The new Intelligent Auto mode can detect the five most commonly-used scenes and then automatically adjust camera settings including focus and exposure. A large (6.9cm/2.7”) HyperCrystal LCD helps users frame and review their shots. In addition to the camera’s internal memory, photos can be stored on xD-Picture Card or (thanks to a bundled attachment) on microSD Card. The 10 Megapixel µ 1040 will hit stores from September 2008.

Style and innovation

The Olympus µ 1040 represents a new generation of Olympus style. Its sleek, thin metal body really makes 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 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.

The innovations incorporated in the Olympus µ 1040 make capturing picture-perfect images a breeze. New is the Intelligent Auto mode.

Matched with Shadow Adjustment Technology, which cleverly optimizes shadowy areas in picture, you can be sure that your human subjects are always caught in the right light.
