Olympus Stylus 790 SW / µ 790 SW / Mju 790 SW review
The camera built for life’s adventures. The Stylus 790 SW is packed
with technology tailored for active people. The Shockproof, Waterproof and
Freezeproof design means it’s incredibly durable, but it’s also
sleek, stylish and available in five cool color options. The new Face
Detection feature recognizes subjects’ faces and automatically
focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portraits. Whether
you’re playing volleyball at the beach, mountain biking or just
hanging out at the pool, the Stylus 790 SW is a must-have vacation and
party accessory.
The high-resolution, 7.1-megapixel image sensor delivers superior quality
for larger prints without sacrificing detail.
The precision-crafted 3x optical zoom Olympus lens delivers sharper,
clearer images and brings you closer to the action without taking a step.
The 2.5" HyperCrystal™ LCD provides an extra-wide viewing angle and
anti-glare technology that make it easy to compose and shoot. Plus, it lets
you share photos with family and friends even in bright, direct sunlight.
Digital Image Stabilization combines high ISO sensitivity and faster
shutter speeds so you can freeze the action to capture sharp, blur-free
images.
Certified as an Olympus Eco-product, this camera has a reduced
environmental footprint across its entire product lifecycle, which
encompasses not only the product and its packaging, but also the
manufacturing and logistical processes in bringing the product to the
marketplace.
Accidents happen, but the Shockproof Stylus 790 SW is nearly accident
proof. A rugged metal body and revolutionary shock-absorbing construction
are designed to withstand a 5-foot drop, bump or other mishap.
Take it swimming, snorkeling or to the water park. The revolutionary system
of waterproof seals and gaskets keeps water out, so you can take movies and
pictures as deep as 10 feet.
It’s the ideal camera for the slopes and sledding with the kids,
because it’s winterized to perform at below-freezing temperatures
(-10°C/14°F).
Face Detection makes it easy to take portraits. It tracks faces within the
frame and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant
photos.
Shadow Adjustment Technology will help you capture all the amazing details
exactly as you see them. You’ll capture smiles, even in backlight
scenes; you’ll pick up detail, even in the shadows cast by bright
sunlight.
Developed for the professional digital SLR, the TruePicTM III Image
Processor redefines image quality by delivering true-to-life color,
smoother edges and less noise.
