 In addition, it includes two aspherical lenses to reduce distortion, plus an ED element which helps to minimise chromatic aberration, an effect that often occurs when shooting in the tele setting. In combination with a 4 million pixel CCD, this high precision optical system ensures pictures of great quality, even when printed in larger sizes. Thanks to the PictBridge standard, direct printing can be carried out with compatible printers, eliminating the need for a PC.
This new Olympus model offers a broad palette of shooting modes, including Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority and Full Manual settings. The camera's range of scene programs (Portrait, Self Portrait, Night Scene, Sports, Landscape and Landscape with Portrait) proves extremely convenient when there is less time for adjustments. Thanks to the USB 2.0 AutoConnect interface, pictures and movies can be downloaded quickly and easily to the computer.
A host of additional features includes a hot shoe for an external flash and an optimised electronic viewfinder for 100% precise framing. Its 240,000 pixel resolution means that a clear picture is shown every time. As an added convenience, all activated settings are displayed in the electronic viewfinder, allowing you to keep your eye on the subject at all times.
