The wide-angle lens give allows expanded field of view needed for group shots, ensuring everyone is in frame even in a close-up shot whilst the powerful zoom makes it possible to capture detailed photos even when the subjects are of a distance.
In addition to daily use as a "pan-focus" lens featuring a wideangle, fixed f8 aperture and shallow depth of field, it is compatible with manual focusing using a lever and capable of close-up shooting as close as 30 cm.
It has a 4.8-inch display and can be used for 23 mm wide-angle photos which, according to Samsung, is a wider field of view than the unaided human eye can see without swiveling your head.
