The super-slim body of the new Olympus FE-3000 digital camera is full of smart digital technology.
The FE-3000 features 10 megapixels of resolution, a 2.7-inch LCD screen, and offers features like easy-to-use Intelligent Auto for quick, hassle-free shooting; Advanced Face Detection for sharp portrait pictures; In-Camera Help Guides for the ultimate learn-as-you-go digital experience; VGA Movie Recording with Sound; a rechargeable lithium-ion battery for added convenience; and an LCD backlight boost for viewing images in bright light.
Olympus FE-3000 Highlights Intelligent Auto Thinks for You While the new FE-3000 cannot file your income tax return for you, it can perform numerous challenging tasks, and is as smart as it looks. Thanks to Intelligent Auto, the FE series cameras automatically identify the scene you are capturing (Portrait, Landscape, Night + Portrait, Macro, Sports) and automatically adjust the camera’s settings to capture the best quality results.
In Control with Pre-Set Shooting Modes If you do not want Intelligent Auto to make the decisions for you, the FE-3000 offers numerous pre-set Shooting Modes, such as Sports, Fireworks and Night + Portrait. It also offers VGA-quality video and audio, which enables users to shoot and share movies on their TV or on the Web. Plus, with the Olympus Master 2.0 software, you can easily upload your movies to YouTube to share them with the world. The FE-3000 also features 16 Shooting Modes. This includes three for underwater shooting with the camera’s optional housing.
Image Stabilization for Virtually Blur-Free Photos Digital Image Stabilization freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds to help prevent blurry images often caused by a moving subject.
Advanced Face Detection Advanced Face Detection 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 subject is moving, the camera continuously tracks your subject's face without having to press the shutter button. The FE series cameras can detect up to 16 individual faces in one shot.
Perfect Fix In-Camera Editing The FE-3000 offers in-camera editing features such as resizing and cropping, which enable photographers to edit images after a photo has been captured.
Versatile Memory All Olympus digital point-and-shoot cameras accept xD-Picture Card media. Starting with products available in August 2008, they also accept microSD memory cards to capture images. The new FE series cameras offer the flexibility to use either xD-Picture Card or microSD memory cards, which is just one more advantage of Olympus point-and-shoot cameras.
Easy Operation and Help Guides The new FE series cameras feature enhanced In-Camera Help Guides that make digital photography simple and fun for users of all ages and skill levels. In addition to the Help Guide that displays a brief description of camera settings and features on the LCD, all three cameras allow consumers to easily adjust ISO and white balance settings using the Program Auto mode. Additionally, Exposure Compensation enables users to preview and select various exposure effects on a live, multi-frame window on the LCD before snapping the shot. This smart feature allows users to see precisely what the image will look like when adjustments are made, ensuring they are capturing the exact image desired. Program Auto and Exposure Compensation are great modes that enable novice users to get results like the pros while learning about the effects of different photography techniques.
