These frequently asked questions were collated from various channels of Samsungimaging (blogs, youtube, Twitter, etc.). I hope you find the answers helpful!

Many users including Jge*** have asked the question on the difference between camcorders SMX-C10 and SMX-C14.

Don’t’ they look identical!!!!!!!

Major difference is the embedded memory.

While C10 doesn’t have embedded memory, C14 supports embedded memory of 16GB. For C14, you can also use SD/SDHC card to add more memory. Still cut shots are possible with C14, but you cannot with C10. Other than that, all other specs are the same.
You can obtain high resolution image with 30fps 640*480 for SD-VGA and 50fps 720*576 for Sd-D1. They both support H.264HP/MP4 files (except for HD) and support time-lapse recording and Youtube direct upload function.

Hope this answers your question!

I’ll come back with another frequently asked question.

Until then, bye bye~

Review: Easily Share Your Valuable Memory !

Here is a review about Samsung C10 camcorder.

Recent camcorders have been developed much, so some of them have functions that I couldn’t even imaging before. Among them, more practical, smaller and great designed products are the majority of whole sales. Samsung Electronics is releasing the SMX-C10/C14 which is black & red, minimalism, ergonomic, stylish designed, easy sharing, and SD pocket size memory camcorder.

Luxurious and Sharp crystal rose cam

<Appearance>

The SMX-C10/C14 comes with 3 colors such as red/blue/grey, and by adopting high glossy coating, luxurious and sharp feeling stylish design is outstanding. The size is 38.5mm x 56.5mm x 114mm such a small, and the weight is 156g, and including a battery, it’s just 162g of weight.

The design of this product is based on black tone color and metallic coating around lens, the LCD joint and zoom/recording control part. Through that, it emphasizes the simplicity, and the curved line from the front to the top adopts the double coating reminding the piano, and the gradation with red/blue/grey makes this more luxurious. The plastic of grip part reminding an sand blasted aluminum reduces the slipperiness, and the small body provides better grip.

The 2.7 inch LCD provides cool display which couldn’t be seen from minimalism products. The control buttons around the LCD consist of joystick type which is combination of menu and way buttons and recording buttons. On the side of the product coming out when openign the LCD, power, one touch share, display adjustment, Easy.Q, play button, speaker, and USB port are located.

Free and convenient!

<Specification>

Different from former products, the battery cover opens when pushing it to open direction, and after opening the cover, memory and battery slot, power port, and AV port are noticed. This supports SD/SDHC/MMC plus memory which are widely used and cheap. Composite port(Voice left/right 2 lines, video 1 line) normally used is supported for AV port, and the battery time is 160 min continuous recording and 180 min of continuous playing time. The power source is through the power adaptor and also the USB connection to charge it, and using the adaptor, it takes 2 hours to fully charge, while 3 hours and 40 min by the USB. The USB port is normally used USB MINI-B, so with a computer, you can charge it anywhere, so you don’t need to carry the adaptor.

The SMX-C10/C14 takes the advantage of the HMX-R10 and makes up for the weak points. The 25 degree tilted lens makes it up the weak point of the grip by reducing the size and look better. The 25 degree tilted lens is made up for the wrist bent, so it reduces the fatigue on wrist and joint by not bending the wrist, and by securing the view, it’s very convenient to record a video.

Distortion for TV out by resolution

The SMX-C10 only supports a video recording, and the C10 also supports the picture. The H.264 codec has been adopted for videos, so it reduces the power consumption and size of files to provide the best capacity. With 720×480(60i), this supports TV highest/TV high/TV standard, while with 640×480(30p), it supports Web high/Standard. When TV out, many LCD/PDP TV supports 16:9 ratio, so 4:3/16:9 can be selected. Therefore, you can watch not distorted videos on wide TV, and it’s like this supports 10 resolutions.

Video capacity table

Picture size

Setting the high reolution and quality, the SMX-C10 can record 12 hours and 40 min with the 32GB SDHC memory, and when it comes to the SMX-C14 has the 16GB internal memory, so 6 hours and 20 min recording is possible, and on top of that, with the 32GB SDHC memory, it supports 12 hours and 40 min, so up to 19 hours recording is supported. The SMX-C14 has the picture function and supports 4:3 / 16:9 modes. The resolution of 4:3 mode is 800×600 and 1600×1200, and 16:9 mode is 848×480 and 1696×960.

Easy, but different!

<Functions>

This camcorder has normal digital camcorder functions, but it’s not easy to understand all the options and use them. The SMX-C10/C14 supports the iScene mode and EasyQ mode. These 2 functions are to automatically set options according to the situations quickly.

