| Olympus µ (mju) 810 Digital Camera |
With BrightCapture Technology and the ability to compensate for camera shake the
Olympus µ (mju) 810 is ideal for photography in near dark situations, which presents
something of a dilemma to photographers – as the camera looks so good that they’ll
want to keep it in the light where it can be seen.Olympus BrightCapture Technology is a must for those who want to capture the ambiance of a night time scene, without spoiling the mood by using flash. It increases the camera’s sensitivity to light allowing perfectly exposed shots to be recorded using natural light, even when the sun has gone down, and at the same time brightens the camera’s LCD screen to make it easier to frame photos. The slim line stainless steel body of the µ (mju) 810 is weatherproof*, protecting its hi-tech interior from water, dust and snow, which might come in handy as first deliveries are expected in March - in good time for April showers! The 8 million pixel Olympus µ (mju) 810 will be priced at around £330, available from all good camera dealers. How do they manage to pack so many features into such a slim camera? The Olympus µ (mju) 810 has the smallest body in its class, it snugly fits into just about any pocket, letting the power of 8.0 million pixels be taken anywhere. In addition to this superb image resolution, a bright 3x optical zoom enhances shooting flexibility by allowing users to move in on more distant subjects without having to budge an inch. To ensure easy framing, plus exciting viewing of images already taken, the camera is equipped with a 230,000 pixel, 6.4cm LCD screen bright enough to use even under the dimmest lighting thanks once again to BrightCapture Technology. Night time shooting becomes significantly easier with the Olympus µ (mju) 810 as BrightCapture Technology increases the brightness of the high-contrast LCD, making it up to 4x brighter than conventional screens. Also enhancing overall image quality is a special Digital Image Stabilisation Edit function, which compensates for blurry images caused by camera shake or a moving subject, to deliver a great result even if shot under difficult conditions. A choice of 20 scene modes, including Sports, Landscape and Portrait can be selected on the Olympus µ (mju) 810. These help to make life easy for the novice and more experienced photographer alike, by automatically adjusting the camera settings to the best combination for the given situation, ensuring that every photo opportunity can be capitalised on. Meanwhile, for photography aficionados, a Histogram function provides a quick and convenient way to evaluate exposure levels both when the photo is being composed and during playback. A movie function with sound that records sequences in high-quality resolution is also included. Once taken, photos and movie clips are saved to either the camera’ internal memory, or removable media in the shape of optional xD-Picture Cards which are currently available up to a maximum of 1GB capacity. The µ (mju) 810 is compatible with the new Olympus High Speed cards that have data transfer rates 2-3 times faster than conventional cards. A lot has been packed into the little Olympus µ (mju) 810, and should the photographer ever be at a loss as to which of the astonishing number of features they should use, they can rely on the built in Guide Function to explain the various menu choices directly on the LCD. The µ 810 delivers outstanding results come day or night, rain or shine. It will be available in camera stores from March 2006.

About Olympus
In Greek mythology, Mt.Olympus is the home of the twelve supreme gods and goddesses. Olympus
was named after this mountain to reflect its strong aspiration to create high quality, world
famous products.
"Olympus" has been used as a trademark since the time of Takachiho Seisakusho, the predecessor
of Olympus Corporation.
In Japanese mythology, it is said that eight million gods and goddesses live in Takamagahara,
the peak of Mt.Takachiho. The name "Olympus" was selected as the trademark because Mt.Olympus,
like Mt.Takachiho, was the home of gods and goddesses. This trademark is also imbued with the
aspiration of Olympus to illuminate the world with its optical devices, just like Takamagahara
brought light to the world.
Takachiho Seisakusho was renamed Takachiho Optical Co., Ltd. in 1942 when optical products
became the mainstay of the company. In 1947, the name was changed again to Olympus Optical
Co., Ltd. in an attempt to enhance its corporate image.
And in 2003, the company made a fresh start as Olympus Corporation, to show its willingness
to establish a dynamic corporate brand by unifying the corporate name and the well-known
brand.
In recent years, Olympus Corporation has focused on "Opto-Digital Technology" as its core
competence, technological strengths that competitors cannot easily imitate, to maximize
corporate value and to become one of the top optical instrument manufactures.
