Unbeatable
Do what you will to the 10.1 Megapixel µ 1050 SW: drop it, wash it or shoot with
it in below-freezing temperatures - the possibilities are virtually endless.
Shockproof to 1.5m**, waterproof to 3m*** and freezeproof to -10°C, this
extension to Olympus’ most robust compact line-up sports a chic new design that
makes it even more fun to take with you everywhere you go. A newly-developed TAP
control interface lets users trade the press of a button for the tap of a
finger: adjust settings and review images on the µ 1050 SW’s extra large
6.9cm/2.7” HyperCrystal II LCD by applying a simple tap or two to the exterior.
The integrated 3x optical zoom (38-114mm*) guarantees safety in action with its
use of an inner-folded light path - one of the keys to this camera’s uniquely
compact design.
Technologies galore
With the µ 1050 SW, users can concentrate on getting great shots without
distractions. Dependably sharp shots are assured every time thanks to Digital
Image Stabilisation which automatically adjusts ISO levels to compensate for
blur at slow shutter speeds. Meanwhile, integrated Advanced Face Detection and
Shadow Adjustment Technology detect human subjects (up to 16 faces) and shadowy
parts of an image to optimise the exposure and sharpness - so results come out
closer to what the human eye sees. What’s more, the effect of various settings
on the outcome - such as exposure compensation - can be previewed with the
Perfect Shot Preview function. Incorporation of BrightCapture Technology means
that it is always easy to frame and review shots on the LCD, even in low light.
And the TruePic III image processor provides triple enhancement to image results
with improved noise reduction, significantly faster image processing speeds and
more realistic reproduction of colours.
All the trimmings
There’s a µ 1050 SW for everybody. With a unique exterior available in an array
of exciting colours including Dolphin Grey, Pacific Blue and Midnight Black,
this model lets users express themselves like never before. Plus, the
availability of menus in 39 different languages ensures that virtually anyone
across the world can operate the µ 1050 SW in their native tongue. What’s more,
the inclusion of a bundled attachment, photographers can store their memories on
microSD Card in addition to xD-Picture Card.
