PRESS SUMMARY |
 The extremely compact Olympus C-180 makes taking photos a breeze. Featuring a “one button, one function” design and choice of seven scene programmes, the C-180 is easy-to-use and delivers perfect results every time. Utilising Olympus' TruePic TURBO image processor and featuring an accurate autofocus, the C-180 never fails to produce consistently high-quality images. Pictures are stored in the internal 14MB memory or onto an optional xD-Picture Card and a movie recording function rounds off the impressive range of features.
Supplied with the Olympus Master software, which enables easy file management, this easy-to-use 5.1 million pixel camera will be available from June 2005 and will have an estimated street price of £130
The new C-180 includes a whole host of functions designed to make taking high-quality photos exceedingly straightforward. The “one button, one function” design principle ensures remarkably easy operation, while the combination of 5.1 million pixel resolution, a bright autofocus lens and TruePic TURBO advanced image processor guarantee first-class picture results. Close-ups are also possible thanks to the 4x digital zoom.
Even complete beginners will have no problems producing stunning results. The C-180 offers a wide range of scene programmes and provides a virtual help function to take the guesswork out of operating the camera. A comprehensible six-language menu further enhances ease of use and additional languages are available as downloads from the Internet.
This model boasts a 1.5” (3.8cm) LCD monitor, enabling the easy framing and reviewing of photos and movies. Results are saved to the 14MB internal memory or onto optional xD-Picture Cards, which are available in capacities of up to 1GB – enough for hundreds of photos. And as you would expect from such a user-friendly camera, printing images is a simple one-step procedure. Thanks to PictBridge support, the need for a computer has become a thing of the past. To enjoy high-quality printouts, you need only connect the camera directly to a compatible printer, such as the Olympus P-10.
To power the C-180, you have the choice between one CRV-3 cell or two AA batteries, so there's no need to worry about running out of power in places where specialised batteries or a recharging unit are not available.
