OLYMPUS µ[mju:] 810 DIGITAL

Design-oriented photography under any light conditions
The Olympus µ [mju:] 810 delivers cutting-edge technology in an ultra-compact, weatherproof*, stainless steel body that is resistant to water, dust and snow. Performing as good as it looks, users benefit from a precision 3x zoom lens and can call on 8.0 million pixels for images that sparkle with sharpness and detail. Furthermore, thanks to BrightCapture Technology, outstanding results are assured – even in low light situations. Framing in the dark is also made easy with an exceptionally bright LCD. And the µ [mju:] 810 even has a solution to image blur by easily compensating for the negative effects of camera shake.
 
Boasting the smallest body in its class, it’s hard to imagine how Olympus has managed to pack so much technology inside the µ [mju:] 810. It snugly fits into just about any pocket, letting the power of 8.0 million pixels to be taken anywhere. In addition to the superb resolution, a bright 3x optical zoom enhances shooting flexibility by allowing users to close in on far away subjects. And ensuring easy framing plus exciting viewing of images, the camera is equipped with a 230,000 pixel, 6.4cm LCD.
 
Thanks to BrightCapture Technology, night time shooting is improved and framing is significantly easier with a high-contrast LCD that’s up to 4x brighter than conventional screens. Also enhancing overall image quality is a special Digital Image Stabilisation Edit function. It compensates for blurry images caused by camera shake or moving subject to ensure good results even if shooting under difficult conditions.
 
To help users get the most out of virtually any photographic opportunity, a choice of 20 scene modes, including Sports, Landscape and Portrait, ensures the camera automatically adjusts to the best settings for the corresponding situation. Meanwhile, for more experienced photographers, a Histogram function provides a convenient way to evaluate exposure levels both during framing and playback.
 
The µ [mju:] 810 impresses in terms of usability too, offering a Guide Function explaining the various menu choices directly on the LCD. A movie function with sound that records sequences in high-quality resolution is also included. In addition to the internal data storage, the camera possesses an xD-Picture Card slot – which is also compatible with the new Olympus High Speed cards that have data transfer rates 2-3 times faster than conventional cards.
 
Combining astonishingly compact dimensions with state-of-the-art technology and a stylish, weatherproof* design, the µ [mju:] 810 delivers outstanding results day or night and will hit stores in spring 2006.
