Features
Specifications

The Olympus FE-230 Digital Camera is incredibly small, sleek, slim-bodied digital camera that is smaller than a deck of cards. However it incorporates a host of powerful features to help you get the best shot possible, including a sharp 3x zoom lens, superb capture resolution up to 7.1 megapixels, and a 2.5" color LCD display.

The Digital Image Stabilization Mode freezes the action for crisp, clear images, and the Digital Image Stabilization Edit feature enables you to fix blurry images right in the camera. When shooting or recording in certain scene modes, the Bright Capture feature allows you to clearly preview your shot on the LCD and capture brighter, more vivid images in low light situations. Furthermore, this camera is incredibly easy to use with a simple One-Touch Operation design, and 19 incredibly useful preset scene modes. There is also a built-in Help Guide right in the menu in case you need assistance with the cameras menus and icons.

• 7.1 Megapixel Resolution: With a capture resolution of 7.1-megapixels the FE-230 delivers superior quality images and larger sized prints without sacrificing detail.

• 3x Optical Zoom Lens: The high quality 3x optical zoom lens delivers sharp, clear images and brings you closer to the action without taking a step. And adding the 4x digital zoom will let you get even closer.

• Slim Design: The super-slim, all-metal body is less than an inch thick, and is smaller than a deck of cards. Furthermore, the easy-to-use design, and One-Touch operation allows you to start shooting great pictures right out of the box.

• Superb Image Processor: The TruePic TURBO Image Processor incorporated into the FE-230 produces truer colors and speeds up overall camera performance so you get the best results

• Pixel Mapping & Noise Reduction: Automatic Pixel Mapping (APM) available via menu setting identifies any failed pixels that may accumulate over time and compensates for them automatically. Furthermore, to maintain high image quality, noise reduction is set automatically at shutter speeds of 0.5 second or longer.

• Digital Image Stabilization: Freeze the action and capture crisp, blur-free images, thanks to Digital Image Stabilization Mode, or use Digital Image Stabilization Edit which utilizes a built-in gyro sensor to track camera movement so you can correct blurry images right in the camera.

• Bright Capture Technology: Bright Capture Technology lets you clearly and brightly preview your shots on the LCD Display and take pictures in low-light situations without a flash.

• 2.5" LCD Display: Pictures are easier to frame, shoot and share on the bright, high resolution, 2.5" LCD display.

• Easy Shooting Modes & My Favorites Feature: 19 Preset shooting modes optimize the camera's settings for any shooting situation. Choose from Portrait, Night Scene, Underwater, Movie and more. Use the My Favorites to store and easily access your favorite images, while using minimal memory

• Built-in Help Guide: Check out the brief descriptions of each function using the Built-in Help Guide and find the best way to take a picture for any situation.

• High Capacity Rechargeable Battery: The included rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery provides 500 shots on one battery charge, so you can take that road trip you've been thinking about, and leave your charger at home.

• Simple Connection to Your PC: Quickly download pictures to a computer to view, edit, and email with Simple PC Connect. The Auto-connect, USB mass storage interface and USB 2.0 High speed interface makes it easy and fast

• Direct Printing: Turn pictures on the camera into vibrant pictures in your hands with One-touch Easy Printing. A single cable is all it takes to connect the camera to a PictBridge compatible printer and print colorful pictures.
