Product Description
Olympus arouses wonder and amazement once again with this CAMEDIA model. The C-40ZOOM - the four-megapixel sensation from Olympus - delivers a multitude of innovative digital photo functions behind an irresistible exterior - at an equally alluring price. This compact, high-resolution camera fulfils more than the highest expectations and is set to become the undisputed camera star. Olympus masterfully accommodates state-of-the-art photo technologies in an extremely efficient form. Both beautiful and ergonomic, the camera's aluminum-fronted body is so small it can almost hide behind a credit card and fits effortlessly in every shirt or trouser pocket. With the high-quality four-megapixel CCD chip and 2.8x optical zoom (plus 2.5x digital zoom), this model introduces a new dimension of photographic performance into this compact class. And that's not all. To bring the sensational shooting quality of the C-40ZOOM up to the next level, Olympus includes diverse image optimization processes, such as pixel mapping and a noise-reduction function.The technical capabilities are really breathtaking. In addition to the automatic mode for effortless shooting, this compact performer offers many manually adjustable functions so that even the most difficult lighting situations yield superb results. Furthermore, the camera is equipped with a pixel-mapping function. This new technology - which has already been employed in the Olympus flagship SLRs - automatically calibrates the CCD chip and ASIC processor. Pixel mapping produces even sharper contrast, brighter colors and fewer image errors. The C-40ZOOM also demonstrates its technical prowess when shooting with extended exposure times. The number of colored spots that often occur in the very dark areas of an image (referred to as noise) - particularly in low-light shots - are significantly reduced by the noise reduction function developed by Olympus. When printing in large formats, the C-40ZOOM maintains top quality by intelligently recalculating the image data. The camera increases the resolution up to 3, 200 x 2, 400 pixels. The photographer can also shoot more than still images. The C-40ZOOM captures video sequences with sound in the QuickTime Motion JPEG format. Both short movies and still shots can be reviewed on the LCD at the back of the camera immediately after saving. The C-40ZOOM is incredibly user-friendly. Its optimized graphical user interface features a well-structured menu so the photographer easily finds the desired functions.
