Olympus Stylus 300 firmware

For 2003 Olympus takes their best-selling 35mm point-and-shoot film

camera series and adapts them for today's digital consumers. The

new Stylus Digital line of cameras are stylish, ultra-compact,

weather resistant and very easy to use. The first members of this

new line are the 3.2 Megapixel Stylus 300 Digital which is

available now and the 4.0 Megapixel Stylus 400 Digital, available

starting in April.

The Stylus 300 Digital has a sliding lens barrier accented in

silver and the Stylus 400 Digital is accented in gold. Measuring an

ultra-compact 3.8" long x 2.2" high x 1.3" wide, and weighing just

5.8 ounces, the Stylus Digital delivers maximum portability and

durability for an active, on-the-go lifestyle. These cameras are

not only attractive, they're also weather resistant for great shots

come rain or shine. The lightweight and ergonomic aluminum body

provides all-weather protection from the elements and can even

survive a downpour. To learn more about the Stylus Digital's

The Stylus Digital cameras offer basic point-and-shoot simplicity

for flawless picture taking. For photographers who want optimum

results in a wide variety of settings, the easy-to-use Creative

Scene Modes provide fully automatic exposure adjustments for

Portrait, Self-Portrait, Landscape-Portrait, and Sports or Action

photography. Other controls include Digital ESP multi-pattern and

spot metering; auto white balance; multiple flash settings

including slow sync flash; and auto bracketing and exposure

compensation. The camera comes with a built-in flash that offers 6

settings to provide the widest range of options.

The cameras have an optical viewfinder as well as an easy-to-view

1.5" color LCD display on the back of the body for composing and

reviewing shots. Menu navigation is easy to control with the push

of arrow buttons. Transferring images to the computer is easy with

the Auto-Connect USB (that does not require software drivers) for

hassle-free image downloads. Images may also be viewed on a

television with the video cable.
