They might be souvenirs memories frozen in time to remind you of people and things you have seen or they might be art. You might record your actions or just take a quick snap of something you see on a street corner to let others share your enjoyment when you show it to them. But they all have one thing in common: they are yours. They are formed by your vision; by the way you look at the world. By your way of life. Nobody else could have taken them. Because there is no-one quite like you. SMART VR-360 VR-340 VH You might travel all over the world and soak up the beauty of landscapes. Or you might race down the slopes of your favourite ski resort every free minute all winter long. You might find beauty in the smallest blossom of a roadside flower or in the big smile of your kids unwrapping presents on their birthday. Whatever your lifestyle, we have built a camera for you. To make it easier for you to navigate our extensive range of ultra-portable digital masterpieces, we have developed four ranges. There is the CREATOR for the artistically expressive, featuring a lens that makes many full-blown SLRs green with envy. There is the range for those in need of powerful zoom lenses and panoramic features for those unbelievable landscapes. There is the sturdy TOUGH camera for the drop-spill-smash-and-scratch lifestyle of those always on to the next big adventure from outdoor sports to simply being five years old and just learning to hold on to things while running really fast. And there is the SMART range for those who treasure nothing more than simplicity that just works. All you have to do now is say hello to yours. VG VG VG TECHNOLOGY GLOSSARY OVERVIEW 38 39

3 OLYMPUS NEW TECHNOLOGY OLYMPUS NEW TECHNOLOGY ihs TECHNOLOGY ihs stands for Intelligence, High-Sensitivity and High-Speed. By dramatically improving low-light performance, speeding up camera response and enhancing scene and subject recognition, this state-of-the-art technology transforms the results when you shoot fast-moving subjects or night scenes, or take other traditionally difficult shots. The key technologies behind ihs are the next-generation TruePic V and VI Image and the backlit CMOS sensor, which deliver high sensitivity and low noise. These two technologies drive a number of advanced Olympus features that take all the work out of capturing difficult shots, from HDR Backlight Adjustment to Advanced Shadow Adjustment. MULTI RECORDING Olympus Dual Engine Technology allows users to combine various photo and movie recording modes simultaneously. You can record two different movies at once: in wide-angle and close-up; Full HD and lower resolution; original and filtered. With the Photo & Movie setting, it s now possible to capture a Full HD movie and a 16 megapixel photo simultaneously. Below are the four different Multi Recording pairs: HIGH-SENSITIVITY The backlit CMOS sensor offers excellent image quality with less noise for improved image detail, especially in low-light situations. High-sensitivity Low noise Fast drive speed HIGH PERFORMANCE Originally designed for DSLR and PEN cameras, the powerful TruePic V and VI processors offer true High-Speed image processing. TruePic VI even features dual-core architecture. Excellent colour reproduction Picture sharpness Fast processing speed WIDE-ANGLE MOVIE FULL HD MOVIE ORIGINAL FULL HD MOVIE, 1920 X CLOSE-UP 16 MEG APIXEL PHOTO MAGIC FILTER STANDARD MOVIE, 640 X LOW LIGHT 2 HIGH-SPEED 3 INTELLIGENCE MAGIC FILTER STILL & MOVIE Add style and artistic flair to stills and movies with Olympus Magic Filters. Along with Punk, Pop Art, Pinhole, Drawing, Fish Eye, Soft Focus, Sparkle (photos only), Watercolour, Reflection and Miniature, there are two new incredible options: Fragmented (photos only) creates a collage of tiles, as if the original photo has been cut up and reassembled, and Dramatic boosts the contrast to give images a more dynamic atmosphere. (Effects vary by model.) LOW LIGHT MODE BLUR WITH FAST AF WITHOUT FAST AF PEOPLE LANDMARKS UNDER EX POSURE NOISE SEQUENTIAL SHOOTING HIGH-SPEED MOVIES SHADOW ADJUSTMENT MACRO PUNK POP ART FISH EYE SOFT FOCUS Beautiful images of night scenes and indoor photos with less noise and without blur. The sensitivity is automatically shifted up to ISO 1600 depending on its shooting scene in the iauto Mode. Beautiful images can be recorded without blur, even in dark areas, by using DUAL IS at the same time. Sharp and clear photos can be shot with the camera held in your hand, without a tripod, even under backlight conditions. High-Speed AF was realised with the DSLRmounted Frequency Acceleration Sensor Technology, or FAST AF. In addition, TG series cameras can shoot photos instantly with Quick Start-Up. The High-Speed Sequential Shooting function allows up to 10 fps in full-size quality. High-Speed movies with up to 240 fps can be viewed in slow motion on the playback screen. Advanced iauto makes it easy to take professional-looking photos and HD Movies at the touch of a button, even underwater. You can capture photos exactly as you see them (people, landmarks, macros, etc.) because the camera automatically uses high-sensitivity settings for night scenes and Shadow Adjustment Technology for scenes under backlight conditions. This function is also compatible with movie shooting, so that movies can be recorded as you envisioned. PINHOLE FR AGMENTED DRAWING SPARKLE WATERCOLOUR MINIATURE REFLECTION DRAMATIC 04 05

