Olympus FE-130 News Release Summary:
Melville, New York, January 26, 2006 - Olympus today introduces
the latest models of its FE line of point-and-shoot digital
cameras that combine ease-of-use, style, and performance to
deliver a seamless digital experience. The 5.1-megapixel FE-130
and the 6.0-megapixel FE-140 produce high-quality images at
affordable prices. But one of the greatest assets of these
cameras is their built-in Help Guide that can take users from
menus that describe the cameras' functions directly to the
settings needed to take a picture (without the need to carry a
manual along!).
"I believe the Olympus FE-Series cameras provide the best
selection of features for first time users to explore digital
photography. Features such as the Built-In Help Guide, One-Touch
buttons, direct printing, and pre-set scene modes are designed
for absolute ease of use," said Naoki Tai, product manager,
Olympus Imaging America Inc. "Even though these models are
priced affordably, the FE-130 and 140 offer incredible image
quality."
Built-in Help Guide for Easy Operation
The enhanced Help Guide on the FE-130 and FE-140 cameras
incorporates: a built-in manual that explains all of the
terminology of specific functions; a reference that explains the
pre-programmed scene modes; and a tutorial "shooting guide" that
educates users on how to accomplish specific effects, such as
"shooting into backlight" and "adjusting coloration." The
shooting guide not only provides detailed descriptions for
various photographic scenarios, but also actually sets the
camera with the touch of a button, making the transition from
learning to doing instantaneous.
One Touch Design - Quick and Easy Access with Individual Buttons
The FE-Series cameras feature an easy-to-use "One Touch" design
with individual buttons for shooting, reviewing and deleting
images conveniently located on the top of the cameras with icons
so that frequently used functions can be accessed easily. The
Help Guide, direct print, zoom and delete options are at your
fingertips. Macro mode, Flash mode and a self-timer are located
on an arrow pad for quick use while setting up the perfect
composition.
Pre-Set Shooting Modes Make It Easy to Capture Great Images
The inclusion of 22 shooting modes accessed via a rotating dial
and menu button on the back of the camera makes it easy to
capture great images in a variety of lighting situations, such
as Sunset, Portrait, and Night Scene. QuickTime® Movie mode
enables users to create short movies of events that can be
emailed to family and friends.
Digital Image Stabilization Mode
The FE-130/140 features Digital Image Stabilization Mode for
capturing crisp, clear pictures - free from the blur sometimes
caused by camera shake or moving subjects - with high ISO
sensitivity and fast shutter speed.
Large LCDs Provide Clear Images
The large LCDs (2 inches for FE-130, 2.5 inches for FE-140) make
it easier to see clear images when composing shots, as well as
when gathering friends and family around to view the results,
all without having to lug a laptop around to present your
portable photo gallery exhibit.
Total 12x Seamless Zoom
The 3x optical zoom lens of the FE-130 and FE-140 cameras is a
6.3 - 18.9mm (38 - 114mm equivalent in 35mm photography) that
combines with a 4x digital zoom to deliver a total 12x zoom, so
virtually no photo opportunity is out of reach. The
high-resolution CCD image sensors of the FE-Series cameras
capture all the details in your images to create prints without
a loss of clarity. The cameras produce high-quality prints that
can be cropped and enlarged to 8 x 10 inches and larger.
Fast Response with TruePic TURBO Image Processor
The millions of pixels on the CCD image sensors of the FE-130
and FE-140 integrate with Olympus' exclusive image processor,
TruePic TURBOTM to significantly enhance image quality and
deliver faster overall processing speeds for rapid startup,
shutter release and playback. TruePic TURBO enables the cameras
to capture information from every pixel with pixel
"micro-smoothing" that delivers clearer and more color-accurate
photos, even at lower resolutions. Superb high-quality images
that are consistently sharp and vivid even in large-format
prints are the result. The fast startup and nearly instant
shutter release time ensures a high-speed response so you are
always ready to take great pictures.
In-Camera Editing Features
The new FE-Series enables users to add colorful borders and
titles on their images, adjust brightness and saturation, crop
and resize images, switch from color to black and white or
sepia, even red-eye fix- all without using a computer.
Simple Connection to PC
Connecting any FE-Series camera to a computer is easy with the
USB Auto Connect feature, which connects the camera directly via
USB 2.0 cable and requires no software.
OLYMPUS Master Software
Back at the Windows® PC or Mac®, OLYMPUS Master software
provides the ultimate in digital imaging management. An
intuitive user interface makes downloading to your computer
quick and simple. Images are searchable by date or keyword in
the Calendar View. With one-click editing tools, such as red-eye
reduction, images can be touched up before printing or emailing.
Online support, templates and other user services are just a
mouse-click away.

The FE-130 and the FE-140 will be available in March 2006.
