enabling beautiful, detailed pictures – no matter if rain or shine. This 3x zoom camera

significantly reduced, ensuring that photographers will easily be able to record those
special moments when fast, spontaneous action is required to capture the shot. And with
its slim-line metal body, the µ 760 slips easily into any pocket so that it is sure to
be taken along everywhere. Therefore, if it’s in your life, it’s sure to be in your
Olympus µ 760.Looks great from every perspective Smartly designed and sporting colours that include Light Silver, Dark Blue and Ruby Red, the µ 760 radiates individual style that grabs attention. While the compact dimensions and elegant contours of its weatherproof* metal body make it a pleasure to have and hold, its performance attributes ensure excellent photo results. A precision 3x optical zoom (37-111mm on a 35mm camera, 1:3.4-5.7) gives photographers the flexibility they need to bring subjects in close and a resolution of 7.1 Megapixels ensures plenty of detail-capturing power. In addition, the integration of Dual Image Stabilization takes a double-barrelled approach to defend against unwanted blur through the combination of a mechanical image stabiliser and high ISO values. See and capture more in low light Incorporation of BrightCapture Technology guarantees the capture of great atmospheric shots, even in situations where there is only little light available. The µ 760 features special scene modes that increase the ISO value to 1600 – so the flash needs to be used less often – while retaining full 7.1 Megapixel image quality. This technology is also applied in the movie mode to considerably extend the opportunities for capturing the magic of movement at night. Furthermore, BrightCapture Technology makes it a breeze to frame shots on the large 6.4cm LCD with 230,000 pixels, as views are around four times brighter than on a standard LCD. Simply elegant, elegantly simple The µ 760 matches its versatility and good looks with ease of use. This ergonomically-formed camera offers a choice of 23 scene modes that cover many common shooting situations including Candle, Sports and three Underwater modes.

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.
