Olympus SP-550UZ 7.1MP Digital Camera with Dual
Image Stabilized 18x Optical Zoom

Featuring the world’s
most powerful zoom lens (f/2.8-4.5, 28-504mm
equivalent), the SP-550UZ offers maximum shooting
versatility for travel, sports and everyday use. The
18x super telephoto zoom gets you closer to the
action than any compact digital camera on the
market, and at the same time, the wide-angle lens
gets more into your frame -- perfect for shooting
indoors, landscapes and group shots. The result is
100x total seamless zoom.
Stylus 550UZ
Highlights
7.1 megapixels The SP-550UZ’s high-resolution CCD delivers superior
image quality for larger prints without sacrificing
detail.
Dual image
stabilization The 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 in on your
subject), and digital image stabilization freezes
the action with high ISO sensitivity and faster
shutter speeds. These 2 anti-blur technologies
combine so you can capture crisp, clear images in
any situation.
15fps high-speed
sequential shooting Shoot fast-action sequences
like a pro! At the click of a button, you can take
several shots in rapid succession to capture every
moment of the action. With a burst rate of up to
15fps, you can freeze moments in time to get the
shot you want.
Pre-Capture Pre-Capture begins working as soon as the focus is
locked, automatically archiving five frames in the
camera’s buffer memory prior to the shutter release,
so you’re sure to capture the perfect shot even if
your reaction time is slow.
ISO 5000 The
SP-550UZ offers the highest sensitivity of any ultra
zoom (up to ISO 5000) for superior low light and
fast-action photography. Combine with shutter speeds
of up to 1/2000 seconds to capture fast-action
photos, like sports and pets, with ease.
2.5-inch
high-resolution LCD The large, bright LCD
(230,000 pixels) provides easy shooting and sharing
of your images with friends and family.
Bright Capture
technology Keep it bright even in low light!
When shooting or recording in low light, Bright
Capture allows you to clearly preview your shot on
the LCD and capture brighter, more vivid images --
without a flash.
Full manual
exposure control Provides creative control for
advanced users, yet it’s easy enough for any family
member to point and- shoot beautiful images.
30 shooting
modes including movie with sound Getting the
best shot has never been easier. Preset shooting
modes optimize the camera’s settings for any
shooting situation to ensure you capture a great
shot. Select Scene modes such as Portrait,
Landscape, Night Scene, Sports, Beach and Snow,
Underwater and more. Records TV-quality AVI movies
with sound (640 x 480 resolution at 30fps), up to
the capacity of your xD card.
