Olympus Mju 770 SW Digital Compact Camera - Dark Blue (7.1MP, 3x Optical Zoom) 2.5" LCD

BrightCapture Technology:A technology developed for better shooting results in low light situations. It works in two ways: i)All available pixel information from the image sensor is used to provide a view on the LCD that's up to four times brighter than conventional types, to make framing easy even in dark surroundings. ii) In certain shooting modes sensitivity is increased (resolution is sometimes reduced), which results in well-exposed images with accurate colour reproduction, high contrast and definition, even when not using the flash.Scene modes that benefit from BrightCapture Technology include Candle, Night Scene and Available Light.

One-Touch Light:With this new feature, the subject in Super Macro Mode will be illuminated automatically (if One-Touch light is set) and by this, the AE and AF functions are improved.

In other modes this function is also available by pressing the menu button for 2 seconds.Subjects up to 2m are clearly seen without using the flash.

Do More With Less Light

HyperCrystal LCD

A semi-transmissive technology used in LCDs, which employs an additional layer at the bottom of the LCD to reflect light from external light sources.This enances the brightness of the LCD, so even in direct sunlight images are displayed sharply and with three times the contrast of conventional displays. It provides for viewing angles of up to 170º without glare or shadow, so images can be framed from a variety of angles and viewed by several people at once.

Bright Capture Technology

Because BrightCapture Technology increases light sensitivity for shooting and dramatically boosts contrasts on the 2.5"/6.4cm HyperCrystal LCD, better photo results are achieved in low light situations. BrightCapture Technology is used in several scene modes (including Candle and Available Light) making it easier to frame and capture atmospheric shots with less need for the flash. To protect against unwanted blur, high ISO levels (up to 1600) are available to allow the use of faster shutter speeds, while retaining the necessary image brightness.

One-Touch Light

The clever addition of a one-touch light makes it easy to search and frame the shots you want to shoot in the dark or underwater. Making it possible to find subjects in dark situations - such as when exploring a hidden reef under water. With this new feature, the subject in Super Macro Mode will be illuminated automatically (if One-Touch light is set) and by this, the AE and AF functions are improved. In other modes this function is also available by pressing the menu button for 2 seconds. Subjects up to 2m are clearly seen without using the flash.

More Features

Further flexibility is given by the 3x zoom lens (38-114mm on a 35mm camera, 1:3.5-5.0), which employs a special inner-folded light path design, so that no parts protrude and risk getting bumped or broken.
