The box of the WB550 is 17cm × 13.5cm × 6.5cm. The phrase “Capture your world, like never before” is impressive. At the back of the box, feature and functions of the WB550 are simply explained in 5 languages.
The features of the WB550 are explained as icons such as 12.2M pixels, 24mm ultra wide, optical 10x zoom, DIS (Optical and software type), various image styles, smart photo, H264(1280×720), built-in HDMI, and so on.Let’s take a look at the package of the WB550
The box of the WB550 is 17cm × 13.5cm × 6.5cm. The phrase “Capture your world, like never before” is impressive. At the back of the box, feature and functions of the WB550 are simply explained in 5 languages.
At the other side, you can see the Eco mark. Looking at the box of the WB550, it’s made of paper. To be honest, I though the box is not that good, but I decided to forget it, after seeing the ECO mark.
The WB550 is made of slippery material on the whole, but for better grip, rubber bar (?) is attached at a grip part, so you can take picture more stably. This is changed part from the previous WB500. And the sticker of the WB550 is attached. The lens of the WB550 is a protruding type, so when turning it on, the lens is protruded. It takes about 1.5 sec.
It’s the most important Schneider lens. It shows 24mm ultra wide angle and optical 10x zoom. The phrase “VARIOPLAN 10×ZOOM 4.2-42mm 1:3.3-5.8 24mm Ultra Wide Dual IS” under the lens is impressive.
It’s the top of the WB550. Speaker, power button, zoom T/digital zoom lever, zoom W/division lever, and mode dial are located. The blue lamp is on the power button, and it gives dimming feeling. I think buttons are arranged well. However, personally, the mode dial of the WB550 is a bit small and located inside, so it’s not easy to rotate it.
It’s the back of the WB550. This has 3 inch 230K pixels QVGA LCD screen. Compared with the 2.7 inch screen of the WB500, it’s a little bigger. The back of the WB550 is quite simple.
Camera status lamp, command lever, Fn/Delete button, menu button and 5 function button, play mode button, and E (Effect) button are located. Each button is made of metal, so gives luxurious feeling. All buttons are kind of small, but there’s no inconvenience, because they are clicked well.
Like the WB500, the WB550 also has a command lever. This is used to adjust exposure and manual operation with left/right adjustment. It’s useful to take picture, but kind of small to control. The Fn button is an option setting menu such as AF region, photometry, white balance and face recognition.
We’ve looked at the appearance of the WB550. Talking about the design of the WB550, the WB550 is not a cute camera. This can appear rough. But this doesn’t mean the design is bad. However, it has strong points in functions and performance, so the WB550 is a charming camera, I think. Thank you.
