Olympus Stylus 1030SW Highlights
Shockproof and crushproof design Afraid the ain winds might
sweep a camera out of your gloves? Never fear, the Stylus 1030 SW
can withstand a 6.6-foot drop with its shock-absorbing
technology, which minimizes the impact on the lens and circuitry.
In addition, the Stylus 1030 SW features a crushproof body that
can withstand up to 220 pounds of crushing pressure.
Waterproof for underwater photos The Stylus 1030 SW performs as
well underwater as it does on land because its lightweight,
stainless steel and aluminum exterior is matched with interior
rubber kets and O-rings to seal out the elements. It can be
fully submerged to capture beautiful images down to 33 feet (10
meters) underwater, and features a built-in manometer, making it
ideal for more serious underwater adventurers who want to know
the depth of where their images were taken. The inclusion of four
preset underwater scene modes makes the Stylus 1030 SW perfect
for taking photos while snorkeling or scuba diving. Additionally,
movies are simple thanks to an underwater movie mode. The camera
also features a water-repellant lens coating to prevent water
droplets from forming on the lens to get crystal-clear s no
matter how wet the shooting environment.
Freezeproof for icy action Unlike other point-and-shoot cameras
that freeze up in frosty weather, the Stylus 1030 SW still
performs when the temperature dips well below freezing (14
degrees Fahrenheit; -10 degrees Celsius) so it is ready to climb
the ain or hit the slopes when you are.
Dustproof for desert winds The rugged Stylus 1030 SW is an ideal
companion for an expedition in the Sahara because its airtight
construction is impervious to dust, dirt and other particles.
When the camera gets dirty, just rinse it off with your canteen.
Advanced HyperCrystal LCD The Stylus 1030 SW boasts an advanced
HyperCrystal II LCD, which is Olympus next generation of LCD
technology. It reproduces true colors with a dynamic contrast
ratio of more than 180 percent and a color reproduction
performance of more than 160 percent compared to HyperCrystal
LCD.
Wide optical zoom in ultra-slim body design The Stylus 1030 SW
features a 3.6x wide optical zoom (28-102mm equivalent in 35mm
photography, f3.5-5.0) so that even more of the subject makes it
into each -- perfect for underwater photography. The lens
does not protrude from its body, so it is further protected from
harsh conditions.
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.
Digital Image Stabilization The Stylus 1030 SW features Digital
Image Stabilization (DIS) to capture crisp, clear pictures. By
boosting the cameras ISO sensitivity and shutter speed, DIS
freezes the action and provides blur-free images, even when you
or your subject is moving.
In-camera panorama In-camera panorama mode captures three images
and stitches them together to create one amazing panoramic
picture. Simply press the shutter button and slowly pan across a
panoramic scene. The second and third images will be captured
automatically and stitched together with the first image --
resulting in one seamless panorama-size picture. To create the
ultimate panoramic picture, consumers can use the Olympus Master
2 software to stitch up to 10 images together.
Shadow Adjustment Technology Shooting outdoors in bright
daylight can be tricky because of the extreme contrast between
dark shadowed areas and bright sunlit areas. While the human eye
is capable of detecting the nuances between dark and light and
all the details in between, image sensors traditionally have not
been quite as sensitive. The Stylus 1030 SW addresses this
challenge head-on with Shadow Adjustment Technology, which
compensates for extreme contrast where the shadow areas are
underexposed and lack visible detail. With this technology, users
can preview and capture images with the same contrast as the
naked eye.
Perfect Preview The Stylus 1030 SW features a Perfect
Preview mode that enables users to preview and select various
photographic effects on a live, multi-window screen before
snapping the . Perfect Preview enables 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 an ideal way for novice users to learn about the effects of
different photography techniques, such as zoom, exposure
compensation, white balance and metering.
Perfect Fix in-camera editing The Stylus 1030 SW offers Red-Eye
Fix and Shadow Adjustment Edit, in-camera editing features such
as resizing, frames, text options, and saturation adjustments,
enabling users to edit photos right in the camera. With the
Perfect Fix function, multiple editing features can be applied at
once.
LED Illuminator An LED Illuminator works like a mini-flashlight
on the front of the camera to enhance focus and exposure for
macro shooting -- great for underwater close-ups where light is
ce. The LED also works in conjunction with Bright Capture to
help illuminate your subject when taking low-light portraits.
TruePic III image processor 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 tones and faster
processing speeds. TruePic III also captures sharp images at high
ISO settings, which are traditionally associated with increasing
image noise or producing grainy photos.
New, powerful battery The Stylus 1030 SW includes the new LI-50B
Li-Ion battery, which charges 2.5 times faster (two hours instead
of five) than its predecessor. The new 925-mAh battery boasts a
25 percent increase in power.

optional accessories, specifically designed for the Stylus 1030
SW. For users looking to capture their underwater adventures
