 Olympus Mju 830 digital camera : A premium combination of design and features lend the Olympus Mju 830 irresistible qualities. With the luxury of a 5x optical zoom, photographers can get closer to subjects without having to move an inch. Double protection against blur caused by camera shake, which is more likely at high magnifications, is provided by Dual Image Stabilisation - a combination of high ISO setting and a mechanical image stabiliser. Furthermore, a smart, weatherproof, aluminium exterior that is finished in Starry Silver or Midnight Black serves as a stylish defence against all kinds of unexpected weather. This means that the picture-taking doesn’t have to stop when the sunshine does.

 Olympus Mju 830 - Face Detection
The integration of Face Detection Technology, photos containing faces are all but guaranteed to come out perfectly sharp and exposed. With a sleek, weatherproof aluminium body in Starry Silver or Midnight Black, the Olympus Mju 830 doesn’t shy away from poor weather - it embraces it. Whether exposed to light showers on the hiking trail or a splash from the pool, the Mju 830 camera keeps on shooting through it all. 8.0 Megapixels ensure that even the tiniest of details are captured, while the 5x optical zoom (equivalent to 36-180mm on a 35mm camera) means more shooting flexibility - especially when it’s a challenge for the photographer to move closer to a subject.
Olympus Mju 830 - Shadow Adjustment Technology
Face Detection Technology ensures that subjects’ faces come out stunningly sharp and optimally-exposed. Meanwhile, Shadow Adjustment Technology automatically tailors the exposure settings for shadowy parts of the image so that results are significantly more balanced and realistic. The Olympus Mju 830 camera also lets you say goodbye to unwanted blur thanks to the incorporation of Dual Image Stabilisation: A high ISO setting and mechanical image stabiliser combine to provide double insurance against the effects of camera shake.
Olympus Mju 830 - Shadow Adjustment Technology
A large 6.4cm HyperCrystal LCD on the Olympus Mju 830 makes it a cinch to frame and review shots - even in direct sunlight, with BrightCapture Technology working to improve brightness for images and movies as well as previews on the LCD. And the inclusion of the new TruePic III image processor means more faithful colour reproduction, reduced image noise and a boost in overall camera speed.
Olympus Mju 830 - Scene modes & Software
With 22 scene modes including Night Scene and Candle, it’s no problem to quickly adjust to virtually any shooting situation. 25 languages on board make it possible for just about anyone to navigate the intuitive menu in their native tongue, and internal memory plus an xD-Picture Card slot mean that the user can expand storage at any time. Additionally, the Olympus Master software allows for the organisation and archiving of photos once they’re on a computer - and the included trial version of Muvee Pack can be used to create photo “movies” from images. The chic and weatherproof Olympus Mju 830 becomes available in October 2007.

Olympus Mju 830 - Dual Image Stabilisation
Providing two-fold protection, the special Dual Image Stabilisation function on the Olympus µ 830 helps to avoid image blur caused by camera shake or fast-moving subjects. It combines high ISO values with a CCD-based mechanical image stabiliser, where a built-in gyro sensor detects camera movement and adjusts the CCD accordingly.
Olympus Mju 830 - Face Detection Technology
Via the Face Detection Technology the Mju 830 camera can search for faces in a composition and recognises them as the main subject. It then automatically puts them in focus and optimally adjusts exposure to create an image that’s sharp in the right places and ideally exposed.
Olympus Mju 830 - Shadow Adjustment Technology
Dark areas in pictures are a thing of the past with the Shadow Adjustment technology on the Olympus Mju 830. Exposure gets improved by using a sensor that works much like the human eye, dark parts of a composition (e.g. a shadow under a tree) are identified and the camera then adjusts the exposure settings accordingly for those areas. The result is a more realistic and detailed picture.
Olympus Mju 830 - HyperCrystal LCD
Due to a semi-transmissive technology the Olympus Mju 830 is equipped with a HyperCrystal LCD display, which employs an additional layer at the bottom of the LCD to reflect light from external light sources. This enhances the brightness of the LCD, so even in direct sunlight images are displayed sharply and with three times the contrast of conventional displays. Also, it provides for viewing angles of up to 170° without glare or shadow, so images can be framed from a variety of angles and viewed by several people at once.
Olympus Mju 830 - BrightCapture Technology
The Olympus Mju 830 features BrightCapture Technology, a technology developed for better shooting results in low light situations. It works in two ways: i) All available pixel information from the image sensor is used to provide a view on the LCD that’s up to four times brighter than conventional types, to make framing easy even in dark surroundings. ii) In certain shooting modes sensitivity is increased (resolution is sometimes reduced), which results in well-exposed images with accurate colour reproduction, high contrast and definition, even when not using the flash. Scene modes that benefit from BrightCapture Technology include Candle, Night Scene and Available Light.
Olympus Mju 830 - TruePic III image processor
The Olympus Mju 830 features the newest-generation image processing engine, the TruePic III. This image processor automatically enhances important aspects of image quality including: Colour reproduction (colour range, saturation and brightness), picture sharpness (reduced image noise, improved edge reproduction), as well as providing faster processing speeds.
