The works

With its 7x optical zoom (37-260mm*) the µ 1060 gets you closer to your subjects, expanding photographic possibilities - no matter if enjoying an outdoor party with friends or exploring a foreign city. An attractively-designed metal exterior, available in Starry Silver, Midnight Black or Cyan Green, exudes elegance and makes it fun and easy to slip it in or out of any handbag or pocket. When it comes to framing and reviewing shots, an extra-large 7.6cm/3.0” HyperCrystal LCD guarantees grand depictions. Dual Image Stabilisation ensures that shots come out sharp - even at high magnifications. Thanks to ample ISO settings, even shots in dimmer environments such as a romantic moonlight dinner are possible. And for extreme-action situations, this model provides an impressive 9fps** of sequential shooting power.

Automatic perfection

Still puzzled by endless settings combinations? The µ 1060 will take it from here. Incorporating Advanced Face Detection Technology, Shadow Adjustment Technology and the new Intelligent Auto mode, this clever model will help users get results like a pro - no matter their skill level. Meanwhile, Perfect Shot Preview lends a degree of creative control by letting the user preview various effects right on the camera's LCD. And other important image aspects such as natural colour reproduction, image noise reduction and faster processing times are all significantly enhanced by the powerful TruePic III image processor.

A natural

With the µ 1060, anyone can snap beautiful shots. Rely on the in-camera help guide to instantaneously explain various features and functions in the camera menu. Illuminated buttons serve to ease use of the camera in dim environments. Meanwhile, 39 languages are available to ensure that virtually anyone can operate this model in their native tongue. Internal memory plus an xD-Picture Card slot - also doubling as a microSD Card slot when used with the included attachment - offers plenty of options when it comes to expanding storage space. And the bundled Olympus Master software promises to make managing and editing your photos on your home computer as fun and easy as ever.
