Product Description
Ready for an adventure with the whole family
Whatever your family's idea of adventure, the STYLUS TOUGH-6000 is ready for
action. Anytime, everywhere. So durable, it's even shockproof up to 5 feet --
extra protection against accidental drops and rough handling.
There's really only one word to describe the new shockproof, waterproof,
freezeproof, crushproof and shakeproof Stylus 6000 from Olympus: Tough. Built to
withstand some of the harshest environments on earth, the Stylus Tough series
builds on the impressive specifications of the renowned Stylus SW Series by
adding Dual Image Stabilization. Now, when the Stylus Tough-6000 arrives at the
windy mountain peak or dive into choppy waves, it stays steady and ready to
capture blur-free images in virtually any condition.
The 10-megapixel Stylus Tough-6000 is made for life's everyday
adventures--especially those with kids. From the kitchen to a waterslide park
and the bunny slopes, the Stylus Tough-6000 can take a drop from 5 feet, dive to
10 feet below the surface, and beat the freezing cold. It also features Tap
Control to make it easy for skiers, divers and snowmen makers to control key
settings without removing their gloves.
Winning the Battle of the Blur with Dual Image Stabilization
For the first time, Dual Image Stabilization will be offered on Olympus' cameras
in the tough category. In the cold climates where Stylus Tough-6000 thrives, you
may shiver, but the camera performs sure and steady even in shaking hands. Dual
Image Stabilization combines two technologies--mechanical Sensor-Shift Image
Stabilization and Digital Image Stabilization--to provide one powerful anti-blur
solution for capturing great images whether the photographer or the subject is
moving. Olympus' mechanical Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization keeps images sharp
by adjusting the internal image sensor to compensate for camera movement, even
in low-light conditions when shutter speeds are slower. Additionally, Digital
Image Stabilization freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and fast
shutter speeds that prevent blurry images often caused by a moving subject.
Nothing Can Shock This Tough Camera
Afraid the mountain wind might sweep a camera out of your hands and dash it on
the rocks below? Never fear, the Stylus Tough-6000, available in trendy yellow,
white or blue tones, can withstand a 5-foot drop thanks to the Stylus Tough
series' shock-absorbing technology, which minimizes the impact on the lens and
circuitry.
Point-Dunk-and-Shoot Camera
Stylus Tough series cameras perform as well underwater as they do on land
because their lightweight, stainless steel and aluminum exteriors are matched
with interior rubber gaskets and O-rings to seal out the elements. The Stylus
Tough-6000 can be submerged up to 10 feet underwater. The inclusion of four
preset underwater scene modes makes these cameras perfect for taking photos
while scuba diving, snorkeling or simply having worry-free fun in the pool. The
camera also features a water-repellant lens coating to prevent water droplets
from forming on the lens to get crystal-clear shots no matter how wet the
shooting environment.
Freezeproof for Arctic Adventures
Whether you're in the arctic tundra or building a snowman in your backyard, the
Stylus Tough-6000 still performs when the temperature dips well below freezing
(14 degrees Fahrenheit; -10 degrees Celsius). Stylus Tough series cameras
continue to allow you to take great images in freezing situations where most
traditional cameras would fail.
Olympus Recommended Button
The new "OR" button makes it easy to activate Olympus' unique features,
including In-Camera Panorama, Shadow Adjustment and Perfect Shot Preview. Simply
press the new OR button to easily access these commonly used features.
New Beauty Mode: Supermodels Watch out!
Taking beautiful portraits in the pool or on the slopes is easy with the new
Beauty Mode. It enables you to soften shadows and smooth wrinkles or blemishes
on your subject's face--all in the camera and as you capture the image!
Additionally, subtle edits can be made post-capture using the Beauty Fix mode.
Choose "Clear Skin" to smooth a person's complexion, "Dramatic Eye" to slightly
emphasize the eyes, and "Sparkle Eye" to brighten and enhance the contrast of
the iris and pupils. You can also apply all three edits at once. Have fun
customizing your brilliant images without a PC and costly image editing
software.
Hit Them with Your Best Shot: Tap Control
The Stylus Tough series cameras can be controlled with a simple tap on their
top, back or sides, which is made possible thanks to their internal 3D
accelerometer that detects the direction of the force on the camera's body. To
turn on the flash or Shadow Adjustment Technology, all that is required is a
couple of taps on the camera's sides and top. In adverse climates Tap Control
ensures fast adjustment of settings even if you are fighting frostbite wearing
large gloves that make pressing traditional buttons nearly impossible.
