Description
Vivid movies and close-ups bring memories of holidays and other trips to life. That's why the latest star of Olympus' compact SZ `Super Zoom' Series comes with Multi-motion Movie Image Stabilisation (Movie IS) and a massive 24x wide optical zoom lens (25-600mm*). With this powerful new compact, you can zoom right in to shoot close-ups without capturing your own shadow or disturbing your subject. Cutting-edge Multi-motion Movie IS complements it's High Definition Movie capability by reducing blur. It delivers HD movies that are crisp and vivid, even when you're filming moving subjects while walking yourself, for example on the beach with friends and family. With a host of creative Magic Filters you can add a whole range of special effects to your images directly on-camera. The SZ-14 even offers the new Fragmented filter.
Multi-motion Movie IS
The cutting edge technology of Movie IS complements the camera's High Definition Movie capability by reducing blur. The result is that even when you're filming fast moving subjects and simultaneously on the move yourself, the resulting HD video that is clear, crisp and vivid. Now Movie IS ensures that 720p HD recordings couldn't be better defined, while allowing more adventurous and faster paced filming, including tracking shots without the need for a cumbersome tripod.
24x wide optical zoom & 14 megapixel resolution
Although compact in size, quality hasn't been compromised. Offering a focal range the equivalent of 25-600mm in 35mm film terms that stays true to Olympus' remarkable world class pedigree, users of the SZ-14 can zoom right in on close detail from afar without having to physically take one step nearer. A 14-megapixel resolution also helps ensure that shots are detail rich every time.
11 Magic Filters for turning the everyday into the extraordinary
Specifically designed to expand the creative potential of digital photography, this impressive function of the SZ-14 utilises in-camera image processing technology to effortlessly transform the everyday into extraordinary scenes. Simple to operate, the filters allow users to create entirely new worlds with their images. From vibrant colours and pencil drawings to mysterious or rounded perspectives, artistic spirits can magically turn ideas into reality. What's more, most of the filters can be used when recording video as well as shooting stills - a first in the SZ-14's product category.
Users can choose from Punk, Pop Art, Pin Hole, Drawing, Fish Eye, Soft Focus, Sparkle, Watercolour, Miniature, Reflection or new addition Fragmented.
Large bright LCD display for composition and review
With the Olympus SZ-14 users can enjoy their images on a large three-inch, high 460,000-dot resolution LCD display. There is also the ability to view them in glorious high definition on a flat panel TV set courtesy of HDMI output.
Eye-Fi card compatible
Connectivity is also enhanced by the SZ-14 being compatible with Eye-Fi media cards, enabling automatic wireless downloading of pictures, straight to your desktop, and facilitating photo sharing
3D shooting & in-camera Panorama feature
The Olympus range is now enhanced by optional 3D shooting mode, lending images a striking sense of depth. This mode captures two shots from two different angles to create shots that can be viewed on a 3D compatible display.
Dual Image Stabilisation
A bugbear of bigger zoom cameras is the propensity for camera shake at longer focal lengths, when shooting handheld or in lower lighting conditions. Olympus therefore offers not one but two means of reducing the potentially damaging effects of image blur.
As a further help, light sensitivity settings between ISO80-1600 are also manually selectable. Alternatively, turn on the built-in flash
Pixel rich picture quality
The Olympus SZ-14 doesn't just deliver the goods on paper. In practice, with a 14 megapixel top photo resolution, TruePic III+ image processor, and 720p High Definition video recording, the manufacturer's trademark pixel rich image quality is very much in evidence - even when pictures are viewed on a large screen television via HDMI output
USB battery charging
Connect the camera to a computer and let the battery charge while you save and organise your images
