Features
Specifications

The Olympus FE-240 Digital Camera is incredibly small, but it includes a host of features including a sharp 5x zoom lens (about 60% more zoom than most digital cameras), superb capture resolution up to 7.1 megapixels, and a 2.5" color LCD display. Although the FE-240 is a sleek, slim-bodied digital camera is smaller than a deck of cards, it incorporates some powerful features to help you get the best shot possible. 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 16 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-240 delivers superior quality images and larger sized prints without sacrificing detail.

• 5x Optical Zoom Lens: The high quality lens has a surprisingly long 5x optical zoom, especially considering the compact size of the FE-240, and it delivers sharp, clear images that brings you closer to the action without taking a step. Adding the 4x digital zoom will let you get even closer with a combined zoom of 20x.

• Slim Design: The super-slim, all-metal body of the FE-240 is less than an inch thick, and about the size of 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-240 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 of the FE-240 camera.

• Easy Shooting Modes & My Favorites Feature: 16 Preset shooting modes optimize the camera's settings for any shooting situation. Choose from Portrait, Night Scene 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 FE-240 camera to a PictBridge compatible printer and print colorful pictures.
