Olympus FE-240

It's hard to believe this ultra-slim camera packs a powerful 5x optical zoom. Even more unbelievable is that the FE-240 also packs Bright Capture Technology , and a host of other features, in its sleek and compact frame.

FEATURES

The Olympus FE-240 delivers extraordinary magnification power in a surprisingly compact form. Its 5x zoom lens enables users to close in dramatically on any type of action from afar. Yet despite incorporating this high-performance attribute, the slim and stylish metal body – which is available in the choice of silver or black – still easily fits into virtually any pocket. Furthermore, this 7.1 Megapixel FE model boasts exceedingly easy operation and features a large 6.4cm LCD.

The FE-240 has a decided advantage – a 5x zoom lens (equiv. to 38-190mm on a 35mm camera) in an incredibly slim metal body, matched with a resolution of 7.1 Megapixels. It is therefore perfect for those who want to enjoy power, compactness and quality.

Like all FE series cameras, this model stresses the ease of use factor through the 'one button, one function' design principle. In addition, 15 scene modes even allow beginners to achieve great results. Main functions are conveniently controlled via a mode dial that lets users choose between the eight different programmes, including a High ISO Setting mode with ISO 1000 and movie shooting. Furthermore, a total of 25 languages on board means the FE-240 will feel right at home in any corner of Europe.

An xD-Picture Card slot, in addition to the internal memory, makes for shooting fun without limits. Finally, the included Olympus Master software makes editing and archiving pictures on the computer a cinch.

5X OPTICAL ZOOM.

Get 60 percent closer than 3x zoom! You'll be closer to the action with the precision-crafted Olympus lens designed to deliver sharper, clearer images from farther away.

BRIGHT CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY.

Keep it bright even in low light. When shooting or recording in certain scene modes, Bright Capture allows you to clearly preview your shot on the LCD and capture bright, vivid images in low light situations — without a flash.

DIGITAL IMAGE STABILIZATION MODE & EDIT.

Prevent and correct blurry images without a computer! Digital Image Stabilization Mode freezes the action for crisp, clear images. Digital Image Stabilization Edit uses built-in gyro sensors to track camera movement so you can fix blurry images right in the camera.

16 SHOOTING MODES INCLUDING MOVIE WITH SOUND.

Preset shooting modes optimize the camera's settings for any shooting situation. Choose from Portrait, Night Scene, Underwater, Movie and more.

TRUEPIC TURBO IMAGE PROCESSOR.

TruePic TURBO TM delivers truer colors and quicker start-up, shot-to-shot and shutter release time so you always get the best results.
