| 10x Optical Zoom Lens with Image Stabilization Function |
| Thanks to an Olympus-developed optical image stabilization ( camera-shake reduction ) system, photographers can take advantage of 10x zoom power without hand-shaking and image quality being degraded by camera shake. In addition, Super Tele mode can be switched on to achieve up to 27x zoom, while still retaining full-range optical zoom capability. |

| 15 Frames-per-Second High-Speed Continuous Shooting |
| The CAMEDIA E-100RS features a high-speed CCD with an extremely fast response time, as well as a proprietary 3-bus system for high bit-rate parallel processing, a high-speed JPEG encoder core, parallel-processing algorithms for a variety of processing tasks, an original high-speed FAT system, and a newly developed ASIC incorporating the latest digital technology, all of which work together to significantly shorten processing time. As a result, it is possible to achieve 15 fps high-speed continuous shooting - a speed that sets this camera apart from all previous digital cameras. It also allows photographers to capture fast-moving subjects in a series of photos, and then select the best shot from the series. |
|
| Pre-Capture Function for 'The Right Moment' Image Capture |
| By holding down the shutter button halfway, photographers can "pre-capture" the image seen immediately prior to shutter release. Even if the shutter is not released until immediately after 'the right moment', the desired image will be retained by the pre-capture function. |
|
| Write-to-Memory Cancellation |
| Write-to-memory image storage can be cancelled at any point. Unstored images will be discarded, allowing photographers to quickly respond to new photo opportunities. |
|
| 1.51-Megapixel, High-Speed, 1/2-Inch, Progressive CCD |
| The camera's 1/2-inch CCD features a total of 1.51 million pixels, and was specifically developed for high-speed image capture. Primary-color filtering is used to ensure vivid color reproduction. |
|
| 1/10,000 Second Maximum Shutter Speed |
| The ultra high-speed shutter offers shutter speeds up to 1/10,000th of a second, allowing split-second changes in subjects' facial expressions to be captured. |
|
| 0.55-Inch TFT Color LCD Viewfinder |
| A 0.55-inch TFT color LCD viewfinder ensures parallax-free viewing over the entire range of the 10x zoom lens. In addition, indicators for essential settings are provided inside the viewfinder window. This allows photographers to keep their eye on the subject at all times, and reduces the likelihood of missed opportunities when taking high-power telephoto shots and fast-moving subjects. |
|
| Easy-to-Hold, L-Shaped Body |
| An L-shaped body design was used to meet the handling demands of 10x zoom shooting. It provides a secure, stable grip, and together with the optical image stabilization function, assures high image quality on ultra high-power telephoto shots. |
|
| Easy-to-Use Button Controls and Mode Setting Dial |
| Independent button controls allow quick access to flash, exposure, macro and other frequently adjusted mode settings. An independent power switch is also provided, and all basic camera functions are easy to identify. |
|
| SmartMediaTM and CompactFlashTM Memory Card Slots |
| Dual memory card slots allow 4-128MB 3V ( 3.3V ) SmartMedia and CompactFlash memory cards to be used simultaneously for worry-free, high-resolution shooting. The slots are linked, and a dedicated button is provided for slot switching, In addition, images can be copied from one card to the other. |
|
| Optional Remote Cable Release |
| In addition to the wireless remote control unit that comes with the camera, the optional RM-CB1 Cable Release can be used to release the shutter. |
