system combines Contrast Detection with Face Detection AF, making it straightforward to capture portraits without manual intervention. The 2.5-inch TFT LCD display resolves 230,000 dots, providing a clear and usable framing and review experience. Image stabilization is handled digitally, keeping the camera slim while helping reduce the impact of camera shake in lower light.

For storage, the NV40 accepts SD and SDHC cards as well as internal storage, offering everyday flexibility. The metal body keeps the overall weight at just 133g with dimensions of 94.5 x 59 x 18.8mm — genuinely pocketable. A built-in flash covers basic low-light scenarios, and a selection of eight color profiles — including Normal, Vivid, Retro, and Forest — gives photographers some creative control over the final look of their images.

Video capture tops out at 30fps in 8-bit color. USB connectivity is present, while Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not included.
