Get closer and wider all in one The Olympus SP-560 UZ: 18x closer, 18x wilder London, 23 August 2007 – The extremely powerful and ergonomically designed Olympus SP-560 UZ continues where it’s award-winning predecessor, the SP-550 UZ, left off. Boasting an astounding 18x wide optical zoom (equivalent to 27-486mm on a 35mm camera), photographers have virtually all options open to locate and frame their subjects, both far and wide. This versatile camera incorporates Dual Image Stabilisation to provide double protection against blur caused by camera shake – which becomes more likely as the level of zoom increases. Furthermore, Face Detection Technology has now been included to guarantee the capture of sharper, more accurately exposed faces. This model also upgrades the resolution to 8.0 Megapixels, ensuring no detail goes missing. Get ready for the Olympus SP-560 UZ to take you where you’ve always wanted to go.
The Olympus SP-560 UZ will be available from October 2007 at around
£350. For further information call 0800 0720070 or visit

Zoom in or get wide
Experience a new kind of photographic freedom. With a tremendous 18x
wide optical zoom (equiv. to 27- 486mm), the SP-560 UZ truly delivers
incredible wide and telephoto capabilities. Whether snapping graduates
from the back row of an auditorium or capturing the charm of a bird in
its natural habitat, this model’s exceptional magnification power takes
you further. The teleconverter lens TCON-017 and adapter ring CLA-10
are optionally available for extending the focal range to an astounding
826mm – or touch the sky when used in conjunction with the digital zoom
at 4626mm (35mm equivalents). See more at once with a wide-angle view
(equiv. to 27mm): Get everybody in the family photo at the next
gathering, or finally do those scenic landscapes justice with a broader
perspective.
Sharper shots
Count on Dual Image Stabilisation – combining a mechanical image
stabiliser with high ISO – to provide protection against blur caused by
camera shake. Meanwhile, by integrating Face Detection Technology, the
camera can recognise the faces in a scene and adjust for optimal
exposure and sharpness. And to ensure that shadowy areas in
compositions are brightened, the SP-560 UZ also features Shadow
Adjustment Technology.
Capture the action
Sequence shooting at up to 15fps*, makes it easy to capture that
split-second play on the football field and other action-rich
situations. Furthermore, the clever pre-capture mode means five frames*
are snapped and captured even before the shutter is released – so you
will never again have just missed that big moment!
A closer, brighter view
Go for the details with the Super Macro mode, with distances as close
as 1cm to subjects. Capture the unique beauty of a flower or the
delicate fibres of a spider’s web: Take liberties when choosing a
subject, as the SP-560 UZ brings you closer to one of nature’s most
fascinating photographic genres. A large 6.4cm LCD makes it easy to
compose and review macro shots, while Olympus’ own BrightCapture
Technology works to brighten both images and movies you capture. What’s
more, brighter images relayed on the LCD make it easier to quickly and
confidently frame all kinds of compositions, even in dimly-lit
conditions.
Primed to shoot the way you want
Performance and ease of use go hand in hand with the
ergonomically-designed SP-560 UZ. Photographers not only benefit from
scene modes that can be selected for use in a diverse range of shooting
conditions, various automatic and manual (P/A/S/M) settings are also
available. This gives users a handy choice between point-and-shoot ease
and full creative control. Furthermore, the Smile Shot scene mode
ensures well-timed pictures, since it can detect when a subject smiles
and automatically releases the shutter at just the right moment.
Dioptric correction makes it possible for those who wear glasses to use
the viewfinder, and an optional underwater case PT-037 is available for
added fun up to 40m below the water’s surface.
