Boasting 8.0 Megapixels of detail-capturing power, the Olympus FE-280 takes you further with the greatest of ease. BrightCapture Technology coupled with Face Detection Technology - for the most accurate depiction of human subjects , guarantees images of the highest quality with no extra effort on your part. A 3x optical zoom comes together with the large 2.5-inch LCD to make framing and reviewing shots a breeze. The integrated TruePic III image processor ensures that every pixel is immortalised in true Olympus quality, while the high ISO settings help to prevent blur caused by camera shake.

Operation of the Olympus FE-280 is as simple as it gets: Designed according to the 'One-button, one-function' principle, this camera also includes a guide function, so additional support is always at your fingertips. 20 scene modes including Underwater Wide and Macro ensure the ability to quickly and seamlessly adjust to almost any shooting situation. Furthermore, happy faces in shots are assured with the FE-280. Utilising Face Detection Technology, the innovative Smile Shot scene mode tracks faces in a composition and recognises when the subject smiles, and at that moment automatically releases the shutter. Meanwhile, a menu with 25 languages means that the FE-280 speaks just about everyone's native tongue.

With internal memory plus an xD Picture Card slot, it's easy to expand storage space at any time - which can come in especially handy when capturing movies complete with sound up to memory capacity. The included Olympus Master software with Muvee Pack trial version lets you quickly and easily download, edit and share your media. An optional underwater case is additionally available for more fun up to 40m beneath the water's surface.
