[ST1000(CL65)] Let’s make a mobile Internet Photo Center by using GPS and WiFi

Following is a user review about Samsung ST1000 digital camera.

The new concept digital camera ST1000(CL65) from Samsung has many fun functions. I’m going to look at this camera focusing on those functions.

There’s no button on the ST1000(CL65). Everything is controlled by the touch screen. The picture above shows that everything can be done by the touch screen in the ST1000(CL65)

Shot function selection is also chosen by the touch screen such as Dual mode, Video recording mode, Auto Smart, Program mode, and Auto mode.

Selecting the Scene function, the camera automatically sets the optimized values. 13 scenes can be selected, and these scenes are also selected from the Auto Smart mode.

The biggest feature of the ST1000(CL65) is GPS and WiFi functions. Using these 2 functions properly, you can take and transfer pictures through the Internet at any places. It means you don’t need a PC any more to share your pictures with people all around the world.

Let’s take a picture with GPS.

Pushing the GPS button, you can see the setting screen of the GPS. An initial value is off. Let’s set it on.

Turning the GPS function on, you can see it receives the GPS information. It takes some time to receive GPS, so setting the GPS on doesn’t mean it works immediately. However, looking at it after 10~15 sec, you can see the activated GPS button and the current location. From the picture above, you can see the blue letter ‘GPS’ change to ‘On’ and ‘Guro-Gu’.

You’ve taken a picture, so let’s transfer it to a sharing web site through the Internet using WiFi. It couldn’t have been better if it supports 3G networking, but it only supports WiFi, not 3G networking. Wherever you get wireless AP, you can use it. Using Wibro Egg, you can transfer pictures through the Egg in the available region.

 Pushing the Wireless Network button, this menu comes up. Now it supports Internet transfer, Email transfer, transferring between cameras using DLNA protocol, TV transfer, and Bluetooth. Let’s take a look at the Internet and Email transfer.

Selecting the Internet Transfer function, supported web sites pop up such as Picasa web from Google, Facebook, YouTube, and Samsung Imaging. I don’t like that it doesn’t supports Flickr which is the most popular. Now it’s under negotiation, so we need to wait more.
