    Slim, stylish design packed with powerful performance 

    Are you looking for the very best? Then the Mju 1060 is the camera for you. With state-of-the-art Olympus optics technologies, the Mju 1060's advanced lens optics captures the finest detail, with a powerful 7x optical zoom packed into a slim & stylish 25mm thick camera body. Available in classic Piano enamel finish, the Mju 1060 combines the ultimate in timeless styling, with a huge 3" HyperCrystal LCD screen and easy to use Intelligent Auto that delivers superb images at the touch of a button.

    Slim body with 7x Optical Zoom, 10.1 megapixel CCD and Dual Shakeproof Stabilisation.

    Mju 1060 packs a high performance 7x optical zoom lens unit and 3 inch HyperCrystal LCD display into an extremely slim body. However, you can rest assured there is no compromise in image quality with breakthrough technology developed by Olympus in manufacturing the Dual Super Aspherical (DSA) lens element. DSA lens elements are extremely thin in the centre, traditionally making them difficult to manufacture.  But they can do the work of several conventional elements, making it possible to create extremely compact yet powerful zoom lenses. Also, with less lens elements, you can be assured of fantastic picture quality with noticeably superior contrast and sharpness.  Manufactured with DSA lens elements, the Mju 1060 is so convenient to carry, yet captures impressive high-impact images wherever you go.

    The pink DSA element gives the Mju 1060 powerful optics in a small, slim casing. 

    The Mju 1060 also features the Olympus Dual Shakeproof CCD-shift image stabilisation system and high-ISO sensitivity to compensate for camera shake and subject motion that can cause blurring, particularly on high-power telephoto shots. With this dual protection, you can eliminate blurry shots even when shooting in low light or when photographing active subjects such as children and pets. 

    Intelligent Auto Function (iAuto)

    Take advantage of the Mju 1060's Intelligent Auto mode, simply by setting the Mju 1060's mode dial to "iAuto".  Intelligent Auto analyses each scene, and then applies the optimum settings to assure beautiful results. With iAuto, the camera will automatically apply one of the five most commonly used scene modes - Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, Macro & Sports mode.  Enjoy worry-free shooting in virtually any situation, with no need to switch to a special mode for macro photos, night-scene portraits, or backlit situations, as is usually necessary with conventional Auto modes.

    In addition, the Mju 1060 features Olympus' renowned Face Detect & Shadow Adjust technologies that recognise up tp 16 individual faces. In addition to ensuring that human subjects are in focus, Face Detect & Shadow Adjust also balances exposure values to ensure that both the foreground and background elements are properly exposed.
