The new slim-line SH-25MR sports a high-performance 24-300mm super-zoom lens that utilises professional-grade ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) and Olympus proprietary Dual-Sided Aspherical lens elements to achieve the two goals of class-leading compactness and high imaging performance.
A newly developed iHS** image quality and speed enhancing technology ensures that superb picture quality is achieved even at high ISO settings in low-light conditions with extremely fast autofocus, start-up, response, and sequential shooting speeds. Image quality improvements are especially noticeable at high ISO settings with superb colour gradation and low picture noise, providing enhanced picture clarity.
Dual TruePic V image processors working in tandem enables the SH-25MR to capture two image data streams simultaneously from the 16 megapixel BSI-CMOS sensor. You can, for instance, simultaneously capture a Full HD video and take full-resolution photos, or two videos simultaneously (e.g., capture wide and close-up views of the same scene), or two still images with different framing, resolutions or properties at the same time. This unique capability enables imaging possibilities not possible in conventional single-processor digital cameras.
The latest fast-response GPS technology enables satellite location in as quickly as 10 seconds. The camera user simply pre-loads GPS satellite coordinate information taken from the internet into the camera via a computer to utilise this new feature. The names of 700,000 landmarks in 180 countries around the world are pre-programmed into the camera and are automatically displayed onscreen as you frame your shot. The built-in Electronic Compass makes geo-located photography even more precise.
For sharp and clear pictures whether shooting in low-light situations or at maximum zoom range, the SH-25MR uses a Dual Image Stabilisation (IS) technology (digital stabilisation and ISO enhancement) in still-shooting to effectively reduce camera-shake. Multi-motion digital IS, enabled in video recording, provides powerful stabilisation that makes stable, handheld movie-capture whilst walking possible.
The new SH-25MR brings touch-screen convenience for enhanced ease of use. A simple tap of the high-resolution LCD screen focuses the lens at the chosen point in the scene and takes the shot almost immediately. Other applications include LiveGuide touch control and touch-enabled picture playback.

The new Olympus Tough TG-820 sports a new design shape from last season’s TG-810 model and introduces an outstanding new level of image quality and high speed performance to the acclaimed Olympus Tough series of ruggedised compact cameras.
This new Tough model uses new generation TruePic VI image processor similar to that used in the high-performance PEN camera range. Together with the new iHS** image quality and speed enhancing technology, superb picture quality is achieved even at high ISO settings in low-light conditions with extremely fast autofocus, start-up, response, and sequential shooting speeds. Image quality improvements are especially noticeable at high ISO settings with superb colour gradation and low picture noise, providing enhanced picture clarity. Up to 60 fps**** still shooting and 240 fps**** video recording are possible, for high-frame rate burst shooting in action sport photography, or super-slow motion video recording. ISO range is from 100 to 6400.The TG-820 uses Dual Image Stabilisation (IS) technology (sensor-shift and ISO enhancement) in still-shooting to effectively reduce camera-shake in all lighting conditions. Multi-motion digital IS, enabled in video recording, provides for powerful stabilisation that makes stable, handheld movie-capture whilst walking and in challenging outdoor situations possible.
For underwater photography, the new intelligent automatic mode automatically senses underwater usage and adjusts camera settings to produce superb underwater shots without fuss.
As the leader in tough camera technology, Olympus uses a proprietary double-seal chassis design for optimum waterproofing. A Double-lock door mechanism is used to provide maximum protection of vulnerable communication ports, memory card slot and the battery compartment.
