Award-winning Design

The Olympus µ [mju:]-mini S’s shares the same striking and innovative design as the µ [mju:]-mini, which has been awarded the DIWA Design Award. The compact body is crafted from a single sheet of metal, using an exclusive manufacturing process. This, together with a sliding lens barrier that swiftly retracts into the body while the zoom lens extends, gives the Olympus µ [mju:]-mini S a completely smooth and flat design. Added to this, the model comes in a range of iridescent colours – Enamel Black, Champagne, Lagoon Blue and Pink.

Outstanding image quality

The 5.0 million pixels and a precision zoom lens with three aspherical elements ensures that even the most minute details are captured with perfect definition in every photo. The TruePic TURBO image processor also enables the Olympus µ [mju:]-mini S’s fast start-up and reaction times, as well as further guaranteeing superb image quality. 

Versatile range of functions

The new model also incorporates 14 scene programmes, making it easy for users to take shots with the most appropriate setting, ensuring all shots are exposed perfectly, no matter what the situation. There are settings to match every mood, including ‘snow’ for ski-ing holidays through to ‘candlelight’ for romantic dinners. Water sports and outdoor enthusiasts can also use the camera when surfing, snowboarding in deep powder snow or even snorkelling thanks to an optional outdoor case that protects the camera to a depth of three metres.

Many of the functions can also be adjusted manually, such as ISO sensitivity and white balance. Spot measurements for focus and exposure settings also give users more control over their photos and allow greater scope for creativity. For incredibly close-up photos, the Super Macro mode enables shots to be taken from just 8cm away.

It’s also possible to record videos with sound on the Olympus µ [mju:]-mini S, giving an extra dimension to special memories. The length of the video is only limited by the available memory on the xD-Picture Card. 

Seeing is believing

The 4.6cm LCD screen uses HyperCrystal LCT technology to allow amazing 160° viewing angles in all directions, so a number of people can view the screen at the same time - even in strong sunshine. In addition, images can be edited directly on the camera to create a range of effects such as soft focus or ‘fish eye’. Printing photos is also incredibly quick and easy as the Olympus µ(mju:]-mini S is compatible with PictBridge. Any printer adhering to this standard (such as the Olympus P-10) can be used to print photos directly, without the need for a PC.

With its striking design and impressive performance abilities, the weather-proof* 5.0 million pixel Olympus µ [mju:]-mini S is set to continue the runaway success story of the µ [mju:]-mini.
