Adding the 4x digital zoom will let you get even closer with a combined zoom of 12x. The FE-20 is also capable of macro photography with a super macro mode that can focus in as close as 2.0" to the front of the cameras lens

• Digital Image Stabilization System

The Digital Image Stabilization utilizes high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds to capture crisp, clear images, preventing low light conditions or fast moving subjects from blurring your images

• Slim & Stylish

The FE-20 is amazingly slim at slightly over 1/2-inch thick, so it fits practically anywhere including a pocket or purse. Now you'll have no excuse for not having a quality digital camera handy so you can capture memories wherever you go

• 2.5" LCD Display with Backlight Boost

Compose, view and share your images even in direct sunlight - the 2.5" LCD display features a Backlight Boost Button that provides an extra-bright image for better outdoor visibility. Furthermore the live, multi-frame window on the LCD includes a Perfect Shot Preview feature that lets you see the effects of exposure compensation before you shoot, so you can always capture the perfect shot

• Preview Feature

Preview the effects of various settings such as exposure compensation before you shoot using a live, multi-frame window on the LCD

• In-Camera Image Editing & Help Guide

Correct shooting mistakes instantly. With the touch of a button, lighten up shadows and remove red-eye so a less-than-perfect shot can still turn out perfect! Learn as you go. The in-camera Help Guides provide a brief description of camera settings and features, conveniently displayed on the LCD, at the push of a button

• My Favorites Album

The My Favorites Album built into the camera stores your favorite images so you can quickly and easily find your favorite images and easily share them with friends and family, anytime

• Built-in and Expandable Memory

The camera comes equipped with 20.5MB of storage capability, so you can start shooting right out of the box, without the need to purchase a memory card. However if more storage capacity is desired, users can purchase xD-Picture cards to provide up to 2GB of additional capacity

• Long-Life Rechargeable Battery

The LI-42B Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery provides long-lasting, economical shooting power so you'll never miss that important shot

• Includes Olympus Master 2 Software

Olympus Master 2 Software provides the ultimate in digital imaging management. An intuitive user interface makes downloading to your computer quick and simple, and images are easily organized by folders or albums and searchable by date in Calendar view. Additionally, with one-click editing tools, such as red-eye removal, images can be touched up before printing or e-mailing. Online support, templates, firmware upgrades and other user services are just a mouse-click away. Use the optional muvee Theater Pack to create professional quality slide shows and DVDs from your pictures using any of several built-in templates
