Style meets innovation
The Olympus µ [mju:] 1040 represents a new generation of style. Its
sleek, thin metal body really makes a statement and comes in a dazzling
array of colours. These include Starry Silver, Midnight Black, Magma
Red and Melon Yellow, with a sliding lens cover that enhances the µ
[mju:] 1040's streamlined appearance. Rather than being cluttered with
many buttons, a flat control panel serves to access most functions.
This ensures easy navigation while simultaneously getting the hearts of
minimal design enthusiasts racing.
High-tech features
The innovations incorporated in the Olympus µ [mju:] 1040 make
capturing picture-perfect images a breeze. New is the Intelligent Auto
mode. It identifies the most commonly-used scenes and then applies the
settings to subsequent photos. Advanced Face Detection Technology lets
up to 16 faces be recognised by the camera. Matched with Shadow
Adjustment Technology, which cleverly optimises shadowy areas in
picture, you can be sure that your human subjects are always caught in
the right light.
Thanks to Digital Image Stabilisation
which boosts ISO values, crisp and sharp photos are assured - even in
low-light situations. Meanwhile, the powerful TruePic III image
processor enhances colour reproduction and image quality as well as
boosting speed.
Take charge
With the Olympus µ [mju:]1040, you are in control. Perfect Shot Preview
lets adjustments to the image be shown on the LCD in real time. This
makes it easy to choose the right settings to achieve the best effects.
In cases where further assistance might be required, the in-camera help
guide puts solutions at your fingertips. Users also have a choice of up
to 39 languages for the camera menu. In addition to internal memory,
pictures can be stored to xD Picture Card, or - thanks to a bundled
attachment - to microSD Card. And to ensure easy handling of photos on
a computer, the multifaceted Olympus Master software is also included.
Available in Starry Silver, Midnight
Black, Magma Red and Melon Yellow, the sleek and ultra-slim µ [mju:]
1040 becomes available in September 2008.
