5x zoom and Dual Image Stabilisation for more photographic freedom
The Olympus µ [mju:] 830: Style & performance
London, 23 August 2007 – A premium combination of design and features lend the Olympus µ [mju:] 830 irresistible qualities. With the luxury of a 5x optical zoom (equivalent to 36-180mm on a 35mm camera), photographers can get closer to subjects without having to move an inch. Double protection against blur caused by camera shake, which is more likely at high magnifications, is provided by Dual Image Stabilisation – a combination of high ISO setting and a mechanical image stabiliser. Furthermore, a smart, weatherproof*, aluminium exterior, finished in silver or black, serves as a stylish defence against all kinds of unexpected weather. This means that the picture-taking doesn’t have to stop when the sunshine does. And an 8 Megapixel CCD combined with innovative Face Detection Technology ensures that photos featuring faces are virtually guaranteed to come out perfectly sharp and exposed.
The Olympus µ [mju:] 830 will be available from October 2007 at around
Ł250. For further information call 0800 0720070 or visit

Shoot where, when and how you want
With a sleek, weatherproof* aluminium body in silver or black, the µ
[mju:] 830 need not shy away from poor weather. Whether exposed to
light showers on the hiking trail, or a splash from the pool, this
model keeps on shooting through it all. 8.0 Megapixels ensure that even
the tiniest of details are captured, while the 5x optical zoom (equiv.
to 36-180mm) means more shooting flexibility – especially when it’s a
challenge for the photographer to get close to their subject.
Fully-equipped
Face Detection Technology ensures that subjects’ faces come out
stunningly sharp and optimally-exposed. Meanwhile, Shadow Adjustment
Technology automatically adjusts the exposure settings for shadowy
parts of the image so that results are significantly more detailed and
realistic. This model also bids farewell to unwanted blur as it
incorporates Dual Image Stabilisation: a high ISO setting and
mechanical image stabiliser combine to provide double insurance against
the effects of camera shake.
A large 6.4cm HyperCrystal LCD makes framing and reviewing shots a
piece of cake – even in direct sunlight, with BrightCapture Technology
working to improve the brightness of both still images and movies, as
well as previews displayed on the LCD. And the inclusion of the new
TruePic III image processor means more faithful colour reproduction,
reduced image noise and a boost in overall camera speed.
So easy
With 22 scene modes including Night Scene and Candle, it’s no problem
to quickly adjust to virtually any shooting situation. And an internal
memory plus an xD-Picture Card slot mean that the user can expand
storage at any time. Additionally, the Olympus Master software allows
for the organisation and archiving of photos once they’re on a computer
– and the trial version of Muvee Pack included can be used to create
photo “movies” from images.
