Slim, good looks with twisting lens

Slimline and lightweight the FE-5500 from Olympus offers the convenience of ultra-compact dimensions for easy mobility, yet also boasts high performance and produces excellent results. The special twisting lens provides its unmistakable appearance, and being just 24.3mm thin and extremely light, you will hardly even notice carrying it.

Easy shooting with  5 megapixel quality

Inside the camera, the high quality optical system contains three aspherical lens elements and provides 3x zoom power (equivalent to 35-105mm) 1:2.8-4.8, together with a 4x digital zoom this allows a maximum magnification up to 12x so faraway subjects can be brought in considerably closer. No matter which zoom factor is selected, images will have plenty of detail and definition and come out razor-sharp at a resolution of 5 megapixels. Thanks to a variety of scene programmes, such as sports, indoor or landscape, shooting great shots couldn’t be easier and other features like movie recording with sound and Super Macro mode ensure ease and versatility for your diverse photographic needs.

Extensive versatility

Images and movies can be reviewed and presented on the 2-inch colour LCD monitor and are saved in the 14MB internal memory. For greater storage requirements, a slot for xD-Picture Cards is provided, photographers can then also enjoy the added benefit of a panorama shooting functionality. In addition printing results couldn’t be easier, the FE-5500 adheres to PictBridge standards meaning images can be printed directly on any compatible printer – such as the Olympus P-10 – without the need for a PC.

The FE-5500 comes with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery and charger, USB cable, AV cable and the easy-to-use Olympus Master 1.2 software for managing and editing images on the computer.
