SH100 Wi-Fi Camera with Galaxy S Remote Control App Launches from Samsung
We aren’t typically in the business of reporting on digital cameras here at Phandroid (unless of course they come attached to an Android phone), but the SH100 from Samsung gets special attention due to its remote Wi-Fi capabilities. Aside from being able to upload photos and videos directly from the camera, a remote control app for the Samsung Galaxy S line of phones will allow you to use the camera without actually touching it. Control zoom, snap shots, and preview the results all remotely.
Of course, the camera and phone would need to be on the same network, and the phone has a built in camera, so we will scratch our heads for a bit on this one. Samsung had the following to offer:
The Wi-Fi capability on the SH100 also allows you to use your smartphone as a remote control and viewing device for your camera. If you’re shooting over a crowd at a concert, you can enable the Remote Viewfinder function, meaning that you can hold your camera high over your head while you see a preview of the picture in real time on your phone screen. It’s also ideal for taking self shots as you can zoom in and out using the 5x optical zoom, and access basic menu functions including parameters and shooting modes. When you’re happy with the shot, you can operate the shutter remotely too, and the camera will record the GPS information for photo geo-tagging.
I’m sure someone in the comments will call me out as stupid and supply a perfectly logical application aside from the ones listed above, such as remotely spying on people or otherwise being a voyeuristic creeper.