The iScene function can be checked and changed through the men, and when changing the mode by the iScene, if there’s a set value which is the same as the automatically set value, it changes to the automatic set value. The iScene supports 15 modes such as sport, portrait, spotlight, beach, snow, fast movement, food, waterfalls, sunny, cloudy, fluorescent light, light bulb, evening, and deep night. When setting the auto mode, it changes to the optimized mode.

Users can set resolution, 16:9, exposure compensation, backlight compensation, focus, HDIS, effects, fader, wind noise elimination, digital zoom, interval recording, and guideline. The video resolution and 16:9 setting can be set like I explained before, and the exposure compensation can be adjusted to +-2, so it’s convenient to change brightness. The backlight compensation makes you get brighter picture, if objects are taken darkly due to the backlight. The focus can be set to auto, face recognition, and manual setting. The auto sets the focus on the close objects, the face recognition sets the focus when it recognizes objects as a person on the screen by eyes, nose, and mouth, and the manual sets the focus by using the way button located on the left side of the LCD. The HDIS has been improved from the DIS, so more smooth videos can be recorded.

This supports 11 effects such as normal, black and white, sepia, reversion, art, emboss, mosaic, mirror, pastel, whitish, and step printing. For normal video, ‘norma’l, for old style video ‘black and white’, or ‘sepia’, for a reversed video ‘reversion’, and for a video like a comics ‘art’ can be selected. You can choose ‘emboss’ for 3 dimension feeling, ‘mosaic’ for mosaic, ‘mirror’ for symmetry video, ‘pastel’ for pastel feeling video, ‘whitish’ for clean and transparent feeling video, and ‘step printing’ for low frame video.

The fader is fading effect like a TV or a movie, and 3 settings such as beginning, end, and beginning-end are supported. When it’s noisy, setting the wind noise elimination, the noise is reduced. Basically, this supports 10x optical zoom, and setting the digital zoom, up to 1200x zoom is possible.

You have seen sunrise and sunset, and flower blooming with sunshine for many times. The interval recording makes it possible to watch the long time scene such as natural phenomenon. This supports 3 guidelines such as cross, lattice, and TV stable region, so according to angles and output type, users can use the appropriate guideline.

For those who don’t want to use the iscene mode, there’s a Easy.Q mode. This mode is an auto mode of digital camera, sets every option automatically and optimizes them. It’s useful in various situations, because optimized setting is possible. However, once using this option, users can’t change any options. The 2 modes and options can also be applied to the picture function of C14 for great pictures.

Through the mode button located on the side, users can check and edit videos. Through this mode, users can preview the recorded video, and for functions, play setting, delete, protection, storyboard print, print, and sharing functions are supported.

The video which the cursor is located can be previewed, and when selecting it, it’s played on the full screen. 4 options such as whole play, play one, repeat whole, and repeat one are supported. Recorded videos can be edited without any separate program, and the basically provided editing functions are divide and mix. Going into the play mode->menu->edit->divide, you can see the selection screen, and once choosing it, it starts to play, and after pausing, selecting the divide button activated, the division is executed. Executing Edit->Mix, the screen becomes the same screen as the screen making the playlist. And selecting the 2 files, the order is displayed, and the OK button is activated. Once touching the Ok, the mix is started.

The storyboard print randomly takes out 16 scenes from a video, and stores them as a picture. Through this picture, people will know the content of the video without watching the video, so it’s very useful, when uploading a video on the web.

Review: Easy & Minimalizm by SAMSUNG SMX-C10

Here is a review about Samsung C10 camcorder.

Not as big as a digital camera market, the camcorder market has been increased. Unlike a few years ago some manufacturers monopolized, recently various companies have been releasing their new products with distinguished design, functions, and performance. It makes users consider more in a good way. (Personally, I hate monopoly and oligopoly, because hard competition can cause a new technology more quickly at a reasonable price.)

Samsung is one of the manufacturers in the hard competition market. Unlike former years which were not impressive, now they have been releasing great products in quality, portability, functions, and design, and their market share gets higher.

The SMX-C10 which I’m reviewing is good enough to be popular. This reminds me of the word ‘Minimalism’ and with a simple, cute design the ergonomic design is so impressive. Thanks to the reasonable price different from other full HD camcorder, I think it will be very popular.

I usually don’t use the word ‘Cute’, but looking at the C10, I just said ‘This is cute’ without even realizing it. Let’s take a look at the design, function, and qualtiy with the review.

