OLYMPUS m 790 SW

Shockproof. Waterproof. Funproof.
Boasting a tough body, the 7.1 Megapixel µ[mju:] 790 SW has the ability to go where other cameras can’t. Whether at the beach, doing a round of snowboarding or navigating the hazards of a kids’ party, this camera withstands it all. For shooting in up to 40m depth, the optional PT-041 Underwater Case provides additional waterproof protection.
The µ[mju:] 790 SW matches brawn with performance. For versatility in locating and framing subjects, it features a 3x optical zoom (equiv. to 38-114mm). The ability to recognise human faces as the main subject of a composition through implementation of Face Detection Technology ensures optimal focus and exposure in the areas you want. What’s more, the µ[mju:] 790 SW applies innovative technology to deliver stunningly realistic results through the lightening of shadowy areas such as shade under a tree or backlit subjects. And ensuring photographic settings are tailored for most shooting situations, multiple scene modes are available, including four specifically made for use underwater.
