The Olympus Stylus 790 SW Digital Camera combines light, durable body construction with shock-absorbing materials and waterproof construction, making it the ultimate pocket camera. It incorporates a high quality 3x zoom lens with a capture resolution of 7.1 megapixels to provide beautiful images.
It is loaded with features to make shooting easy and fun. Twenty-seven shooting modes are built into the camera to cover many common shooting situations including Candle, Sports and Underwater modes. Users are therefore ready to take perfect shots with a minimum of fuss and effort. The camera also features 14MB of built-in internal memory plus an xD-Picture Card slot that allows you to expand the memory to over 2GB, providing enough storage capacity for hundreds of images.
Incredibly Durable
The Stylus 790 SW is designed to go just about anywhere. It is shock resistant to withstand a drop of up to five feet (MIL-STD-810F Drop Test Compliant), it is waterproof up to 10 feet without a case (JIS Class 8), it is winterized to perform at below-freezing temperatures ((MIL-STD-810F Lo Temp Compliant to 14°F/-10°C), and it is also crush resistant. Of course, its airtight construction makes the camera impervious to dust, dirt and other particles as well. Shoot without worry even in harsh conditions; and when the camera gets dirty, just rinse it off with water.
Takes Pictures Underwater
With the inclusion of four preset underwater scene modes, the Stylus 790 SW is the perfect camera for the pool, waterpark or snorkeling in the ocean. The Stylus 790 SW also features a water-repellant lens coating to prevent water droplets from forming on the lens so you get crystal-clear shots no matter how wet the shooting environment.
7.1 Megapixel Resolution
The high-resolution, 7.1-megapixel image sensor of the Stylus 790 SW 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. Adding the 5x digital zoom will let you get even closer with a combined zoom of 15x.
Digital Image Stabilization
Digital Image Stabilization freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds that prevent blurry images often caused when you or your subject is moving.
Perfect Shot Preview
The Perfect Shot Preview mode enables users to preview and select various photographic effects on a live, multi-window screen before snapping the shot, ensuring users are capturing the exact image they want. It is an ideal way for novice users to learn about the effects of different photography techniques, such as zoom, exposure compensation, white balance and metering.
TruePic III Image Processor
The exclusive Olympus TruePic III image processor was originally developed for the demanding performance of Olympus Digital SLR (single lens reflex) cameras, and produces crystal-clear photos with truer colors and speeds up overall camera performance so you get the best results.
Face Detection Technology
Face Detection Technology tracks faces within the frame and automatically focuses (Face Detection AF) and optimizes exposure (Face Detection AE) for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures. Even if your subjects are moving, the camera continuously tracks your subjects' faces without having to press the shutter button.
Shadow Adjustment Technology
Shooting outdoors in bright daylight can be tricky because of the extreme contrast between dark shadowed areas and bright sunlight areas - while the human eye is capable of detecting the nuances between dark and light and all the details in between, image sensors traditionally have not been quite as sensitive. The Stylus cameras address this challenge head-on with a new Shadow Adjustment Technology, which compensates for extreme contrast where the shadow areas are underexposed and lack visible detail.
Bright Capture Technology
Olympus' Bright Capture Technology makes it possible to clearly compose and capture subjects on the LCD in low light, and allows high sensitivity settings and rapid auto-focus to be used for fast-action photos to be captured with low levels of available light. Plus, Bright Capture Movie lets consumers record the moments in the dark even after the candles are blown out.
Easy Shooting Modes
The camera includes 27 pre-programmed shooting modes that cover many common shooting and lighting situations including Beach & Snow, Available Light Portrait, Sunset and Under Water Snapshot, providing you with the ability to take perfect shots with the minimum of fuss and effort.
TV-quality Video Recording
The Stylus 790 SW 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.
2.5" Hypercrystal LCD
Compose, view and share your images even in direct sunlight - the large, high-resolution Hypercrystal LCD features a wide viewing angle (176 degrees, left to right or up and down) and anti-glare technology that uses natural light to brighten the LCD.
In-Camera Editing
With in-camera editing features such as red-eye fix, resizing, adding frames or text, and color or saturation adjustments, users can edit photos anywhere with ease - touch up or embellish photos without a computer.
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.