Wide-Angle Optical Zoom Captures it All
The Stylus Tough-6000 features a 3.6x wide-angle optical zoom (28-102mm
equivalent in 35mm photography, f3.5-5.0) so that even more of the subject makes
it into each shot--perfect for underwater photography. The lens does not
protrude from its body so it is further protected from harsh conditions.
Versatile Memory
All Olympus digital point-and-shoot cameras accept xD-Picture Card media.
Starting with products available in August 2008, they also accept microSD memory
cards to capture images. The new Stylus Tough cameras offer the flexibility to
use either xD-Picture Card or microSD memory cards, which is just one more
advantage of Olympus point-and-shoot cameras.
Advanced HyperCrystal III LCD
The next generation of Olympus' LCD technology--HyperCrystal III--displays twice
as bright as previous versions so that you can see the details more clearly,
even in direct sunlight. The new technology is offered on Stylus Tough-6000 in a
2.7-inch LCD.
Can't Hide with Face Detection!
Portrait and group shots make family reunions live beyond the short event, and
with Face Detection you'll capture even the shyest relatives. The Stylus
Tough-6000 detects up to 16 faces within the frame and automatically focuses and
optimizes exposure to capture sharp, brilliant portraits and group shots. Thanks
to the unrivaled durability of the Stylus Tough series cameras, you'll capture
amazing photos even if your next family reunion is at a National Park, a water
park or a ski slope!
Intelligent Auto Thinks for You
Skating at night? You won't be the last one on the ice thanks to Intelligent
Auto Mode. It automatically identifies what you are shooting (i.e. Portrait,
Night + Portrait, Landscape, Macro and Sports) and adjusts the camera's settings
to capture the best quality results. First-time users can jump into this quick
and hassle-free feature that does the thinking for them and produces incredible
images.
Broaden Your Horizons with In-Camera Panorama
The places you can take Stylus Tough series cameras--the Grand Canyon or the
volcanic sand beaches of Hawaii--are locations where you want to capture as much
of the scene as you can. In-Camera Panorama mode makes it possible by capturing
three images and stitching them together to create one amazing panoramic
picture. Simply press the shutter button and slowly pan across a panoramic
scene. The second and third images will be captured automatically and stitched
together with the first image -- resulting in one seamless panorama-size
picture. To create the ultimate panoramic picture, consumers can use the Olympus
Master Software 2 to stitch up to 10 images together.
Shadow Adjustment Technology
Shooting outdoors in bright daylight can be tricky because of the extreme
contrast between dark shadowed areas and bright sunlit areas. While the human
eye is capable of detecting the nuances between dark and light and all the
details in between, image sensors traditionally have not been quite as
sensitive. The Stylus Tough series addresses this challenge head-on with Shadow
Adjustment Technology, which compensates for extreme contrast where the shadow
areas are underexposed and lack visible detail. With this technology, users can
preview and capture images with the same contrast as the naked eye.
Perfect Shot Preview
The Stylus Tough series features a Perfect Shot Preview mode that enables users
to preview and select various photographic effects on a live, multi-window
screen before snapping the shot. Perfect Shot Preview enables 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 an ideal way for novice
users to learn about the effects of different photography techniques, such as
zoom, exposure compensation, white balance and metering.
Perfect Fix In-Camera Editing
The Stylus Tough series offers Red-Eye Fix and Shadow Adjustment Edit, in-camera
editing features such as resizing, and saturation adjustments, enabling users to
edit photos right in the camera. With the Perfect Fix function, multiple editing
features can be applied at once.
LED Illuminator
An LED Illuminator on the Stylus Tough series cameras works like a
mini-flashlight on the front of the camera to enhance focus and exposure for
macro shooting--great for underwater close-ups where light is scarce. The LED
also works in conjunction with Bright Capture to help illuminate your subject
when taking low-light portraits.
TruePic III Image Processor
Olympus' enhanced TruePic III Image Processor produces crystal-clear photos
using all the pixel information for each image to deliver superior picture
quality with more accurate colors, true-to-life flesh tones and faster
processing speeds. TruePic III captures sharp images at high ISO settings,
minimizing image noise or grainy photos traditionally associated with shooting
with high ISO.
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. A direct link makes uploading your images and videos to YouTube
easier than ever. Additionally, 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.
Additionally, create scrapbooks, greeting cards and other fun prints using the
optional ArcSoft Print Creations plug-in.
