  • World's Slimmest and Smallest Digital Compact Camera with 7x Optical Zoom

    A hallmark of Olympus design, the Mju 1020 continues the traditional combination of the smooth curvature of an arc with the functionally elegant form of a wedge. Available in enamel black, this stylish camera is a must-have for those who demand the ultimate in performance and style.

    A high-performance Dual Super Aspherical (DSA) lens element developed using proprietary Olympus technology enables the Mju 1020 to pack amazing zoom power into a body weighing only 135 grams and measuring only 25.2 mm thick. The Mju 1020 is world's slimmest and smallest compact camera with 7x optical zoom, allowing photographers to capitalise on powerful zoom while using a camera that's still slim enough to fit in a pocket.

    This technological breakthrough means the slimmer lens barrel continues to deliver uncompromised image quality. Offering sharp, high-contrast imaging right out to the periphery of the image field, the lens works together with the Mju 1020's CCD image sensor and exclusive Olympus TruePic III image processor to ensure high image quality and vibrant colour.

    7x optical zoom and a 10.1-megapixel CCD for big, clear close-ups of distant subjects

    Olympus' advanced lens technology has resulted in the development of new Dual Super Aspherical (DSA) lens elements which can each do the work of several conventional elements, and make it possible to create extremely compact yet powerful zoom lenses. Historically, DSA lens elements have been extremely thin in the centre making them difficult to manufacture. For the Mju 1020, proprietary Olympus technology has been used to develop a high-performance DSA lens element that enables the camera to offer 7x optical zoom power and outstanding image quality in an exceptionally slim, compact body.

    Dual Shakeproof Image Stabilisation: Sensor-Shift + Digital Image Stabilisation

    The Mju 1020's Dual Shakeproof Sensor-Shift Image Stabilisation system uses a dual-axis gyro sensor to accurately detect camera shake, and prevents blur by shifting the CCD sensor to compensate. In addition, high ISO sensitivity Digital Image Stabilisation enables 10 megapixel imaging at sensitivities up to ISO 1600 to help reduce blurring caused by camera shake or subject motion. As a result, users experience fewer missed shots when working in low light or with active subjects, and can obtain sharper, clearer images even at high telephoto settings.
