20x Wide-Angle to Super Telephoto Zoom Lens
The 20x super-telephoto zoom brings you closer to the action and extends your creative reach; at the same time, the wide-angle lens allows more in your frame. This powerful, compact lens gives you unmatched shooting versatility for sports, travel or everyday photography. Add to this the 5x Digital Zoom and you now have an incredible total zoom of 100x.
10.0 Megapixel Effective Resolution
The SP-570 UZ incorporates a high-resolution CCD with over 10 million pixels which provides superior image quality and permits users to make larger sized prints without sacrificing detail.
Dual Image Stabilization
Take crisp, clear, blur-free images every time with Olympus' Dual Image Stabilization. This unique capability utilizes a powerful 2-in-1 anti-blur solution, including an optically based, Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization which compensates for camera shake and Digital Image Stabilization which can freeze action by utilizing high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds.
High Sensitivity and Fast Shutter
The SP-570 UZ offers ISO 6400 for superior low-light and fast-action photography. Combine this with shutter speeds of up to 1/2000 second and you'll capture fast-action photos, at the game, in the gym or under the stadium lights, with ease.
Manual Exposure Capability
The SP-570 UZ is as versatile as you want it to be. It allows full Manual Exposure settings and manual focus for advanced creative control.
Perfect Shot Preview
Using a live, multi-frame window on the LCD, the Perfect Shot Preview feature lets you preview the effects of various settings and then select those settings that will capture the perfect shot.
TV-quality Video Recording
The SP-570 UZ includes a high quality movie mode that captures broadcast quality VGA resolution video at a rate of 30 fps with sound, so you can use your compact digital still camera to produce professional video clips, and leave the camcorder at home.
Built-in and External Flash
Quickly and easily attach an external flash to the Hot Shoe so you can take sharp, clear images under challenging lighting conditions. An optional wireless flash is also available.
Face Detection Technology
The Face Detection system automatically focuses on your subjects' faces and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures.
Fast Burst Capability
Shoot fast-action sequence shots like a pro. At the click of a button, you can take several shots in rapid succession to capture every moment of the action. With a burst rate of 13.5fps and Pre-Capture, (3MP) you can freeze moments in time to get the shot you want.
TruePic III Image Processor
Developed for the professional Digital SLR, the TruePic III Image Processor delivers superior images with true-to-life color, sharper detail, and less noise.
Record JPEG & RAW Files
Shoot using JPEG format for no-hassle sharing, printing, and viewing, or shoot using the RAW format for highest image quality and greatest level of post-shot image control.
2.7" HyperCrystal LCD
With improved contrast and color reproduction, the HyperCrystal LCD offers more accurate, precise image display, as well as an extra-wide viewing angle and enhanced visibility in direct sunlight. The LCD also allows you to access the camera's Shooting Guide, utilize the Histogram for better exposure, and the Frame Assist feature so your images will have good balance.
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 SP-560 UZ camera to a PictBridge compatible printer and print colorful pictures.
