Choosing the right compact digital camera has never been easier, thanks to
the new Olympus pocket-size FE-Series cameras that make capturing brilliant
images as simple as point and shoot. The FE-340 delivers high-tech features
without being bland -- this stylish, sleek, and downright fun-to-use model makes
everyone who has it the life of the party.
The FE-340 offers 8-megapixel resolution, Face Detection, Digital Image
Stabilization, Perfect Shot Preview and three in-camera Help Guides so you can
learn on the go and capture all of life's special moments in brilliant detail at
the touch of a button.
Powerful optics
Great images start with great optics. The new FE-340 has a 5x optical zoom made
from precision-crafted lenses that put you 60 percent closer to the action than
3x.
Face Detection
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.
Digital Image Stabilization Mode and Edit
Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity
and fast shutter speeds to prevent blurry images often caused by a moving
subject. The FE-340 also features Digital Image Stabilization Edit, which uses a
built-in gyro sensor to track camera movement and enables users to fix blurry
images right in the camera.
19 pre-set shooting modes featuring Smile Shot
The FE-340 features Smile Shot, which tracks your subject's face to detect a
smile and automatically fires off three consecutive shots so you never miss that
perfect smile. This feature is great for parents hoping to capture babies'
hard-to-predict smiles, for example. Numerous pre-set shooting modes are also
included, such as Sports, Fireworks and Night Scene with Portrait. The camera
also offers VGA-quality video and sound, which enable users to shoot and share
movies on the big screen or on the Web.
Expression Edit
Now you can really turn a frown upside down! This fun feature uses Face
Detection technology to edit a subject's facial expression after the image is
captured. Four different expressions can be previewed in a multi-frame window on
the LCD, and users can select their favorite expression at the touch of a
button.
Perfect Shot Preview
The new FE-340 offers Perfect Shot Preview mode, which enables you to preview
and select various photographic effects on a live, multi-frame window on the LCD
before snapping the shot. This feature allows users to see precisely what the
image will look like when adjustments are made, ensuring users are capturing the
exact image they want. It is a great way for novice users to learn about the
effects of different photography techniques, such as exposure compensation,
white balance and metering.
Perfect Fix in-camera editing
Life does not always go according to plan. Olympus helps by providing
technology, which enables users to edit images in-camera after the photos have
been captured. The FE-340 offers Red-Eye Fix and Lighting Fix, plus Digital
Image Stabilization Edit, which sharpens unanticipated blur.
Expanded Control and Easy Operation
In some situations, consumers may want more creative control when composing
images. Located on the FE-340's mode dial, Program Auto Mode easily adjusts ISO
and white balance. Additionally, three in-camera Help Guides make digital
photography simple and fun for users of all ages and skill levels. A tutorial
"shooting guide" educates users on tips for achieving specific effects, such as
"shooting into backlight" and "brightening subjects." The shooting guide not
only provides detailed descriptions for various situations and environments, it
also automatically sets the camera with the touch of a button, making the
transition from learning to taking great pictures instantaneous.
TruePic III image processor
The FE-340 features Olympus' exclusive TruePic III image processor, which was
developed for the demanding performance of professional Digital SLR (single lens
reflex) cameras. Olympus' enhanced TruePic III image processor produces
crystal-clear photos using all the pixel information for each image to deliver
superior picture quality with more accurate colors, true-to-life flesh tones and
faster processing speeds. TruePic III also captures crisp, clear images at high
ISO settings, which are traditionally associated with increasing image noise or
producing grainy photos.
Olympus Master 2 software
Olympus Master 2 software provides the ultimate in digital imaging management.
An intuitive user interface makes downloading to your computer quick and simple,
and images are easily organized by folders or albums and searchable by date in
Calendar view. And with one-click editing tools, such as red-eye removal, images
can be touched up before printing or emailing. Online support, templates,
firmware upgrades and other user services are just a mouse-click away. Use the
optional muvee Theater Pack to create professional quality slide shows and DVDs
from your pictures using any of several built-in templates.
