As always at this point, I recommend always to buy a matching envelope for all cameras and camcorders. So a highly technical part that you like anywhere entrains out should also appropriately protected against wear and tear. Also sand on the beach is not good for a camcorder.
Unpacking, charging the battery, switch on, set the date and Co and you're ready to go the movies.
The menu navigation is self-explanatory and also a new entrant has afloat out, how to deal with the Samsung F80 camcorder. Most of the settings you get by trial and sample movies quickly under control.
If all else fails, you still have a little mini-guide with the description of the main features. And if anything else fails, you should take the enclosed CD containing the complete instruction manual for assistance. But really is not necessary because the operation of the Samsung F80 camcorder is really easy.
The optical 52x zoom works quite slowly and it takes a while until the Samsung F 80 the image has again brought into focus. Something Remedy can create a rapid, at least Class 6 SD Memory Card. It is advisable to take at least a 16 GB card. Better yet would be a 32 he.
When filming or zoom of a stationary object, it would be useful if a tripod was used. A standardized connection is available on the camcorder and good Stands do you get for little money in the accessory trade.
A nice gimmick of both Samsung F80 is the lapse, with his help, you can record all operations and play afterwards shortened. Sunrise, opening a flower or the mole, which is building a hill just in the lawn.
Does my a steady hand you also get a steady shot, if not indeed helps the built-in image stabilizer, but he also can not perform miracles. You should leave it turned on him in any case.
A manual white balance should be carried out before each shot, at a different location or in changing light conditions. Especially at lower lighting it is needed.
Solar and daylight shots outdoors are naturally better than shots in closed spaces with moderate light. But here can certainly be good results.
About the sound quality can not complain, at this price it is a good average.
Of particular note is the built-in device software with the even PC owners can not equip their self-made movie with effects. For other users, I think is a post processing of the films make more sense on the PC.

The Samsung F80 HD Camcorder has my a very good entry-level camcorder for small money. Naturally, even with smaller losses, in terms of quality of the films. However, for the holidays, the excursions to capture the growing up of children on film, for Easter, Christmas, birthday parties and so on it is sufficient. Who decided more wants, should also engage much deeper into their pockets and buy a semi-professional camcorder.
