00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:09,080
so today on my video blog we're going to be checking out the Samsung flash Cam

2
00:00:03,719 --> 00:00:10,960
SMX f30 so this is a small small hold

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:14,839
and point and shoot shoot and share memory camcorder there shoot and share

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:19,160
that's what I was looking for so it is YouTube friendly which is one of the

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:24,480
only things they actually list on the box here it has a 3-hour long time

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:28,640
battery face detection focus and time-lapse recording and then again they

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:32,439
tell you okay it's YouTube friendly so let's get this thing open I actually

8
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:36,600
know very little about this but I'm looking for a camera that can focus a

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:40,120
little bit better close up um we're shooting this video with the G7 but I'm

10
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:44,320
actually going to shoot the next one with this camera just to see how well it

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,920
performs when you upload directly to YouTube which as you can tell from the

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:52,359
box is one of the features that they're saying is very important about it so

13
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:58,199
let's start our unboxing here we've got the Samsung users manual disc inside so

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:03,280
there you go I think this might actually be two discs I don't know it's not it's

15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:07,040
just a thick heavy one or something okay so then you've got a what's included so

16
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:10,280
you want to make sure that all the stuff that's on here is actually in there so

17
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:16,080
this seems to be kind of like a yeah it's a quick start guide there we go so

18
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:21,439
comes out some more oh that's a very long quick quick guide awesome so it

19
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:27,600
tells you what's included uh selecting the operating mode how to prepare it for

20
00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:31,200
functioning before recording and

21
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,720
then getting the data actually off it

22
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:38,119
okay so that's great to have a quick start guide like that and then we've got

23
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:40,000
what's next here uh deer valued customer

24
00:01:38,119 --> 00:01:44,600
oh how to contact their tech support okay that's good too you know we usually

25
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:47,759
do sort of more uh computer oriented stuff rather than consumer electronics

26
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:53,399
so this is there's a lot more handholding in here so here's a why to

27
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:55,159
register your product and uh pre prepaid

28
00:01:53,399 --> 00:02:00,439
sort of thing to register your product that's great okay so inside we will find

29
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:05,600
the power adapter there you go you'll need that for power and you will also

30
00:02:02,759 --> 00:02:08,640
find an adapter for composite output so you can plug that into the camera so you

31
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:13,800
can actually monitor what you're doing right off the camera and I'm assuming

32
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:18,319
you can also play it back on your TV and then in here we've got a USB cable so

33
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:23,400
this is for transferring data off the camera and then here we've got our

34
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:29,480
battery this is passed okay it didn't fail awesome that's good and then here

35
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:34,280
is oh one of those stupid little things for the USB cable that you'll probably

36
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:39,480
not install Okay so let's bring out the camera itself now in terms of General

37
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:47,879
specs this camera shoots in a widescreen format so it's uh 720 by 48 no sorry

38
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,640
it's 480 720 by 480 yep so that's uh not

39
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:55,800
720p it's actually 480p and it has according to our specs

40
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,440
okay it has a 42x in t Zoom here so here

41
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:03,519
it's listing the specs again okay it's YouTube friendly thanks for that it's

42
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:06,400
got got a Schneider Cru knck lens and

43
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:11,440
then you've got like a handy little pley uh handstrap here that is adjustable

44
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:16,640
there we go then at the back you'll find your record button your power button so

45
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,879
you hold that to turn it on just right here there's a little open thing so

46
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:24,120
that's where you'll find your power in there's your your AV out so that was the

47
00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:30,920
composite video and audio and then a USB cable here you can change your mode from

48
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:32,360
uh camcorder to camera to playback and

49
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:37,519
then here I guess you can oh you can take a photo and then here's your zoom

50
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:43,120
and inside you will find the reasonably large LCD it's not a touchcreen so your

51
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:47,439
all your functionality is going to be over here accessing the menu and

52
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:52,519
everything over here is your ey check uh brightness and contrast and easy C so

53
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:59,120
