Olympus C- Ultra Zoom firmware d01

The C-740 Ultra Zoom offers a powerful Olympus aspherical ED (extra

dispersion) glass lens to create sharp, even exposure for details

and vibrant colors at distances near or far. The camera's 10X

optical zoom is an equivalent zoom range of 38mm to 380mm. Based on

the popular Olympus C-700 Ultra Zoom series (the world's smallest

optical Ultra Zoom digital cameras), the C-740 provides even more

pixels and has a sleeker, more compact durable body than its

predecessors. Because it uses the miniature xD-Picture Card

exclusively, it measures a mere 4.2" long x 2.6" high x 2.7" wide,

and weighs just 10.4 ounces, making it the perfect travel companion

to go the distance.

The C-740 offers a menu architecture that's easy to navigate to get

the right settings fast. In fully Programmed Auto mode, the camera

offers basic point-and-shoot simplicity for flawless picture taking

in typical situations. The easy-to-use Scene Program on the mode

dial provides fully automatic exposure adjustments for the

photographer who wants optimum results in a wide variety of

settings: Portrait, Self Portrait, Landscape-Portrait, Sports,

Night Scene and Landscape photography. The special "My Mode"

feature saves time by allowing the user to assign frequently used

settings to the mode dial for quick access. Advanced settings

include controls for aperture priority, shutter priority, and full

manual operation and are ideal for experienced photographers who

want to take control.

Transferring images to the computer has never been easier with the

supplied Auto-Connect USB cable for "no software required, "

hassle-free image downloads with the latest Windows and Macintosh

operating systems. Pictures and movies may also be viewed on a

television with the supplied audio-video cable.
