your favourite player on the pitch. This digital camera not only gives you the optical power to explore new territory and subjects. With its four million pixels, innovative TruePic Turbo processing system and array of shooting features, you can be sure your images have the clarity and colour to really come alive.
The CAMEDIA C-765 Ultra Zoom is the world's smallest 10X optical zoom, 4.0 megapixel digital camera, weighing just 280 grams. It's an all-in-one camera solution for photographers who want the widest focal length range plus manual and automatic controls in a rugged and portable digital camera. The 10X optical zoom lens has a 35mm equivalent zoom range of 38mm to 380mm. Olympus introduced the first-ever Ultra Zoom digital camera four years ago, and has since produced increasingly robust and feature-rich models.
If you are looking for a 10x zoom, why not come to the founder of the Ultra Zoom range? Thanks to its longstanding experience, you may rely on Olympus for a lens that offers superior performance. The very bright (f2.8 - 3.7), high quality optical system of the C-765 Ultra Zoom model comprises eleven elements arranged in seven groups and includes two aspherical lenses to reduce distortion plus an ED element. The latter is normally only found in pro-level SLR cameras and significantly helps reduce chromatic aberration.
This model is not only perfect for distant objects, but also lets you shoot from just 3cm away to create fascinating macro photos. Great quality prints are assured - even in sizes up to A4. This is achieved by pixel counts of 4 million pixels as well as the improved image processor TruePic Turbo, which perfects photographic quality in terms of sharpness, contrast and colour brilliancy.
The C-765UZ features an improved image processor called TruePic TURBO, that improves image quality and delivers faster overall processing speeds. TruePic TURBO captures information from all 4.0 million pixels with pixel "micro- smoothing" that delivers clearer and more color-accurate photos. The camera also utilizes PictBridge technology, which allows users to print directly to any PictBridge compatible printer without the use of a computer.
The optimised electronic viewfinder allows - unlike many optical viewfinders - precise framing of the shot, and the resolution of 240,000 pixels means you enjoy a clear picture. Furthermore, so you don't have to take your eye from the subject when shooting, all activated settings are displayed in the electronic viewfinder.
The new Ultra Zoom model is versatile enough to match any user's comfort level. In auto mode, it offers point-and-shoot simplicity for flawless picture taking. For those times when creative expression is desired, the aperture priority, shutter priority or full manual settings allow greater control.
The C-765UZ offers a wide variety of record modes. In full Auto mode, the camera offers basic point-and-shoot simplicity. In Program AE mode, you can have the ease of Auto mode with the ability to change setting for Metering, ISO, etc. The A/S/M symbol on the mode dial gives you access to more advanced controls with Aperture priority, Shutter priority, and Manual exposure modes. The scene program modes provide fully automatic exposure adjustments for Portrait, Sports, Landscape, and Night Scenes. The special "My Mode" feature saves time by allowing users to assign frequently used settings to the mode dial for quick access.
The movie mode enables you to capture video with sound. For instance, you can record the winning goal being scored, accompanied by the jubilation of the crowd. And the USB 2.0 AutoConnect interface ensures file transfer to the computer is now even quicker.
Other controls include Digital ESP multi-pattern and spot metering; six white balance settings (Auto, 4 presets and Manual); multiple flash settings; selectable ISO speeds (Auto, 64, 100, 200, 400) and exposure compensation. The built-in flash offers 5 settings including slow synch to provide a wide range of options.
For newcomers as well as ambitious amateurs alike, the Olympus CAMEDIA C-765 Ultra Zoom model gives the power of 10x zoom at a reasonable price. The camera, which weighs just 280 grams, has the smallest and lightest 10x Ultra Zoom body within that segment. Offering excellent image quality and a broad range of advanced features, it combines versatility and ease of use in one sleek package.
