Better photos and improved viewing

One look is all it takes to marvel at the 5.0 million pixel Olympus µ [mju:] 500. Not just because of its undeniably stylish design with new retracting lens barrier and choice of silver and navy blue colours, but also due to its extra-large HyperCrystal LCD monitor. At 6.4cm / 2.5 inches it provides clear, generously sized images and allows viewing from angles as wide as 160°. A precision 3x optical zoom lens (1:3.1-5.2) and TruePic TURBO ensure results come up a real treat.

Users are now also assisted via 20 scene programmes covering the whole range of shooting situations ranging from portraits through to night-time exposures, to even photographing under water. The metal-bodied, weather-proof* µ [mju:] 500 is PictBridge compatible for printing ease, enables videos to be recorded with sound and provides a Super Macro mode for close up work. With the µ [mju:] 500, users can count on great results no matter if printed out, displayed on a TV or computer screen or shown on the integrated, extra-large 6.4cm / 2.5 inch LCD monitor. The LCD uses HyperCrystal technology where the liquid crystal molecules are laid out in a radial pattern, allowing 160° viewing angles from all directions and under virtually any lighting conditions.

Top design and outstanding performance are the hallmarks of this latest offering from the Olympus µ[mju:] family. The 5.0 million pixel µ [mju:] 500 is shipped with a 32MB xD-Picture Card, Olympus Master software, Li-12B rechargeable battery and charger.
