FIRST-TIME USERS DO MORE WITH OLYMPUS D-395 COMPACT DIGITAL CAMERA
3.2 Million Pixels Deliver Photo-Quality Prints Up to 8 x 10 Inches and Larger, Easy Operation and Computer-Free Printing Simplify Photography
Melville, New York, March 18, 2004 - The new 3.2-megapixel Olympus D-395 point-and-shoot digital camera is designed for first-time users who want an entry-level model that exceeds their expectations, and at the low estimated street price of $149. Combining world-class optics, greater megapixel resolution than its predecessor, and PictBridge(tm) technology for outputting prints without connecting the camera to a personal computer, the D-395 delivers a fast, easy and affordable way for beginners to print vibrant, photo-realistic images up to 8" x 10" and larger and start enjoying the digital experience today.
Designed to Do More
The D-395 has an f2.8, 33mm (in 35mm equivalent) auto focus Olympus all-glass lens with 2.5x digital zoom to capture amazingly sharp details and vibrant colors. Viewing settings and composing or reviewing shots is trouble-free, as the camera's low-reflective and bright LCD is an easy-to-read 1.5-inches delivering 120,000 pixels of image clarity. The optical real-image viewfinder is an alternative to using the LCD to compose shots.
Designed for Excitement
When it's time to produce prints, the power of PictBridge technology enables the D-395 to create a photo lab quality print at home or in the office. Users can print directly via USB cable connection from the camera to any PictBridge-enabled printer, like the dye-sublimation Olympus P-10 Digital Photo Printer. The D-395 has an interface for selecting the best photos for printing, so it takes just a few simple clicks to get great prints.
Delivering Style
The D-395's compact size makes it ideal for carrying around in a pocket or bag, and its protective clamshell barrier and durable polycarbonate body keep it safe along the journey.
Intelligent Design
The D-395 offers point-and-shoot simplicity for flawless picture taking. For photographers who want optimum results in a wide variety of settings, 6 easy to use shooting modes are accessible through the menu system to provide fully automatic exposure adjustments for Program Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Self Portrait, Night Scene and Movie.
The camera can shoot special 2-in-1 pictures with a split-screen view that captures different scenes together on the right and left side of the image, and takes up less memory on the card than two separate images. It also has settings for image editing in black and white and sepia, and with the D-395's QuickTime® Movie Mode, users can create short movies that can be sent over the Internet to friends, family and coworkers.
Designed for You
Navigating the menu options of the D-395 is as easy as pushing arrow buttons on the back of the camera. These buttons lead to a menu structure that is intuitive to use and takes little time to memorize. The camera's Quick View button provides single click image review.
Transferring images from the camera to a PC or Mac is a quick and hassle-free experience with the USB Auto-Connect that does not require software drivers with most operating systems. Simply plug the USB cable into the camera and the computer, and start downloading images off the camera as though it were an external hard drive.
Availability
The D-395 Digital will be available in April 2004. It includes a 16MB xD-Picture Card(tm), Auto-Connect USB cable, 2 AA batteries, wrist strap, Olympus CAMEDIA Master Software, user manual and Quick Start guide.
