4.0-MEGAPIXEL CCD ( EFFECTIVE ) & NEWLY DEVELOPED 10X OPTICAL ZOOM LENS |
Taking the CAMEDIA ULTRAZOOM concept of combining a high-resolution CCD with an ultra-high-power zoom lens one step further, the CAMEDIA C-750 Ultra Zoom is the first 10x optical zoom digital camera in the world to feature 4.0-megapixel CCD (effective). For leisure activities and spectator sports, this makes it possible to take ultra-telephoto shots with even higher image quality.
The newly designed 7-group, 11-element lens features an ED ( Extra-low Dispersion ) lens element like the ones used in high-quality SLR telephoto lenses, as well as two aspherical lens elements, high index lens elements, and a low-dispersion lens element. In addition, many of the lens elements are multi-coated. As a result of these design improvements, the lens offers superior resolving power and reduced aberration at high zoom magnifications and long focal lengths.
The inclusion of TruPic processing and other advanced image processing technologies also helps ensure class-leading image quality. Outstanding color fidelity and low noise are ensured by the same proper gamma technology and advanced noise filter featured on the Olympus compact digital camera flagship, the CAMEDIA C-5050ZOOM. High image quality is also aided by a noise reduction function that suppresses the noise that occurs when shooting at night, and by an advanced anti-vibration program that regulates shutter speed, flash, and ISO sensitivity to reduce the blurring that can be caused by camera shake.

THE WORLD'S MOST COMPACT 10X OPTICAL ZOOM MODEL |
By reducing circuitry requirements, body volume has been reduced by 30% in comparison to previous CAMEDIA ULTRAZOOM models. Overall dimensions are 107.5 ( W ) x 66mm ( H ) x 68mm ( D ), making the CAMEDIA C-750 Ultra Zoom extremely portable and easy to carry, and the thinnest and most compact of all the CAMEDIA ULTRAZOOM cameras.
|
IMPROVED MOTION-IMAGE CAPABILITY |
The CAMEDIA C-750 Ultra Zoom also features the broad motion streaming technology first introduced on the CAMEDIA C-730 ULTRAZOOM, and can achieve up to 56 minutes of motion-image recording when using 256MB memory media to the fullest. A built-in microphone and speaker are also provided to allow on-the-spot playback with audio. In addition, Fast Play and Reverse Play modes have been added to extend motion-image capabilities even further. The result is a camera that allows users to enjoy both still and moving-image photography without the need to carry a separate video camera.
|
A WIDE RANGE OF ACCESSORIES |
Two new conversion lenses are available for the CAMEDIA C-750 Ultra Zoom: a 0.7x wide-angle conversion lens and a 1.7x tele conversion lens. The wide-angle conversion lens offers 27mm wide-angle capability (35mm film camera equivalent), while the tele conversion lens boosts the maximum zoom telephoto setting of 380mm up to 646mm (35mm film camera equivalent). When used in tandem with the digital zoom (which normally boosts telephoto performance up to a maximum of 1520mm), a maximum focal length of 2584mm is possible - providing a truly astounding range of shooting options for such a compact camera.
In addition, a hot shoe is provided to allow an optional FL-20 external flash to be attached. Developed specifically for use with Olympus digital cameras, the FL-20 adds full-featured flash shooting to the camera's performance capabilities.
Finally - and for the first time in the CAMEDIA ULTRAZOOM series - underwater capability has been added with the provision of the PT-018 Water Protector, which allows shooting to depths of 40m.

DISTINCTIVE DESIGN & OUTSTANDING EASE OF USE |
The front and back of the body, as well as the lens trim, are constructed of aluminum, adding a distinctive touch of quality to the overall design. The aluminum back has also been given a hairline finish that further emphasizes the camera's lasting quality.
Compared to previous CAMEDIA ULTRAZOOM models, the CAMEDIA C-750 Ultra Zoom is much slimmer and more compact, yet it offers the same handling ease and comfortable grip. Controls are positioned properly so that they are easy to operate with the right thumb when the camera is held in the shooting position, and the response time of the built-in LCD monitor has been speeded up. In every detail, the CAMEDIA C-750 Ultra Zoom is designed for enhanced operating ease.

ADVANCED SHOOTING FUNCTIONS |
 |
 |
 |
Super Macro Mode |
The camera's Super Macro mode allows shooting from a distance of only 3cm. With the CAMEDIA C-750 Ultra Zoom, users can enjoy both telephoto and macro shooting, and capture virtually any type of scene or subject, with a single camera.
|
 |
Histogram Display |
Histograms that show the relationship between subject illumination and current exposure settings can be displayed during or after shooting. By visually confirming histogram data on the built-in LCD monitor, users can exercise more precise exposure control, and better achieve their creative intent by taking full advantage of the CCD's dynamic range.
|
 |
A Choice of Scene Program Modes and " My Mode " Settings |
In addition to Full Auto, Aperture-Priority, Shutter-Speed-Priority, and Manual shooting modes, there are six Scene Program Modes - Portrait, Sports, Landscape-Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, and Self-Portrait - that make it easy to set optimum exposure values in virtually any shooting situation. What's more, up to four customizable 'My Mode' settings can be stored in memory, allowing users to instantly access their most frequently used setting configurations.

 |
Versatile White Balance Settings |
Advanced iESP II Auto White Balance provides higher color fidelity for more natural skin tones in mixed-source lighting conditions. In addition, there is a One-Touch White Balance setting, as well as preset white balance settings for Daylight, Overcast, Tungsten Light, and three types of Fluorescent Light ( Daylight, White Daylight, and White ).
|
 |
Autofocus Area Selection |
When camera movement is restricted by tripod use, users can reposition the autofocus target area two steps up, down, left, or right from the center of the frame, retaining creative control while ensuring correct focus.
|
 |
Easy-to-Use Digital Editing Functions |
Basic digital editing tasks can easily be performed in the camera without downloading images or using a computer. Because the edited images are stored as a separate file, users never need to worry that the original data will be overwritten.
|
 |
 |
Resizing |
If users want to create a smaller-sized file to send as an e-mail attachment, for example, they can easily do so right in the camera.
|
 |
Trimming |
Photos can easily be trimmed in the camera to reduce image/file size and eliminate unnecessary elements from the frame.
|
|
 |
All-in-One Packaging |
All-in-one packaging includes everything necessary to download, edit, and organize image files, ensuring that even first-time users can begin enjoying the benefits of digital photography right away. |
