Connectivity
Software
The Samsung NV7 comes with Digimax Master Software that allows users to view and edit their pictures and movies. The software can also extract text from the Text Recognition scene mode and create Word documents from it like a scanner.
 
Jacks, ports, plugs
There is only one jack on the bottom of the camera and it connects to a cable that has many functions. From that port, the NV7 has USB 2.0, AV-out, and DC-in functionality. In the setup menu, the audio can be set to output at European or North American standards (PAL or NTSC).
 
Direct Print Options
Users can choose whether to imprint pictures with the date or date and time within the setup menu. But creating a print order doesn’t happen on this camera. The Samsung NV7 has a PictBridge option in the playback mode, but selecting it doesn’t do anything unless connected to a compatible printer.
 
Battery
The Samsung NV7 comes with a skinny SLB-0837 rechargeable battery that outputs 860 mAh. The battery can be charged in the camera with the included DC-in cable or in an optional camera cradle. There is a battery indicator on the screen, but is seems to stay full for a long time, then go from half full to completely empty in about three minutes. When it finally runs out of juice, it doesn’t give much warning. It blinks a “Low Battery” message two or three times before shutting down.
 
Memory
The NV7 has 19 MB of internal memory, which won’t even store a dozen full-resolution pictures. Users will want to stock up on some form of memory. The camera accepts SD or MMC cards up to 2 GB.
 
Other features
Voice Recording Mode – Within the shooting menu is a recording feature that can either allow voice memos to be captured with pictures or activate a voice recording mode. The voice memo function records up to 10 seconds of audio after every picture that is taken. The voice recording mode records only monaural audio up to an hour.
