FEATURES- SP-550UZ Ultra Zoom Digital Camera
7.1 Megapixel, 18x Wide-Angle Zoom, Dual Image Stabilization, 15 fps
& Pre-Capture.
Far and wide, the world's most powerful ultra zoom. Capture the
moment, and capture the action, with the world's most powerful
ultra zoom -- the 7.1 megapixel SP-550 UZ. Its new 18x wide-angle
super-telephoto zoom lens gets you closer to your subject than any
other compact digital camera on the market. Dual Image
Stabilization eliminates blur. And with high-speed sequential
shooting and new Pre-Capture technology, you'll capture anything
that moves. Even shoot in low light without a flash, thanks to
Bright Capture Technology, and it's easy to preview, shoot and
share with the large 2.5" high-resolution LCD.
Includes SP-550 UZ digital camera, 4 AA alkaline batteries, USB cable
(CB-USB6), Audio/Video cable (CB-AVC3), Neck strap, Manual, CD-ROM
(Olympus Master 2.0 Software), Warranty card.
* 18X WIDE-ANGLE ZOOM.
The 18x super-telephoto zoom brings you closer to the action than any
other compact digital camera on the market, and at the same time, the
wide-angle lens allows more in your frame. The SP-550's 100x total zoom
capability is perfect for indoor shooting, landscapes and group shots.
* 15fps & PRE-CAPTURE.
With a burst rate of up to 15fps, you can freeze moments in time to get
the shot you want. And the new Pre-Capture technology works as soon as
the focus is locked, it automatically archives five frames in the
camera's buffer memory prior to the shutter release. You'll capture the
perfect shot even if your reaction time is slow.
* FULL MANUAL EXPOSURE CONTROL.
The SP-550 is as versatile as you want it to be. It allows advanced
creative control, yet it's easy enough for any family member to point-
and-shoot beautiful images.
* DUAL IMAGE STABILIZATION.
Olympus' new 2-in-1 anti-blur solution. Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization
keeps your shot steady by compensating for camera shake (ideal for
shooting in low light and zooming), and Digital Image Stabilization
freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds.
These two technologies combine to help you capture crisp, clear images
in any situation, even at longer focal lengths..
* ISO 5000.
The SP-550 UZ offers the highest ISO sensitivity of any ultra zoom for
superior low-light and fast-action photography. Combine this with
shutter speeds of up to 1/2000 second and you'll capture fast-action
photos, at the game or in your own backyard, with ease.
* BRIGHT CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY.
Even when it's too dark for your eyes to see, you can preview your
subject clearly on the LCD, then capture an image that's clear and
bright without having to use a flash.
