µ SW series styling was revamped for the µ 1050SW. With the addition of a sliding lens cover and elegant new body colors, the camera offers a beautifully balanced combination of toughness and stylish design.
Like other Olympus µ SW series cameras, the µ 1050SW also combines rugged construction with stylish, compact design. Dustproof and waterproof to a depth of 3 meters, it is ideal for use at beaches and pools, and can even be used when surfing or engaging in other marine sports. The body clears 1.5-meter drop-impact tests, enabling active use at campsites and outdoors, and carefree handling even when operated by children. Operation is also guaranteed at temperatures as low as -10 degree, making the µ 1050SW a great take-along camera for winter sports and mountain climbing.
Resistant to damage by water, sand, dust, impact, and cold, the µ 1050SW is as at home as it is in the rough, enabling users to capture precious memories in any season, at any location.
Olympus Face & Background control face detection has been increased from 3 to 16 faces, and together with Shadow Adjustment Technology, assures that faces are in focus, and foreground and background elements are properly exposed. Even when shooting outdoors or with a window behind the subject in backlit situations where the subject's face would normally be underexposed, Face & Background control helps assure beautiful results.
The µ 1050SW also incorporates proprietary Olympus TruePic III image processing that suppresses noise, smoothes edges, and assures faithful reproduction of even the palest colors. Working as a team with the camera's high-resolution lens and 10.1-megapixel image sensor, it also helps to ensure truly outstanding image quality.
The µ 1050SW features the latest advances in digital technology and a newly developed 'Tap Control' mode. In this mode, users can control shutter release, camera settings, and image playback simply by tapping the top or sides of the camera body, or the surface of the LCD monitor, enabling a totally new, fun and convenient, method of operation. Tapping can be used to switch face detection perfect shot and flash operation on or off, as well as to control image display and slideshow playback. There's even a new Scene Program called 'Snow' that allows all essential operations to be performed via tapping, ensuring easy operation when wearing ski gloves. In addition to tapping, functions such as slideshow speed can also be controlled simply by tilting the camera, creating an entirely new sensation that increases the fun of camera ownership.
