Style and ease of use are what characterise the affordable Olympus FE-230. At just 16.5mm slim, its smart stainless metal body cuts a great figure wherever it’s taken. Its easy operation makes capturing photos a snap and 7.1 Megapixels guarantee top-class pictures that will leave any mobile phone camera in the dust. The large 6.4cm LCD ensures framing becomes an accurate affair and viewing the results a sheer pleasure.

Handling is genuinely intuitive, with the camera incorporating a “one button, one function” design principle. A mode dial lets users conveniently choose between the camera’s eight different shooting programmes, which include High ISO Setting mode with ISO 1250, Super Macro and a movie recording function with sound. Ideal for snapshooters, 18 preset scene modes are on board. These include special Underwater modes which, in conjunction with the optionally-available Underwater Case for waterproof protection up to 40m depth, give you the freedom to take fun shots well below the water’s surface. And to make it easy on all European users, the camera has 25 languages on board.

Controlling the camera becomes child’s play. All essential functions like shooting, playback and viewing on the LCD, as well as erasing, are easily activated via a single button. A special shooting mode, where the camera automatically increases ISO sensitivity to allow shorter shutter speeds – which helps to avoid image blur caused by camera shake or by fast-moving objects.Developed by Olympus, the TruePic Turbo image processor automatically enhances important aspects of image quality: colour reproduction (colour range, saturation and brightness), picture sharpness, as well as processing speed.
