World’s First 7 Megapixel Camera Phone

Samsung SCH-V770

The Samsung SCH-V770 cell phone features a 7MP CCD Camera with Flash, 2.0-inch 16Million-Color QVGA TFD LCD (240×320), MMCmicro and uses the CDMA2000 1x EV-DO (800 MHz) band. Its dimensions are 127 x 52 x 27.3 mm and weighs 180g.

The V770 offers the same level of picture-taking sophistication that a 7 megapixel digital camera does. The camera functions have been upgraded to include a 3x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom with a 1/1.8” CCD. It also supports auto focus and a flash unit that performs optimally for 7 megapixel photographs.

The V770 is designed to enable attachable wide-angle and tele-conversion lenses, the first ever on a mobile phone. The lens can boost the power of the onboard optical zoom to 4.7 times. Moreover, the V770 comes with manual functions of a digital camera never seen on a mobile phone before. The user can manually adjust focus, focal length (7.8-23.4mm), shutter speed (from 15 seconds to 1/2000 th of a second) and AEL(Auto exposure lock). It also enables manual control of exposure using Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and fully manual options
