Finally: A truly competent
travel companion at capturing stills and full HD movies. The SZ-30MR does it
all. Enjoy SLR-like image quality in an ultra-compact, lightweight body with
amazing features like 16 Megapixel backlit CMOS sensor for better images with
less noise, 9fps high-speed continuous shooting, a powerful 24x wide optical
zoom and hand-held starlight mode for high performance in low light shooting
situations. Plus, simultaneously capture full 16 Megapixel still photos and
1080p Full HD movies - you won’t miss a single moment. This multi-purpose
camera proves that you can chronicle all your adventures like a true travel
journalist.
With a jaw-dropping 24x wide optical zoom (25-600mm equiv.), the
state-of-the-art SZ-30MR flagship breaks all the rules in the compact category.
And it breaks records too. It’s the first camera ever to offer simultaneous
recording of beautiful 1080p Full HD movies and 16 Megapixel still photos.
Thanks to Olympus’
ingenious Multi Recording (MR) feature, you can shoot in high resolution with
different combinations of recording modes all at the same time, then share your
shots in the best format for different media. If you’ve ever shot a scene one
way, then (when it was too late) wished you’d done everything differently,
you’ll appreciate how useful MR can be. For example, with the Photo with Movie
Clip setting you can capture moving footage before and after taking a single
photo, so you can post a video clip on a social media site and create a
full-size print of the same scene. You can also record two different movies at
once - in wide-angle and close-up; Full HD and lower resolution; or original
and filtered (using one of the SZ-30MR’s seven Magic Filters for movies). In
addition to MR, the SZ-30MR lives up to the Super Zoom name with incredible
zooming power, making it easy to take exceptional shots, from the expressive
face of a gargoyle high up on a church roof to an emotive movie close-up of
battling athletes.
The series flagship, it’s
packed with the full range of SZ technical wizardry, from a backlit CMOS sensor
(ideal for shooting in low light) to 3D photo shooting, Smart Panorama and
wireless Eye-Fi card compatibility
