Melville, New York, January 26, 2006 - The new 7.1 megapixel
SP-320 digital camera from Olympus introduces state-of-the-art
features that enable photographers of all skill levels to
express their creative visions. With the convenience of over 30
shooting modes or the option of using manual settings for more
creative control, the SP-320 is a highly versatile camera with
superb ergonomic design, powerful enough for advanced user yet
simple enough for a beginner to capture incredible images.
Available add-on accessory lenses, flashes, and an underwater
housing further expand the photographic options of the SP-320.
"The new SP-320 digital camera offers a unique combination of
power and versatility for users of all skill levels," said
Michael Barnett, product manager, Olympus Imaging America Inc.
"This full-featured camera allows advanced users to produce
professional-quality results, and beginners are assured amazing
images with the SP-320's convenient automatic settings."
7.1-Megapixel Image Sensor for Superior Image Quality
The 7.1-megapixel CCD image sensor inside the SP-320 delivers
high-quality images that are consistently sharp and vivid even
in large-format prints – up to poster sizes as large as 16 x
20 inches.
High Quality Olympus Lens Elements
Olympus photos are known worldwide for sharp, vibrant image
quality. This is achieved through a number of key technologies,
such as Olympus' high-refractive-index aspherical lens elements,
designed specifically for digital cameras. The lens provides the
equivalent of 38 to 114 mm focal length, f2.8 - f 4.9 in 35mm
photography, with 15x combined total zoom (3x optical and 5x
digital) to bring the action closer, and a Super Macro Mode that
captures the most subtle details from as close as 0.8" (2cm) .
Large 2.5-Inch LCD
Composing and reviewing images is far easier when you don't have
to strain. The 115,000-pixel anti-glare LCD enables you to view
images in large and vivid detail. Now you don't have to download
and print images each time you want to share them - you can
treat your friends and family to a slide show right on the back
of your camera.
Full Manual & Automatic Control
The Manual, Aperture Priority, and Shutter Priority modes give
users versatility and control for optimal performance in any
situation. Users can express their creative vision - adjusting
the f-stop for detailed portraits with softened backgrounds, or
slowing the exposure speed to create the blurred effect of
motion, or just sit back and let the camera do the work with the
automatic settings.
Digital Image Stabilization Mode
The SP-320 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.
Selectable Shooting Modes
The SP-320 makes it easy to capture great images in a variety of
lighting situations with 31 pre-programmed shooting modes, such
as Night Scene, Indoor, Portrait, Beach, Snow, or Auction. And
with its QuickTime® Movie Mode, the camera can record
VGA-quality movies of any length.
Accessory Lenses & Flashes for Expanded Capabilities
Olympus' SP-series cameras feature a threaded barrel, which
enables easy attachment of add-on wide-angle or telephoto
conversion lenses for even more creative control. Compatible
accessory lenses include the WCON-07F wide angle lens, which
enables a wider field of view (26.6mm equivalent) for shooting
skylines, landscapes or group shots, and the TCON-17F telephoto
conversion lens, which extends the camera's magnification
capability by 1.7 times (196mm equivalent) for bringing subjects
dramatically closer, great for shooting sports events, concerts
or wildlife.
TruePic TURBO for High-Speed Response
Olympus' exclusive TruePic TURBOTM Image Processor enhances
image quality and delivers faster overall processing speeds for
rapid startup, shutter release and playback. TruePic TURBO
enable the cameras to capture information with pixel
"micro-smoothing" that delivers clearer and more color-accurate
photos, even at lower resolutions. The fast startup of less than
one second and nearly instant shutter release time ensures a
high-speed response so you are always ready to take great
pictures.
PictBridge Enabled - No Computer Necessary!
The power of PictBridgeTM technology enables photos to be
printed directly from the camera to any PictBridge-enabled
printer without using a computer. And the new one-touch printing
button makes printing a single-step process. Printing and
sharing images has never been easier!
In-Camera Editing
With in-camera editing features such as Red-Eye Fix, resizing,
color, brightness and saturation adjustments, and adding frames
and titles, users can edit photos right in their camera. Simple
image touch-ups are quick and easy without the hassle of a PC.
Style and Ergonomics
With the new SP-series cameras, Olympus returns to the
traditional compact appearance of its range-finder cameras. At a
compact size of just 3.9 " W x 2.6" H x 1.4" D and weighing less
than 7 ounces, the SP-320 tucks away easily into a pocket or
backpack. And the ergonomic grip makes it easy to hold and
steady the camera with one hand for fast and easy shooting.
Underwater Photography
The PT-030 underwater housing is created specially for the
SP-series camera - so you can take your camera with you on your
underwater excursions. The large 2.5-inch premium size LCD,
compact body size, and three underwater scene modes make it the
perfect camera to take along diving.
Easy USB Auto-Connect
Connecting the camera to a computer is easy with the USB
Auto-Connect feature, which connects directly via USB 2.0 cable
and requires no software.
OLYMPUS Master Software
OLYMPUS Master software provides the ultimate in digital imaging
management. An intuitive user interface makes downloading to
your computer quick and simple, and images are searchable by
date or keyword in the Calendar View. And with one-click editing
tools, such as red-eye removal, images can be touched up before
printing or emailing. Online support, templates, firmware
upgrades and other user services are just a mouse-click away.

The SP-320 will be available in March 2005. It includes: Wrist
Strap, Camera WIN/Mac USB Cable, Video cable, 2 AA batteries,
Quick Start Guide, Basic Manual, Warranty Card, CD-ROM with
