Typically water and photography are a bad combination, limiting your outdoor photography options when rain, snow or sea is involved. But the compact, all - weather Stylus 710 can go virtually anywhere you can. The body construction is durable and lightweight with rubber gaskets throughout the interior to ensure that rain, sleet, or snow won't get in the way of great photos .

Bright Capture Technology for Low-Light Photography : There are times when you want to photograph subjects in low light without having to use a flash such as when trying to capture the softness and warmth of a candlelit dinner, or natural skin tones in subdued lighting. Olympus' revolutionary Bright Capture Technology makes it possible to clearly compose subjects on the LCD. With rapid auto-focus and specific scene modes with high sensitivity (up to ISO 2500) , you can capture bright images even in ambient light.

Olympus photos are known worldwide for sharp, vibrant image quality. This is achieved through a number of key technologies, such as Olympus' super high-refractive-index lens elements, designed specifically for digital cameras. The lens provides the equivalent of 37 to 111 mm focal length in 35mm photography, with 15x combined total zoom (3x optical and 5x digital) to bring the action closer, and a Super Macro Mode that captures details from as close as 3.2 inches.

Olympus' exclusive TruePic TURBO Image Processor enhances image quality and delivers faster overall processing speeds for rapid startup, shutter release and playback. TruePic TURBO enables the Stylus 710 to capture information from all 7.1 million pixels with pixel 'micro-smoothing" that delivers clearer and more color-accurate photos, even at lower resolutions. The fast startup of less than one second and nearly instant shutter release time ensures a high-speed response so you are always ready to take great pictures.

An improved auto-set Shooting Guide provides users with an explanation of which features to use in a given situation, and then sets the camera automatically for the selected feature on the Guide.
