Choosing the right compact digital camera has never been easier, thanks to
the new Olympus pocket-size FE-Series cameras that make capturing brilliant
images as simple as point and shoot. The FE-310 delivers high-tech features
without being bland -- this stylish, sleek, and downright fun-to-use model makes
everyone who has it the life of the party.
The FE-310 offers 8-megapixel resolution, Face Detection, Digital Image
Stabilization, Perfect Shot Preview and three in-camera Help Guides so you can
learn on the go and capture all of life's special moments in brilliant detail at
the touch of a button.
Powerful optics
Great images start with great optics. The FE-310 has a 5x optical zoom made from
precision-crafted lenses that put you 60 percent closer to the action than 3x.
Face Detection
Face Detection tracks faces within the frame and automatically focuses (Face
Detection AF) and optimizes exposure (Face Detection AE) for sharp, brilliant
portrait pictures. Even if your subject is moving, the camera continuously
tracks your subject's face without having to press the shutter button.
Digital Image Stabilization Mode and Edit
Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) helps capture crisp, clear pictures. DIS
freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds to prevent
blurry images often caused by a moving subject.
17 pre-set shooting modes
The FE-310 offers numerous pre-set shooting modes, such as Sports, Fireworks and
Night Scene with Portrait. It also features VGA-quality video and sound, which
enable users to shoot and share movies on the big screen or on the Web.
Expression Edit
Now you can really turn a frown upside down! This fun feature uses Face
Detection technology to edit a subject's facial expression after the image is
captured. Four different expressions can be previewed in a multi-frame window on
the LCD, and users can select their favorite expression at the touch of a
button.
Perfect Shot Preview
The new FE-310 offers Perfect Shot Preview mode, which enables users to preview
and select various photographic effects on a live, multi-frame window on the LCD
before snapping the shot. This feature allows users to see precisely what the
image will look like when adjustments are made, ensuring users are capturing the
exact image they want. It is a great way for novice users to learn about the
effects of different photography techniques, such as exposure compensation,
white balance and metering.
Perfect Fix in-camera editing
Life does not always go according to plan. Olympus helps by providing
technology, which enables users to edit images in-camera after the photos have
been captured.
Expanded control and easy operation
In some situations, consumers may want more creative control when composing
images. The four new FE cameras offer Program Auto Mode. Located on the cameras'
mode dial, this option enables consumers to easily adjust ISO and white balance.
Additionally, the new FE-Series cameras feature three in-camera Help Guides,
making digital photography simple and fun for users of all ages and skill
levels. A tutorial "shooting guide" educates users on tips for achieving
specific effects, such as "shooting into backlight" and "brightening subjects."
The shooting guide not only provides detailed descriptions for various
situations and environments, it also automatically sets the camera with the
touch of a button, making the transition from learning to taking great pictures
instantaneous.
Olympus Master 2 software
Olympus Master 2 software provides the ultimate in digital imaging management.
An intuitive user interface makes downloading to your computer quick and simple,
and images are easily organized by folders or albums and searchable by date in
Calendar view. And with one-click editing tools, such as red-eye removal, images
can be touched up before printing or emailing. Online support, templates,
firmware upgrades and other user services are just a mouse-click away. Use the
optional muvee Theater Pack to create professional quality slide shows and DVDs
from your pictures using any of several built-in templates.
