| Olympus µ 830 Digital Camera |
A premium combination of design and features lend the Olympus µ 830 irresistible
qualities. With the luxury of a 5x optical zoom (equivalent to 36-180mm on a 35mm
camera), 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. And by integrating
Face Detection Technology, photos containing faces are all but guaranteed to come
out perfectly sharp and exposed.Shoot where, when and how you want With a sleek, weatherproof* aluminium body in Starry Silver or Midnight Black, the µ 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, this model keeps on shooting through it all. 8.0 Megapixels ensure that even the tiniest of details are captured, while the 5x optical zoom (equiv. to 36-180mm) means more shooting flexibility – especially when it’s a challenge for the photographer to move closer to a subject. Fully-equipped 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. This model 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. A large 6.4cm HyperCrystal LCD 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. So easy 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 µ 830 becomes available in October 2007.

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.
