SP-565 Ultra Zoom

Digital compact camera with world's biggest zoom: 20x optical zoom

If you want to get close, without getting closer then the SP-565UZ is the camera for you.  The SP-565UZ's powerful 26mm wide angle to 520mm super telephoto zoom range (35mm equivalent) represents a culmination of Olympus lens-making expertise. Thanks to its super telephoto power, you can capture the look of concentration on a football player's face as he prepares for a penalty kick, or the smiles of children waiting for the start of a school athletic event.

Offering 26mm wide angle capability, the SP-565UZ lets you take even more dramatic landscapes, group photos, and interiors, and its 1cm close-up shooting capability lets you explore the world of macro shooting. With its wide zoom range, the SP-565UZ packs all this performance into a single camera.

In addition, it offers a 10-megapixel CCD, proprietary Olympus Face Detect & Shadow Adjust Technology, 13.5 frame-per-second high-speed continuous shooting, as well as other features for easy, high-quality imaging. With its advanced shooting capabilities, the SP-565UZ is an ideal all-round camera.

Dual Shakeproof CCD-shift and high ISO (up to ISO 6400) stabilisation

To reduce blurring that can arise due to camera shake and subject motion which tend to be a problem at high telephoto settings, the SP-565UZ is equipped with a Dual Shakeproof CCD-shift and high ISO stabilisation systems. The high ISO stabilisation can utilise settings as high as ISO 6400, capturing images equivalent to five megapixels and ensuring high image quality even during high ISO shooting.

Face Detect & Shadow Adjust, TruePic III image processor & the new bird shooting mode 

The SP-565UZ features a new face detection technology enabling up to 16 faces to be detected, while featuring proprietary Olympus Face Detect & Shadow Adjust technologies. Unlike face-detection systems that set focus and exposure only for the face, Olympus Face Detect & Shadow Adjust technologies balance the exposure for both faces and backgrounds. In backlit situations where your subject's face tends to be underexposed, conventional face-detection systems often overcompensate, causing the background to be overexposed. But with Olympus Face Detect & Shadow Adjust, exposure is adjusted to ensure that both people in the foreground and elements in the background are properly exposed.

The SP-565UZ's advanced TruePic III image processor suppresses noise, ensures smooth edge reproduction, and faithfully reproduces even the palest colours, working in tandem with the camera's 10 megapixel high quality image sensor, and high resolution lens, to achieve truly outstanding image quality.

Have you ever tried to capture birds and found you have not be able to zoom in close enough to get the detail required? With the new Bird Shooting mode of the SP-565UZ and optional teleconverter TCON-17, you can achieve a 1200mm focal length (47x zoom) enabling super telephoto shooting. The SP-565UZ will also adapt to offer the best auto focus movement to focus birds easily and fast shutter speed to decrease blur during the telephoto shooting.
