 Click on the Stylus 1000 to take a QuickTime VR tour
Olympus’ exclusive TruePic TURBO™ Image Processor, coupled with a 10-megapixel image sensor, produces crisp, high quality photos. The fast startup of less than one second and nearly instant shutter release time ensures a high-speed response so you are always ready to take great pictures. The inclusion of 24 shooting modes offers versatility across a variety of shooting situations. Plus, with QuickTime® Movie Mode, the camera can also record VGA-quality videos with sound. The Stylus 1000 includes a Digital Image Stabilization Mode, which boosts ISO sensitivity and shutter speed for capturing crisp, clear pictures that are free from the blur sometimes caused by camera shake or moving subjects - in virtually any shooting situation. For unanticipated blurry images, Digital Image Stabilization Edit presents an easy solution for retouching a blurry image right in the camera after the image has already been captured. An electro-gyro sensor embedded in the camera tracks the vertical and horizontal movement of the camera, and then uses this information to revert the image back to its original position to sharpen and reduce blurs in the image. With a new Help GUIDE function, the Stylus 1000 makes every last one of its features accessible, even to novice users. By simply dialing in the GUIDE button on the back of the camera, users can access images and brief descriptions of each of the camera’s functions and scene modes. And the new Shooting Guide serves as a quick reference, walking users through the camera settings with explanations of which features should be used for the situation, along with instructions for how to make the necessary adjustments.
The compact, all-weather Stylus 1000 can go virtually anywhere you can. The body is constructed of durable, lightweight metal with rubber gaskets throughout the interior to ensure that rain, sleet, snow won't get in
the way of great photos. And with its new optimized battery design, the Stylus 1000 can take hundreds of shots between charges. Connecting to a computer is easy with the USB Auto Connect feature, which connects
directly via USB cable and requires no software. Or, If you prefer, forget the computer altogether. The power of PictBridge technology enables photos to be printed directly from the camera to any PictBridge-enabled
printer without using a computer. The one-touch “Print” button makes printing a single-step process. Printing and sharing images has never been easier!