4 CREATOR XZ-1 BLACK WHITE 1 The vast range of programmes and settings is easily accessible by turning the dial. THE BRIGHTEST BORN WITH A VISION. A brilliant partner for sharing brilliant ideas by painting with light HELLO CREATOR. The OLYMPUS CREATOR XZ-1: It s a symphony of colour. It s painting with light. Great photography moves you to feel it, taste it, dive into it. It s the pictures we dream of. And, of course, there is nothing more essential than the eye for the moment and the creative vision of the artist to capture it. But there is a lot we can do to help, and we ve done just that with the CREATOR: we gave it a lens that s so brilliant it just nails it every time. With a 1:1.8 f-stop it is so sensitive that even low-light situations can be shot with natural light creating exactly the picture that you wanted. So not only do you get a fully fledged camera that gives you complete creative freedom (and all the automatic modes just in case), but you get it in a beautiful compact body that you will happily carry with you all the time. Because we know the only thing an artist shouldn t have to do is compromise. 2 The ultra-bright lens can focus even when it s almost dark with the help of the Auto Focus light. 3 The accessory port opens up another world of possibilities, from an electronic viewfinder to microphones. Super-fast and bright 1: izuiko Lens The high-performance lens allows a rich and vibrant range of photographic expression. It boasts a fast 1:1.8 and improved shooting in low-light scenarios. The result is superbly clear, high-quality photographs The designated video button lets you shoot HD videos whenever you want to. 5 With LIVE WHEEL you can change parameters more easily than ever while checking the effect in real time.

ADVANCED SHADOW ADJUSTMENT Take beautiful photos of people in high-contrast situations that would normally be difficult to capture.

Choose from 18 different effects including eyeliner, lipstick, eye brightening, cheek lift and soft focus. Apply effects to up to three different faces in each photo. WITHOUT BIG FL ASH WITH BIG FL ASH BIG FLASH Equipped with a powerful flash (Guide number 8.8), the VG-170 can fully illuminate people or buildings from 15 metres away on the wide-angle setting. What s more, in Long Flash Mode, the camera automatically trades off megapixels against ISO sensitivity to give you the perfect light setting. DUAL IMAGE STABILISATION Providing two-fold protection, this special function helps to avoid image blur caused by camera shake or fast-moving subjects. It combines high ISO values with a CCD-based mechanical image stabiliser, where a built-in sensor detects camera movement and adjusts the CCD accordingly. FAST AF The Frequency Acceleration Sensor Technology Auto Focus is a super-fast Auto Focus system, fed by a new sensor that supplies the necessary video signals at double the read-out speed (120 fps) of previous sensors. It is enhanced by Full-Time AF that ensures the camera constantly adjusts the focus, even before a photo or movie is taken.

19 TECHNOLOGY GLOSSARY H P TECHNOLOGY GLOSSARY S W HAND-HELD STARLIGHT MODE Hand-Held Starlight Mode counteracts picture noise and camera shake to capture razor-sharp photos by taking multiple images at different exposure settings. It then selects and merges the most suitable gradation for each part of the photo, resulting in a perfectly exposed photo that you couldn t normally shoot in poor light without using a tripod. Simply point your Olympus and shoot. HYPER CRYSTAL A special layer on the LCD that reflects light from external sources, thus reducing reflection even in direct sunlight for outstanding visibility in a variety of shooting situations. And of course it s super-tough. A triple-coated acrylic finish makes the LCD more scratch-resistant than ever before. MULTI-MOTION MOVIE IS Multi-Motion Movie Image Stabilisation Advanced Image Stabilisation Technology that counteracts blurring while you are walking and capturing videos at the same time, even with slow-moving subjects, long shots and pans. It s ideal for making dynamic, spontaneous movies when you re on the move and invariably don t have a tripod. SMART PANORAMA Allows the user to create an impressive super wide-angle wrap-around photo simply by panning the camera horizontally or vertically. There s no need to pay attention to points of intersection the camera knits the separate stills together automatically. SUPER- RESOLUTION ZOOM Unlike digital zooms, which trade off image resolution and sharpness against zooming power, Olympus Super-Resolution Zoom digitally extends the range of the optical zoom and counteracts fuzzy edges using frequencyrange analysis. For example, it can boost a 12.5x Optical Zoom to 25x while still retaining the clear outlines and low noise of an optically zoomed image. ULTRA-WIDE OPTICAL ZOOM LENSES Compact and portable, yet extremely powerful, Olympus zooms in up to 36x for extremely dramatic close-ups and backs out for sweeping wide-angle panoramas. Wide-angle lenses from 24 mm to 28 mm combine incredible tele-zoom performances of up to 864 mm without any digital zoom effects. BACKGROUND BLUR 12.5X OPTICAL ZOOM HD MOVIE A simple, one-touch button allows you to record movies with amazing clarity in high definition. In HD Movie Mode, the camera captures HD video using the advanced AVI Motion JPEG or MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 movie compression format at a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. HDR BACKLIGHT ADJUSTMENT Instead of recording just one shot, your camera rapidly takes multiple images at different exposure settings. Then it automatically merges them. The result is a collage of ideally exposed photos, blended seamlessly together into one perfect shot. Capture your scene just as you see it, even if you re shooting against the light. COLOUR INTENSITY LIVE GUIDE An extension of iauto, in just three steps Live Guide lets anybody master the settings that make all the difference motion and background blur, colour intensity, lighting temperature and brightness. In a typical situation, Live Guide helps you blur out the background to make a shot more dramatic and show off the foreground to the best effect. Instead of having to adjust depth of field using the lens or menu yourself, now you just move a slide bar up and down on the LCD. Live Guide automatically adjusts all the parameters and alters the picture to show what effect your changes would have on the end result. When you see the effect you want on the LCD, you stop scrolling and move on to the next setting, or just capture the shot. PET DETECTION Automatically detects dog or cat faces (two different modes) and works together with Auto Release to capture the photo the moment the dog or cat turns to face the camera. PHOTO SURFING By selecting this option in the Playback menu, you can opt to browse pictures by date, scene, person, place or image collection. SUPER-FAST & BRIGHT LENSES izuiko DIGITAL lenses provide precision and quality for professionals and amateurs alike.
