With Face Recognition AE and AF, exposure and focus are automatically keyed to faces in the frame.

Face Recognition AF and AE
With the Face Recognition AF and AE function, the Samsung i85 enables the user to take better portrait pictures more easily. The function detects faces and automatically focuses on them; the brightness of the faces is adjusted optimally for beautiful portrait pictures.

i-Movie (MPEG-4, SVGA quality)
With new technology, it is possible to record movies in SVGA quality (800 x 592), which provides wider images than the VGA (600 x 480) size. As a result you can enjoy bigger movies on a PC as well as on TV.

ASR (Advanced Shake Reduction) function
The ASR technology prevents the degradation of image clarity and color which is sometimes found in flash photography. With ASR, the effects of image blur are reduced in lower light conditions. You can even take well exposed, sharper pictures in a low-light condition without using a flash at all, guaranteeing brighter and more natural pictures.
