Introduction

Ideally suited for budget-conscious photographers who want to start shooting right away, the Olympus FE-130 matches good quality with easy operation and a great appearance. Based on a "one button, one function" design principle, the Olympus FE130 caters perfectly to snap-shooters' desires. The exceptional ease of use in no way compromises image quality. 5.1 million pixels ensures crisp, detailed images, and even allow for large-format prints. In addition, a 3x optical zoom lets subjects be brought in close, thereby enhancing flexibility. Easy framing of compositions and fun viewing of results is provided by the 5.1cm LCD screen. The FE 130 makes quality photography fun and easy while also catching the eye.
5.1 Megapixels
With resolutions of 5.1 million pixels, the Olympus FE130 records images in brilliant detail and has the power to produce impressively large print-outs of favourite shots. The flexibility of a precision 3x zoom lens (equivalent to 38-114mm on a 35mm camera) is at the disposal of photographers, to bring subjects far away in close. Meanwhile, the 5.1cm LCD provides for quick and easy framing and enjoyable viewing of the results. With an attractively-rounded design, this amazingly compact model fits snugly in the hand and are light enough to be taken anywhere.
Operation and Scene
Thanks to its "one button, one function" approach, the Olympus FE-130 digital camera is as convenient and uncomplicated for the user as possible. In this way the cameras' functions are quickly and directly accessed. An easy to understand GUI (graphical user interface) further supports photographers and a help function provides clear explanations of the available features so that optimal results can be achieved with minimal effort. 20 scene modes assist users in varying situations, including Sports, Sunset, and Night Scene. So, no matter if composing a portrait shot of a child or photographing a landscape, the cameras automatically adjust to the best settings. Even extreme close-up shooting is a breeze with Super Macro mode, allowing shooting from as little as 5cm.
Waterproof accessory
The ultra-compact form lets photographers take the Olympus FE-130 along to just about anywhere, but to the water? No problem for the Olympus FE 130 with the optional outdoor case. Waterproof to 3m, it provides for incredible freedom during the pursuit of outdoor sports including rafting and snorkelling as well as protecting a digital camera against other harsh conditions.
Memory and Power
Naturally, the Olympus FE 130 also features a movie recording function with maximum shooting time only limited by memory capacity. In addition to 22MB of internal memory, an xD-Picture Card slot lets storage space be boosted to suit user requirements. The camera is powered by two regular AA-size batteries. The FE130 compact digital camera features a multi-language menu and includes the Olympus Master software for easy downloading, organising and editing of images.
Availability
Convincing through a perfect balance between easy shooting and image quality, the Olympus FE-130 lets photographers take simply brilliant pictures with essentially no effort. The camera truly offers great value for money and will be available from March 2006. And adding even more versatility, the optional outdoor case masters the harshest outdoor conditions and is waterproof up to 3m.
