Olympus [mju:] 780
London, 5 March 2007 – Get ready to experience compact digital photography in a new light! With an attractive metal body in silver or black and a 5x optical zoom, the Olympus [mju:] 780 bestows photographers with both beauty and brawn. The powerful lens lets users zoom in for candid shots at a party, or frame nature scenes with added ease and flexibility. Integration of Dual Image Stabilization, combining a mechanical image stabiliser with high ISO settings, ensures images are doubly protected against unwanted blur caused by fast-moving subjects or camera shake – a feature that’s especially handy for shooting at higher magnifications. In addition, its weatherproof* construction mean the [mju:] 780 can be used in all manner of situations – rain, snow or shine – so photographers can keep shooting while others have to stop. Packed with an ample 7.1 Megapixels, this high-performance, stylish all-rounder is just what you’ve been waiting for.
A clever package
Finished in a choice of stylish silver or black, the metal-bodied [mju:] 780 offers endurance and power in one solid bundle. This weatherproof* model not only can handle unexpected raindrops, but rewards photographers with picture-perfect results every time. Incorporation of a 5x optical zoom (equivalent to 36-180mm) provides great versatility to frame subjects, while Dual Image Stabilization ensures double-barrelled protection against the effects of camera shake.
Brighter and better in low light
With the [mju:] 780, there’s no need to fear the dark. The integration of BrightCapture Technology makes framing shots a cinch by providing a brighter view on the 6.4cm HyperCrystal LCD. In addition, the ISO value is increased to 1600 while retaining full resolution. Pictures taken in low light situations are therefore considerably brighter and clearer than is customary – so it’s easy to capture the ambience of faces around a campfire or atmospheric indoor shots in great quality. This technology is applied in various scene modes plus for movie recording (30fps). For added comfort in the dark, illuminated buttons are included to help improve shooting and menu navigation. Shadow Adjustment Technology optimises the exposure of scenes with shadowy or other dark areas – so the results closely resemble that which the human eye sees.
