Samsung Cameras has announced the release of the S85 digital camera featuring an 8.2MP resolution and a super-sharp 5x optical zoom lens. The Samsung S85 includes Samsung's Intelligent Face Recognition Technology, which detects the subject's face, automatically adjusts auto focus and auto exposure. The AF function instantaneously recognizes the faces of subjects and accurately focuses on them. The AE function then takes over, setting the appropriate exposure to ensure the highest image quality.

Fourteen scene modes facilitate picture-taking in different shooting environments. Modes included are: Night, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Macro, Text, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach and Snow, Self-Shot, Food, and Cafe.
