Description
As its name implies, the L74 Wide specializes in taking wide-angle shots. Its 3.6x zoom lens starts at a 28mm-equivalent angle of view, letting you fit more into your shot, which tends to be much more useful in everyday situations. For example, a 28mm-equivalent lens can get more people into a group photo, or frame a tall building without forcing you to step back as far as you would with a 35 or 38mm-equivalent lens. In an attempt to help keep your shots steady, the L74 Wide includes Samsung's Advanced Shake Reduction, an electronic image stabilization system that boosts ISO sensitivity and speeds up the shutter for high-speed and zoomed-in shots.
The solid-feeling L74 Wide is actually rather slim, measuring less than an inch thick. A 3-inch touch screen LCD takes up the entirety of the camera's back. It serves as the camera's primary control interface.L74 Wide offers a unique feature, a useful little on-camera guidebook called the World Tour Guide. While it contains information for countries and cities all over the world, it's far from comprehensive; it mostly lists landmarks and places to visit, with a small snapshot and a short text blurb to go with each place.
