Olympus MJU 1030

HyperCrystal II LCD
In addition, a 10.1 Megapixel sensor delivers superb images any place or any time, while an extra large 2.7”/6.9cm HyperCrystal II LCD provides a wider viewing angle plus a brighter view – even in direct sunlight. The new LI-50B lithium ion battery is also included to extend shooting fun even further. A high-grade, fully-transmissive technology used in LCDs, which employs an additional layer at the bottom of the LCD to reflect light from external light sources. This enhances the brightness of the LCD, so even in direct sunlight images are displayed sharply and improved contrast compared to that of conventional displays. Also, it provides for particularly wide viewing angles without glare or shadow, so images can be framed from a variety of angles and viewed by several people at once.

Digital Image Stabilisation
With advanced features such as Face Detection, Shadow Adjustment and BrightCapture Technology, the Olympus Mju 1030 SW delivers perfectly exposed and focused shots, plus better results in low light. Digital Image Stabilisation is additionally available to protect against blur caused by handshake or fast-moving subjects. And an incredible 38 languages on board allow users across Europe to navigate this cameras' intuitive menu in their native tongue. For added fun up to 40m below the water’s surface, underwater case PT-043 is available as an optional extra for the Olympus Mju 1030. A special shooting mode, where the camera automatically increases ISO sensitivity to allow shorter shutter speeds - which helps to avoid image blur caused by camera shake or by fast-moving objects.

BrightCapture Technology
A technology developed for better shooting results in low light situations. It works in two ways: i) All available pixel information from the image sensor is used to provide a view on the LCD that’s up to four times brighter than conventional types, to make framing easy even in dark surroundings. ii) In certain shooting modes sensitivity is increased (resolution is sometimes reduced), which results in well-exposed images with accurate colour reproduction, high contrast and definition, even when not using the flash. Scene modes that benefit from BrightCapture Technology include Candle, Night Scene and Available Light.

Olympus Face Detection Technology
A technology that searches for faces in a composition and recognises them as the main subject. It then automatically puts them in focus and optimally adjusts exposure to create an image that’s sharp in the right places and ideally exposed.
