LG ‘Viewty’ – the high feature camera phone for professional quality
photos now available in stores
Seoul, Korea, October 24th, 2007 -- The new professional-level camera phone from LG Mobile,
the LG ‘Viewty’ (model: LG-KU990) is now available in major European countries today. LG
Electronics, a worldwide technology leader in mobile communications unveiled the LG ‘Viewty’,
the first handset in LG’s new line of high technology category of handsets at IFA 2007 in August.
The handset boasts a number of ‘world first’ features never seen before on a mobile handset.
Combining sensational style with ultimate functionality, this 5 mega pixel high tech handset
includes manual focus, which is the first time this feature will launch globally. With a manual
option, the camera focus can be set on any point at the users’ convenience giving a perfect
picture every time. When taking photos in poor light or shaking moment, users can also benefit
from ISO800 & SmartLight™ and one touch Image Stabilizer for bright and clear pictures.
The world's first LCD full touch screen was introduced by LG with the launch of the ‘PRADA Phone
by LG’, which now has been advanced with LG ‘Viewty’ by adding a touch signal to allow the user
to confirm proper functioning of the touch screen. Once a picture has been taken, users can
instantly view and edit their image on the 3 inch full LCD touch screen with its handwriting
editing function before it’s sent it to others to share that special moment. The full screen
enables users to enjoy high quality DivX video files in wide screen format.
For those looking to bring their captured moments to life, the LG ‘Viewty’ brings another world’s
first on a mobile with the 120fps video recording function. Taking videos has never been easier
and now they can be shared with the world, with a single-click connection through HSDPA 3.6
high speed internet capability to YouTube.
A jog wheel placed on the back of the handset allows for quick scrolling and searching; and when
playing music or videos it can turn the volume up and down, fast-forward or rewind and zoom in
and out. Users can easily select the modes – ‘Camera’, ‘Video’, ‘Album’ with the 3-step module
key.
Dr. Skott Ahn, CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company says “The launch of LG
‘Viewty’ shows LG’s commitment to providing mobile users with high feature-led technology in
the palm of their hand. Consumers purchasing camera phones are demanding higher than ever
quality images and with LG ‘Viewty’, LG has responded to this demand. LG ‘Viewty’ is re-defining
the standard in the camera phone market, providing first class features and allowing consumers
to enjoy viewing and sharing their photos.”
The LG ‘Viewty’ will be available for purchase from today from major retail outlets across Europe.
