Style meets innovation
The Olympus µ [mju:] 1040 represents a new generation of style. Its sleek, thin
metal body really makes a statement and comes in a dazzling array of colours.
These include Starry Silver, Midnight Black, Magma Red and Melon Yellow, with a
sliding lens cover that enhances the µ [mju:] 1040’s streamlined appearance.
Rather than being cluttered with many buttons, a flat control panel serves to
access most functions. This ensures easy navigation while simultaneously getting
the hearts of minimal design enthusiasts racing.
High-tech features
The innovations incorporated in the Olympus µ [mju:] 1040 make capturing
picture-perfect images a breeze. New is the Intelligent Auto mode. It identifies
the most commonly-used scenes and then applies the settings to subsequent
photos. Advanced Face Detection Technology lets up to 16 faces be recognised by
the camera. Matched with Shadow Adjustment Technology, which cleverly optimises
shadowy areas in picture, you can be sure that your human subjects are always
caught in the right light.
Thanks to Digital Image Stabilisation which boosts ISO values, crisp and sharp
photos are assured - even in low-light situations. Meanwhile, the powerful
TruePic III image processor enhances colour reproduction and image quality as
well as boosting speed.
Take charge
With the Olympus µ [mju:]1040, you are in control. Perfect Shot Preview lets
adjustments to the image be shown on the LCD in real time. This makes it easy to
choose the right settings to achieve the best effects. In cases where further
assistance might be required, the in-camera help guide puts solutions at your
fingertips. Users also have a choice of up to 39 languages for the camera menu.
In addition to internal memory, pictures can be stored to xD Picture Card, or -
thanks to a bundled attachment - to microSD Card. And to ensure easy handling of
photos on a computer, the multifaceted Olympus Master software is also included.
