Olympus SP-560 Ultra Zoom

With an 18x zoom range that extends from 27mm wide angle to 486mm super telephoto the SP-560UZ covers the widest focal-length range of any compact digital camera in the world today. Thanks to its super telephoto power, users can capture the look of concentration on a football player's face as he prepares for a penalty kick, or the smiles of children waiting for the start of a school athletic event. By combining the power of an 18x optical zoom lens with the digital zoom function, users can enjoy up to 100x zoom (2700mm) which is even powerful enough to capture frame-filling images of the moon.

To reduce camera shake and subject motion blurring that tend to be a problem at high telephoto settings, the SP-560UZ is also equipped with state-of-the-art Sensor-Shift Image Stabilisation and high ISO sensitivity. As a result, you can experience fewer missed shots when working in low light or with active subjects, and can obtain sharper, clearer images even at high telephoto settings.

Olympus Face Detection and Shadow Adjust ensures sharp focus on the subject's face, and displays a green frame on the LCD monitor to indicate when faces are detected. It also recognises when there are no people in the frame, and automatically adjusts the focus and exposure accordingly. The result of the adjustments is displayed in real-time on the LCD screen, making it easy for users to see how the main subject and background will appear in the captured image.

Thanks to the high speed of its CCD sensor response, the SP-560UZ offers the world's fastest continuous shooting speed of 15 frames per second. It's a great way to capture football goals, golf swings, or any other fast-moving subject, and enables users to pick the best shot from the series. The maximum number of frames that can be taken at this speed has also been increased from 20 to 40, enabling longer shooting sequences than ever before. In addition, the Pre-Capture function reduces the number of missed photo opportunities by automatically capturing 10 frames in the camera's buffer memory immediately prior to shutter release.
