The Olympus µ 1200: Elegance meets ingenuity

Introducing the brilliant Olympus µ 1200. It packs an incredible 12 Megapixels and boasts a number of leading-edge innovations including Face Detection Technology for the proper exposure and focusing of faces. In addition, Shadow Adjustment Technology has been integrated to detect dark areas in a composition and optimises exposure for a more realistic image. This powerful addition to the stylish µ range comes in a weatherproof* metal body in Midnight Black, which protects it against the elements. A giant 6.9cm HyperCrystal LCD makes the framing and reviewing of shots fun and easy – even in direct sunlight. And the incorporation of the new TruePic III image processor ensures the most faithful reproduction of image colours, excellent noise performance and quicker processing speeds.

Built like a champ: A weatherproof* metal body in Midnight Black oozes with style and makes the µ 1200 the ideal companion. Capture you and your friends at the poolside, and don’t miss a thing with a stunning 12 Megapixels of detail-capturing power. Preview and review shots with ease thanks to a giant 6.9cm HyperCrystal LCD which boasts perfect views.

The incorporated BrightCapture Technology brightens shots in low-light conditions, while a 3x optical zoom (equiv. to 35-105mm on a 35mm camera) combines with a 5x digital zoom to get in closer without you changing position. Super Macro mode expands the creative possibilities by getting you as close as 10cm to subjects. And the powerful new TruePic III image processor is the icing on the cake: Its realistic colour reproduction, improved noise performance and quicker overall processing speeds make photography with the µ 1200 even more rewarding.
