FE-280

Easy Operation, Sophisticated Performance

Designed with the "friendly & easy" concept in mind, Olympus's new FE series digital cameras offer you the easier operation and simpler handling you need to focus on taking great pictures. Despite their slim, compact designs, these cameras are loaded with the latest in high-quality imaging technology such as our TruePic III Image Processor and Face Detection Technology. Inside and out, everything about these cameras is designed to make digital photography more convenient, more fun, and more natural.

8.0 Megapixels with 3X Optical Zoom

A high-precision 8.0-megapixel CCD captures the most exquisite details of life, while the 3X optical zoom lets you get up close to faraway subjects and can be combined with the 4X digital zoom*1 for telephoto shooting at up to 12X.

TruePic III

Advanced Face Detection*2 Technology

Now it's easy to take brilliant, beautiful portraits anywhere at any time. Sophisticated Face Detection Technology detects up to 3 faces at a time, and adjusts the focus, exposure and the light intensity of the built-in flash as necessary for optimum results.

Smile Shot*3 Mode for Natural Snapshot

Another convenient tool for portrait shooting is "Smile Shot", one of the Scene Programme modes. When Smile Shot is on, the camera automatically takes 3 sequential pictures as soon as the subject smiles, making sure you never miss a precious moment.
