Samsung Camera has launched the Digimax V6, a 6-megapixel digital camera — the latest addition to its Digimax V Series of compact digital cameras.

The V6 offers a number of features, including Schneider optics, support for nine different power sources, three customizable profile settings and a super macro feature that lets the photographer shoot subjects as close as six centimeters in manual mode. Also included are 12x zoom (3x optical, 4x digital), auto and manual shooting modes, and the ability to record up to two hours of audio.

The convenient shooting-mode dial allows photographers to choose from multiple shooting modes, including easy, program, portrait, night scene and movie clip; voice recording and aperture; and shutter and manual. With the four-way key and OK button, photographers can navigate the option menu. The brightness of the 1.5-inch color TFT LCD monitor is adjustable to ensure easy viewing in any lighting conditions.

The V Series supports multiple file formats, including TIFF, JPEG and DPOF for still images as well as AVI (MJPEG) for movie clips and WAV for audio files. The V6 has an estimated retail price of $399.
