S85 features Samsung's SHD lens and brings a 5x optical zoom (35mm film equivalent: 38-190mm) right to shooters' fingertips. With a focus range that starts at 1 centimeter, the S85 also allows users to experiment with macro photography and get close up with subjects, such as flowers, and capture crisp, clear images with super detail. For fast-action photography, the S85 offers a maximum shutter speed of 1/2,000 second as well as a motion capture feature that allows users to take up to seven pictures a second.
The S85's 2.5-inch LCD screen let users frame their subjects and review, edit, and customize their images right on the camera. A special effects "E" button gives users instant access to a host of creative controls, including options for resizing and rotating images, adjusting brightness, contrast, and saturation levels, fixing red eye, and manipulating color such as saving captured images as B and W, Sepia, Red, Blue, Green, and Negative. The S85's "Fun" feature also allows users to take their creativity a step further. This unique feature allows shooters to create a composite photo by saving up to four individual images as one, highlight an image by sharpening the foreground and softening the focus of the background, as well as customize their saved images with photo frames, stickers of various shapes, and cartoon text bubbles.
