8.0 Million Pixels
The 8-megapixel CCD image sensor inside the Stylus 820 delivers high-quality images that are consistently sharp and vivid even when printed in large formats.
.
5x Optical Zoom
The Stylus 820 features cutting-edge lens technology that enables the 5x optical zoom lens (36 - 180mm, equivalent in 35mm photography) to bring the action five times closer, and then tuck away into the camera's compact body.
.
Digital Image Stabilization
Digital Image Stabilization freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds that prevent blurry images often caused by a moving subject. The Stylus 820 also features DIS Edit, which enables the user to retouch blurry photos right in the camera.
.
Stylish, Ergonomic Body Design and All-Weather Durability
The Stylus 820 digital camera features a lightweight metal body with rubber gaskets throughout the interior to ensure that rain, sleet, and snow will not get in the way of great photos. Additionally, the ultra-compact camera body is less than 1-inch thick.
.
Large HyperCrystal LCD
The Stylus 820 boasts a large, high-resolution 2.7-inch HyperCrystal LCD with high contrast and anti-glare technology for clear visibility, even when composing pictures in bright sunlight. Images are viewable on the LCD screen from 176 degrees, so photos can be composed from a range of angles and viewed by several people at once.
.
Face Detection Technology
Face Detection Technology tracks the face within the frame automatically focuses (Face Detection AF) and optimizes exposure (Face Detection AE) for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures. Even if your subjects are moving, the camera continuously tracks your subjects' faces without having to press the shutter button.
.
Shadow Adjustment Technology
Shooting outdoors in bright daylight can be tricky because of the extreme contrast between dark shadowed areas and bright sunlight areas - while the human eye is capable of detecting the nuances between dark and light and all the details in between, image sensors traditionally have not been quite as sensitive. The Stylus cameras address this challenge head-on with a new Shadow Adjustment Technology, which compensates for extreme contrast where the shadow areas are underexposed and lack visible detail. With the new technology, users can preview and capture images that have the same contrast as seen with the naked eye.
.
Perfect Shot Preview
The Perfect Shot Preview mode enables users to preview and select various photographic effects on a live, multi-window screen before snapping the shot, ensuring users are capturing the exact image they want. It is an ideal way for novice users to learn about the effects of different photography techniques, such as zoom, exposure compensation, white balance, and metering.
.
TruePic III Image Processor
The exclusive Olympus TruePic III image processor was developed for the demanding performance of Digital SLR (single lens reflex) cameras. Olympus' enhanced TruePic III Image Processor produces crystal clear photos using all the pixel information for each image to deliver superior picture quality with more accurate colors, true-to-life flesh tones, and faster processing speeds.
.
In-Camera Panorama
The in-camera panoramic capability captures three images and stitches them together to create one amazing panoramic picture. Users can easily do this by pressing the shutter button and slowly panning across a panoramic scene. The second and third images will be automatically captured and stitched together with the first image - resulting in one panoramic-size picture. To create the ultimate panoramic picture, consumers can use the Olympus Master Software 2 (included) to stitch up to 10 images together to produce an even larger panoramic image.
.
Bright Capture Technology
Olympus' Bright Capture Technology makes it possible to clearly compose and capture subjects on the LCD in low light and allows high sensitivity settings and rapid auto-focus to be used for fast-action photos to be captured with low levels of available light. Plus, Bright Capture Movie lets consumers record the moments in the dark even after the candles are blown out.
.
Preset Shooting Modes
The Stylus 820 offers 24 shooting modes to make it easy to take great photos in a variety of scenarios and lighting situations. Simply select the desired mode for portraits, landscapes, night scenes, fast-action, macro, and more.
.
In-Camera Editing
With the Perfect Fix, multiple editing features can be applied at once. The Stylus 820 features Red-Eye Fix, Lighting Fix, Digital Image Stabilization Edit, and other in-camera editing features such as resizing, frames, text options, color brightness, and saturation adjustments to enable users to edit photos right in the camera.
