Power and Versatility

The 3.2 Megapixel CCD (effective) on this little camera gives you detailed prints that can be blown up to 8" x 10" and larger. Of course, you can also capture smaller pictures that are perfect for emailing. With its range of resolutions, you can get exactly the image you need. There's even an Optimum Image Enlargement Mode, which interpolates a 2048 x 1536 image up to 3200 x 2400, for extra-large prints. ED glass lens elements ensure crisp detail and vibrant color from edge to edge, even at full zoom. The powerful 10x optical zoom lens gives you the flexibility to get exactly the shot you want, from sweeping landscapes to extreme close-ups. There's even a 3x digital zoom to give you the added range of a remarkable 30x total seamless zoom.

Storage Story

The Olympus xD-Picture Card is compact for smaller and more stylish digital devices. It's powerful for amazing memory capacity now, and increased memory capacity in the future. It's also durable, making it a media you can trust with your most valuable data. If you're using non-xD devices, you'll be happy to know that a number of adapters will be available, including a CompactFlash Adapter, SmartMedia USB Reader/Writer, and a PCMCIA/PC Card Adapter. Olympus xD-Picture Cards are also the only cards that support the Panorama function found on most Olympus digital cameras. An Auto-Connect USB port on this camera connects to nearly any USB computer. No software, no hassle. It's also compatible with both Windows XP and Mac OS X.

Improving Your Image

This camera has technology that will help you get outstanding images. Olympus TruePic technology is a process that uses all the pixels captured by the CCD at all resolutions to create an image. The technology also smoothes the image to make it clearer, most apparent when lower pixel resolution images are captured by the camera. Six easily selectable scene program modes, including landscape, portrait and more, make it easy to get expert results at the press of a button. You can even create your own programs with four customizable My Modes. You also get full exposure control. You can adjust the aperture and/or shutter speed, or enjoy automatic simplicity, whatever the situation and your comfort level call for. You also have some shooting effects that you can use as you take your shots, including black & white, sepia, white board, black board, and 2-in-1 shooting mode.

Balancing Act

When shooting in mixed lighting, iESP white balance detects the differences in color temperature between the various light sources and adjusts appropriately to capture more natural colors such as skin tones and shades of green. Pre-set white balance settings (Daylight, Overcast, Tungsten and 3 Fluorescent settings) let you get a more precise white balance under various light sources. When the most accurate color and white balance is required, the camera offers a simple-to-use touch manual white balance to set the camera, even in the most difficult lighting conditions.

Range of Resolutions

The 3.2 megapixel CCD on this camera makes for some pretty incredible pictures. But there are situations where you'll want to capture smaller images, and that's where the numerous adjustable resolutions of this camera come in handy. If you want the absolute highest quality of image, you can use the Optimum Image Enlargement mode mentioned before to achieve an incredible 3200 x 2400 image. You can capture JPEGs at different sizes, including 2048 x 1536, 2048 x 1360 (3:2 format), 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, 1024 x 768, and 640 x 480. The smaller images are great for emailing to friends and family, and the range gives you plenty of options for various needs. The QuickTime movie mode also has a couple of options. It gives you 33 seconds at 15 fps in 320 x 240 HQ mode, or 148 seconds at 15 fps in 160 x 120 SQ mode. So get the camera that gives you more, and be ready for any situation.
