F1.8 Super Bright Zoom Lens

Optical technology from Olympus’ high-grade professional SLR lenses equips this high-performance lens with high sharpness and clarity. Its large lens aperture gives you the ability to sharply focus on the subject whilst keeping distracting or un-complementary backgrounds beautifully blurred.
 
   

iHS technology inside

Intelligent High-Speed and High-Sensitivity technology equips the XZ-10 to be a very responsive camera with a very quick startup speed, and fast shutter button reaction for rapid and accurately focused snapshots. Burst shooting captures full resolution shots at 5 frames per second (12MP resolution) to 60 frames per second (3MP).
 
   

Photo Story in-camera montaging

Photo Story shooting mode displays montage templates on the LCD screen with picture ‘frames’ that you shoot directly into. With a chosen montage template displayed, a simple tap of the touch-sensitive screen takes the shot and places it right into the selected frame, letting you create a unique ‘photo story’ on the LCD with each successive shot.
 
   

High Speed Video recording

Enables super-slow motion film clips to be recorded in superb HD quality. Uniquely film the everyday world, a momentous sporting moment, or a child’s joyful ride on the garden swing at 120 frames per second (4 times faster than the normal video frame rate) for dramatic slow-motion playback on the big screen. Normal movie footages are recorded in Full HD 1080p quality with crystal clear stereo sound. Effective Multi-Motion Stabilisation assures that camera shake is fully reduced for smooth and stable video recording.
 
   

TruePic VI image processor for outstanding picture quality

With Olympus’ OM-D class TruePic VI image processor onboard, photos and videos are captured with brilliant clarity, low-noise and true to life colours
 
   

Touch Screen LCD with 920k dots

Touch-screen shooting enables easy photography with just a tap of the LCD screen. Focus precisely by just touching the part in the picture you want the camera to focus on. In playback, touch functionality simplifies picture viewing with touch-and-glide for navigation.

Image degradation is minimal using Super Resolution Zoom to enable the near-microscopic world to be captured in high quality.

XZ-10 Lens System

(Left) A large aperture at full zoom creates smooth background blur that isolates portrait subjects against a busy background; (Right) Superb 30cm minimum focus at the 5x telephoto zoom setting captures pin-sharp macro subjects with outstanding background blur
The high-speed performance of Olympus’ iHS technology enables movie recording at very high speed. Slow-motion playback allows you to see movements too quick for the human eye. 720p resolution setting (120fps) plays back at 4× slow-motion/HVGA resolution setting (240fps) plays back at 8× slow-motion.
