Description

THE WORKS With its 7x optical zoom (37-260mm*) the μ 1060 gets you closer to your subjects, expanding photographic possibilities – no matter if enjoying an outdoor party with friends or exploring a foreign city. An attractively-designed metal exterior, available in Starry Silver, Midnight Black or Cyan Green, exudes elegance and makes it fun and easy to slip it in or out of any handbag or pocket. When it comes to framing and reviewing shots, an extra-large 7.6cm/3.0" HyperCrystal LCD guarantees grand depictions. Dual Image Stabilisation ensures that shots come out sharp – even at high magnifications. Thanks to a high ISO setting of up to 3200, shots even in dimmer settings such as a romantic moonlight dinner are possible. And for extreme-action situations, this model provides a phenomenal 9fps** of sequential shooting power. This "intelligent" type of AUTO mode combines Face Detection and Shadow Adjustment Technology to allow the camera to detect the five most commonly used scenes automatically. It enables the capture of perfect photos without any need for manual settings. * Equivalent to a 35mm camera ** In 3.0 Megapixel mode

INTELLIGENT AUTO MODE This "intelligent" type of AUTO mode combines Face Detection and Shadow Adjustment Technology to allow the camera to detect the five most commonly used scenes automatically. It enables the capture of perfect photos without any need for manual settings. 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 thatʼs 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 TRUEPIC III IMAGE PROCESSOR Olympus’ newest-generation image processing engine. It automatically enhances important aspects of image quality including: Colour reproduction (colour range, saturation and brightness), picture sharpness (reduced image noise, improved edge reproduction), as well as providing faster processing speeds. PRE-CAPTURE MOVIE MODE Enables short movies (of seven seconds) to be recorded that even capture the two seconds before the shutter button is pressed. In this way, that decisive moment between when something occurs and when the shutter is actually triggered is overcome. Optical zoom and autofocus functions remain available throughout recording. PERFECT SHOT PREVIEW Allows the effect of various settings to be previewed before shooting. Users can therefore be confident of capturing the image perfectly. The image appears in a multi-frame window on the LCD in real-time, making it easy to compare options and take the best possible shot. IN-CAMERA PANORAMA MODE A mode allowing users to instantly compose panoramas of approx. 130° right inside the camera. By framing each shot in step with the on-screen guide, exciting panoramic scenes can be stitched together for a more realistic and emotional depiction of any landscape or skyline. This mode is only available in conjunction with the use of an xD-Picture Card. microSD COMPATIBILITY A special attachment comes bundled with this camera which provides for microSD Card compatibility in addition to being able to use xD-Picture Cards.
