Robust enough to go anywhere - Playing it
tough with the Olympus µ (mju) 720 SW
Waterproof to 3m* and resistant to falls from up to
1.5m*, the rugged Olympus µ (mju) 720 SW provides
protection against the knocks and bumps of everyday
life. Its shock and waterproof attributes truly let this
model be taken anywhere, thereby opening up an entirely
new array of shooting possibilities. Of course, the
camera convinces through outstanding image quality too.
With 7.1 million pixels, stunningly detailed
compositions are guaranteed. And thanks to BrightCapture
Technology, the µ (mju) 720 SW not only produces amazing
results – even in low-light conditions – but also
provides a significantly brighter view on the 6.4cm LCD.
The camera’s stylish metal body is available in a choice
of three exciting colours: Dusky Pink, Polar Blue and
Steel Silver.
Imagine your camera is struck by a football at a
lively children’s birthday party, or you trip and fall
into a puddle with the camera in your pocket – the list
with examples of what can go wrong is neverending.
Luckily, with the µ (mju) 720 SW, Olympus introduces a
camera that is largely immune to such mishaps. It can
withstand being dropped from normal handling heights of
up to 1.5m* and is waterproof to 3m*, letting it go
beyond the shoreline.
Boasting a powerful 7.1 million pixels, the µ (mju) 720
SW captures images in sparkling detail. Matched with a
bright, 3x zoom lens (equivalent to 38-114mm on a 35mm
camera), photographers can rely on this model for
impressive shooting results. Framing and playback of
compositions is easy and fun on the camera’s generous
6.4cm LCD. The incorporation of BrightCapture
Technology, meanwhile, enhances the outcome of images in
low-light conditions as well as displaying subjects up
to 4x brighter on the high-contrast monitor.
The µ (mju) 720 SW features 24 scene modes for
exceptional shooting versatility. Supporting the
camera’s waterproof attributes, these include modes
specially designed for underwater shots. For divers
whose interests lie deeper beneath the water’s surface,
the optional PT-033 underwater case boosts the camera’s
waterproof abilities to an astounding 40m.
Easy use is assured via a Guide Function that
explains the different camera operations directly on the
LCD. A movie function is naturally also included – it
records clips in VGA quality, whereby length is only
limited by the available memory. Images and movies can
be stored either to internal memory or onto optional
xD-Picture Cards. In addition, the camera features
PictBridge support, allowing images to be printed on
compatible printer models (e.g. Olympus P-11) without
the need to go via a PC.
Thanks to its water and shockproof design, the
high-performance µ (mju) 720 SW is optimally protected
against the wear-and-tear of everyday use. This
enormously tough yet strikingly compact camera will be
available form spring 2006 in the colours Dusky Pink,
Polar Blue and Steel Silver.
* Shockproof according to Olympus test methods.
Waterproof equivalent to the IEC standard publication
529 IPX8.
