The Olympus FE-250 Digital Camera is incredibly small, but it includes a host of features including a sharp 3x zoom lens, superb capture resolution up to 8.0 megapixels, and a 2.5" high resolution color LCD display. The Camera can capture images at an incredibly fast rate of 5 frames per second, making it perfect for capturing the action during sporting events, and the Digital Image Stabilization Mode freezes the action for crisp, clear images. 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.
