The Olympus µ [mju:] 1200: Elegance meets ingenuity
London, 23 August 2007 – Introducing the brilliant Olympus µ [mju:] 1200. It packs an incredible 12 Megapixels and boasts a number of cutting-edge innovations including Face Detection Technology for the proper exposure and focusing of faces. In addition, Shadow Adjustment Technology has been included to detect the shadow areas in a composition and corrects the exposure for a more detailed, realistic image. This powerful addition to the stylish µ [mju:] range comes in a weatherproof* metal body in Midnight Black, which protects it against the elements. A giant 6.9cm HyperCrystal LCD makes the framing and reviewing of shots fun and easy – even in direct sunlight. And the incorporation of the new TruePic III image processor ensures faithful reproduction of image colours, excellent noise performance and quicker processing speeds.
The Olympus µ [mju:] 1200 will be available from October 2007 at around
Ł270. For further information call 0800 0720070 or visit

Built like a champ
A weatherproof* metal body in Midnight Black oozes style, and makes the
µ [mju:] 1200 the ideal companion. Capture you and your friends at the
poolside, and don’t miss a thing with a stunning 12 Megapixels of
detail-capturing power. Also preview and review shots with ease thanks
to a giant 6.9cm HyperCrystal LCD.
Olympus’ BrightCapture Technology brightens shots in low-light
conditions, while a 3x optical zoom (equiv. to 35-105mm on a 35mm
camera) combines with a 5x digital zoom to get you closer still without
having to budge an inch. Super Macro mode expands the creative
possibilities even more by getting you as close as 10cm to subjects!
And the powerful new TruePic III image processor is the icing on the
cake. Its realistic colour reproduction, improved noise performance and
quicker overall processing speeds make photography with the µ [mju:]
1200 even more rewarding.
Special technologies
Only the brightest innovations have been incorporated into this elegant
and powerful compact model: A high ISO setting increases sensitivity so
that images come out more brilliant, even in low-light situations.
Shadow Adjustment Technology works by detecting the shadowy parts of a
composition and automatically optimising exposure for these areas –
resulting in more realistic, detailed images no matter what the
lighting conditions. In addition, Face Detection Technology scans for
faces, which it then automatically focuses and properly exposes to
significantly improve the depiction of family and friends.
In control
20 scene modes including Night Scene or Sports make it easy for novices
and experts alike to quickly adjust settings for almost any shooting
situation. In addition, the Smile Shot scene mode automatically fires
the shutter when it detects that the subject is smiling, and integrated
Perfect Fix lets you retroactively correct blur and red-eye directly on
the camera’s LCD. An internal memory plus an xD-Picture Card slot means
that running out of storage space needs never to be an issue. Included
are an LI-42B battery and the Olympus Master software plus a trial
version of Muvee Pack – which make it especially easy to organise,
archive and share your shots.
