Olympus Adds IR-300 Digital Camera and New DVD/CD Reader/Writer To Its Total Imaging Solution

Melville, New York, February 17, 2005 ? Olympus is proud to announce that the new IR-300 Digital Camera and S-DVD-100 DVD/CD Reader/Writer have been added to its Total Imaging Solution family of products.

The IR-300 is an ultra-slim 0.87-inch thick camera with a durable die-cast magnesium body. It features a 2-inch LCD for easy viewing even in bright sunlight, 5.0-megapixels and a 3x optical zoom lens. The camera offers a choice of 19 selectable shooting modes for photography in a wide range of conditions. Simply select a shooting mode and the camera is ready to photograph the situation at hand with the optimum aperture, shutter speed, white balance, color saturation and flash setting. In QuickTime® Movie mode, a camera shake function has been incorporated to reduce image unsteadiness and allow more carefree movie shooting.

For the first time ever, digital photos can be stored on DVD or CD media directly by connecting an IR series digital camera to the S-DVD-100 DVD Reader/Writer, and without involving a PC. This is ideal for people who are not computer-savvy, and DVDs are great for storing and sharing digital images because of their high storage capacities, long storage life, and portability. Just take photos with the IR-300, connect it to the S-DVD-100, burn images to disk, and send your friends home with a DVD of images.
