Waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof in the stylish design

The µ TOUGH-8010 feature a waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof design that assures reliable, high-quality shooting under conditions that ordinary cameras would be unable to endure, such as underwater or in cold winter conditions. From the tranquil to the turbulent, whatever the conditions, whatever the situation, this camera assures great results, giving users the opportunity to expand their enjoyment of photography.

Double waterproofing construction

Double-lock mechanism to prevent the battery cover from opening accidentally coupled with the use of double-sealing to further improve waterproofing provides even greater reliability and trustworthiness.

10-metre waterproof*1, 2-metre shockproof*2 and -10°C freezeproof*3

The µ TOUGH-8010 inherits the proven super-tough structure of its predecessor - it's waterproof*1 to a depth of 10 metres, dustproof*4 to keep out sand and dirt, shockproof*2 against drop impacts from as high as 2 metres, and freezeproof*3 at temperatures as low as -10°C. But behind its tough exterior, this new digital camera is surprisingly sophisticated, now offering the outstanding imaging power of a 14-megapixel CCD as well as four Magic Filter effects.

Photo-surfing

Made possible by the incorporation of a 2 GB memory *6, photo-surfing allows you to download favorite pictures from your PC back to your camera, search desired pictures according to recording information such as "date" , "i-AUTO" and "scene mode", and view them on the camera. It's just like the camera version of netsurfing. With the provided [ib] software, users can create image collections based on various criteria such as who is in the picture or where it was shot *7.

Image browsing and organization software [ib]

Image browsing and organization software [ib] allows you to organize old pictures, as well as newly recorded pictures. When the camera is connected to a PC for charging the battery, newly recorded pictures are automatically transferred to the PC so you never forget to back up your precious pictures. The software automatically classifies the pictures according to their recording date when uploading to the PC. It is also capable of recognizing the persons shot as subjects and classify the pictures accordingly. In addition, it can assign recording location information for each classified event or each picture. By making classification and organization of multiple pictures simple and easy, [ib] enables you to easily find the pictures you're looking for.

* [ib]: The software was named after phrases such as "Image Bridging", "Image Browsing" and "Image Brightening".
