Olympus FE-340 Digital Camera (Red)
The Olympus FE-340 Digital Camera is an ultra-compact digital camera with a host of features including a sharp 5x zoom lens, superb capture resolution up to 8.0 Megapixels, and an impressive 2.7" high resolution color LCD display.
The Camera includes the innovative Face Detection Technology, which tracks faces within the frame and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures, and the Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) Mode uses higher ISO Settings to freeze the action for crisp, clear images.
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.
- 8.0 Megapixel Resolution
- The high-resolution, 8.0 megapixel image sensor of the FE-340 delivers superior quality images and larger sized prints without sacrificing detail.
- 5x Optical Zoom Lens
- The high quality 5x optical zoom lens (36 - 180mm equivalent in 35mm photography) delivers sharp, clear images and 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.
- Face Detection System with Smile Shot
- The Face Detection System that is incorporated into the FE-340 tracks your subjects' smiling faces within the frame and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures. The camera's Smile Shot feature tracks your subject's face to detect a smile and automatically fires off three consecutive shots so you never miss that perfect smile.
- Digital Image Stabilization
- Digital Image Stabilization helps prevent low light or fast moving subjects from blurring your images. Get sharper images with high ISO and fast shutter speeds.
- 19 Shooting Modes
- The camera includes 19 pre-programmed shooting modes that cover many common shooting and lighting situations including Portrait, Landscape, Beach & Snow and Sunset, providing you with the ability to take perfect shots with the minimum of fuss and effort.
- High Quality Video Recording
- The FE-340 includes a high quality movie mode that captures VGA resolution video at a rate of 30 fps with sound, so you can use your compact digital still camera to produce superb video clips, and leave the camcorder at home.
- Large 2.7" LCD Display with Backlight Boost
- Compose, view and share your images even in direct sunlight - the extra large, high-resolution LCD 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.
- 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 Feature
- The in-camera My Favorites album stores your favorite images so you can quickly and easily find your favorite images and easily share them with friends and family, anytime.
- Expression Edit
- Now you can really turn a frown upside down! The Expression Edit feature uses Face Detection technology, post shot, to find a subject's face and modify their facial expression. Four different expressions can be previewed in a multi-frame window on the LCD, and users can select their favorite or the funniest expression at the touch of a button.
- 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.