This is the full kit, and we can see various accessories are included. Body, power adaptor, battery, hand strap, USB cable, and AV cable are provided. Besides, quick manual and instruction CD are also included, although they are not in the picture. (This also supports a built-in software. After connecting USB, you can use the Intelli Studio program.)

@ When it comes to the SMX-C10 which I’m reviewing, it doesn’t support the picture function. However, when it comes to the SMX-C14, it supports not only the picture, but also 16GB internal memory, so it’s more convenient to use.

With 38.5 x 56.5 x 114mm of size and 156g of weight, the portability is really great. (I think this is the biggest advantage of the C10. Former products also had good portability, but when holding them, I felt like a little bit big, but the C10 is enough to be held in one hand. This product has the utmost portability, I can say.)

The design is also good enough to catch eyes. It succeeds the ergonomic design of the R10 and has a good grip. On top of that, by adopting high glossy UV coating, it also has high grade feeling. (Especially, the finishing is also satisfactory, so it’s not giving any feel of low price range products at all. I d really like to recommend this product to users who want cute and elegant pocket camcorders.)

Like the picture, this product will come with red, blue, and grey colors, and the double molding which Samsung concentrates on is also very impressive. (This is a high-tech molding technology putting 2 plastic sticks together, and the colors become different depending on the angle of viewers. I know someone working for this molding technology, and I heard he was trying his best to get the better quality for months 24 hours a day 7 days a week. This is good looking, but hard to be created.)

This is the front, and we can see the Samsung lens supporting 10x optical zoom (1200x digital zoom). (Unlike other products, the scratch protecting lens is located, so without the lens cap, the lens is safe from pollution or damage. You don’t need to worry about a lens cap every time when recording.) On the bottom, 2 microphones are located to allow users to record voice more clearly.

@You can see the direction of the lens is different from other products. The 25 inclined lens of the C10 prevents your wrist bent. Unlike other shooting type products giving fatigue on wrist, the C10 minimizes the fatigue with the ergonomic design.

It’s the right side of the product. We can see it has the swivel LCD to set angles freely. (Thanks to the adjustable angle, users can shoot with any angles comfortably.)

The 230K pixels 2.7 inch TFT LCD is installed. (By supporting LCD compensation function, users can check the recording status under the sunlight.) Unlike other high-end products, it doesn’t support the touch screen, but with the jog button on the side as in the picture, there’s no inconvenience to select a function or play videos. (I’m going to explain more, but anyway the UI of the C10 is so simple. Although it doesn’t support the touch screen, it’s very easy to control the product.) @ You can see the Menu button and recording button are also attached. When it comes to the jog button, it supports normal menu selection and zoom function also.

It’s the right inside, and various buttons are located. Including the power button, play, Easy Q, display, and share button are here, and you can see mini 5 pin port and speaker. (Unlike other product needing an exclusive charger, the C10 supports USB charge function. With the great compatibility, it can transfer data and be charged with any PC using the mini 5 pin.

It’s the back of the product. Unlike other products using a cap which is not fixed, this mode adopts the sliding cap. (It might be small, but I was satisfied with this very much.) Battery status LED and recording button are located, and battery/memory slot, power slot, and AV port are also located inside. @Unlike the C14 supporting 16GB, the C10 doesn’t have internal memory. However, it supports up to 32GB SDHC, so I don’t think there will be any inconvenience to watch high quality videos.

@ Charging & Recording & Playing time

It’s the left side, and you can see the strap ring. (Like the picture, you can use the hand strap provided, or you can buy another necklace to hang on your neck. It’s small and light enough to be hung on your neck.

It’s the top of the product, and you can see there’s a zoom lever. (When holding it, your index finger is located on it, so you can easily adjust the zoom. Like other high grade products, you can adjust the zooming speed depending on the intensity of your finger, so you can record better videos.)

It’s the bottom of the product, and you can see there s a mount hole for tripod connection. (2 holes are provided for exclusive tripod of camcorder.)

Most of the time, I felt a camcorder filling my hand. However, when it comes to the C10, I could feel a little space, because it s so small.

The ergonomic design is so outstanding (Like the picture, different from other shooting type products making wrist bent, with this camcorder, you can record without wrist bent. Those who record for a long time will not feel any fatigue on your wrist, I think.) Due to the small size, the grip was so satisfactory. (When it comes to the R10, I felt a little burden when holding it, but the C10 is very good to hold.)

These are accessories included such as AV cable, hand strap, power adaptor, USB cable, and battery
