The New Olympus Stylus 1050 SW Can Be Controlled Just by Tapping It
Thanks to the new Tap Control technology
The new Olympus Stylus 1050 SW - front view Olympus
Compact digital cameras equipped with touchscreen displays are not exactly something very new, but what happens when the amateur photographer is trying to shoot something in very difficult conditions (as for example, in winter, while wearing gloves)? Generally, the results are less than satisfactory, but that will certainly not be the case with the new digital camera from Olympus, the Stylus 1050 SW, and that's because this particular model can be controlled by touching it just about anywhere on its body. This very special function, dubbed Tap Control, allows users to access various functions with just a tap on its top, back or sides. The function is made possible by the new camera's 3D accelerometer that detects the direction of the force on the camera's body. This could come in handy in those situations described above, especially since the camera itself is designed to work at temperatures of down to -10 degrees Celsius.As mentioned earlier, the new 10.1-megapixel Stylus 1050 SW is one rugged and tough device. For example, it incorporates shock-absorbing technology that minimizes the impact delivered to the lens and circuitry when the camera is dropped from heights of up to 5 feet. Moreover, it can be used underwater as well (down to a depth of around 3 meters), since the aluminum exterior is matched with interior rubber gaskets and O-rings to seal out the various liquids it's submerged in. However, the Stylus 1050 SW is a lot more than your average rugged camera. Thus, it incorporates the very popular Face Detection technology (with Face Detection AF and Face Detection AE), but also a smile detection function. Additionally, it features the Shadow Adjustment Technology, which compensates for extreme contrast where the shadow areas are underexposed and lack visible detail.Another important component that participates in the process of obtaining high-quality photos is the TruePic III Image Processor, capable, according to the manufacturer, of capturing sharp and clear images even at high ISO settings. Moreover, as any serious camera, this one also features Digital Image Stabilization (DIS), as well as an LED Illuminator installed on the front of the camera, which works like a mini-flashlight. The Stylus 1050 SW also offers users a few very interesting in-camera editing features (red-eye fix, shadow adjustment edit) as well as the possibility of previewing on the HyperCrystal II LCD the way in which a certain photo will look like after it has been edited by the device's software (Perfect Shot Preview). The Olympus Stylus 1050 SW will arrive in stores at some point in October (ready for the upcoming cold season) and will sell for a suggested retail price of 300 US dollars (chances are that you'll find it for a lot less within various stores, though). We are just a few, but there are many of you, Softpedia users, out there. That's why we thought it would be a good idea to create an email address for you to help us a little in finding gadgets we missed. Interesting links are bound to be posted with recognition going mainly to those who submit. The address is.

For more details of Olympus testing conditions, please refer to the Olympus website for your local area.
Using a microSD Attachment
Do not use the attachment with Olympus digital cameras that do not support this microSD Attachment, as well as with other brands of digital cameras, computers, printers, and other devices that support xD-Picture Card. Doing so not only may damage the pictures taken, but may also result in the malfunction of the device. If the microSD card cannot be removed, do not use force. Contact authorized distributors/service centers.
microSD card/microSDHC card
For a list of tested microSD cards, please visit our website (http://www.olympus.com/).

Sending images

You can send images to a computer or printer by using the USB cable provided with the camera. To send data to other devices, remove the attachment from the camera and use a commercially available microSD card adapter.

Handling precautions

Do not touch the contact area of the attachment or microSD card. Doing so may cause failure in reading the images. When ngerprints or stains are found on the contact area, wipe the area with a soft dry cloth.
book_oima_myu1050SW_en.indb 66

2008/07/10 11:50:23

Before Use:
Check the camera for foreign material including dirt, dust or sand. Be sure to close the battery/card compartment cover and connector cover rmly so that each lock makes clicking sound. Do not open the battery/card compartment cover and connector cover with wet hands, while under water, or in a damp or dusty environment (e.g. beach). Use the camera underwater with the lens barrier in the down position. To turn the camera on and off underwater, use the o button.
3 Rinse the front of the camera with running water while the lens barrier is open.

After Use:

Do not slide the lens barrier up until the camera has been rinsed with water. Be sure to wipe off any excess water or debris after using the camera under water. After the camera is used under seawater, immerse the camera in a bucket containing fresh water for about 10 minutes (with the battery/card compartment cover and connector cover rmly closed). After that, dry the camera in a shade with good ventilation. Water drops may be observed on the inner surface of the battery/card compartment cover or connector cover after you open each cover. If any water drops are found, be sure to wipe them off before using the camera.

Follow Steps 1 to 3, then check if the lens barrier moves smoothly. If the lens barrier does not move smoothly, rinse the lens barrier by placing it directly under fast running water.

Storage and Maintenance

Do not leave the camera in an environment at high temperature (40C (104F) or more) or at low temperature (-10C (14F) or less). Failure to do so may break down water resistance. Do not use chemicals for cleaning, rust prevention, anti-fogging, repairing, etc. Failure to do so may break down water resistance. Do not leave the camera in water for a long time. Failure to do so will cause damage to the cameras appearance and/or deteriorate water resistance. In order to preserve the water resistant feature, as with any underwater housing, it is recommended that the waterproof packing (and seals) are replaced annually. For the Olympus distributors or service stations where the waterproof packing can be replaced, visit Olympus website for your local area.

Notes after use

Foreign materials may be attached to the periphery of the lens barrier from using the camera in conditions with foreign materials such as dirt, dust or sand, or when the lens barrier is not moving smoothly. If you continue to use the camera in such conditions, the lens could become damaged or the lens barrier could stick causing additional damage to the camera. To avoid such damage, wash the camera using the following method. 1 Insert the battery and close the battery/ card compartment cover and connector cover rmly so that each lock makes the clicking sound. 2 Fill a bucket with fresh water, immerse the camera in the bucket with the lens surface downward and shake the camera thoroughly.

Handling the Camera
Do not use the camera near ammable or explosive gases. Do not use the ash and LED on people (infants, small children, etc.) at close range. You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your subjects. Firing the ash too close to the subjects eyes could cause a momentary loss of vision. Keep young children and infants away from the camera. Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children and infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which could cause serious injury: Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation. Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small parts. Accidentally ring the ash into their own eyes or those of another child. Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera. Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera. Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places. Do not cover the ash with a hand while ring. Do not insert anything into the microSD Attachment other than the microSD card. This attachment is exclusive for use of microSD cards only. Other types of cards cannot be installed. Do not insert anything other than an xD-Picture Card or the microSD Attachment into the camera If you insert a card by mistake, such as a microSD card, do not use force. Contact authorized distributors/service centers. Damages such as scratches on the attachment or card could result in the camera overheating and/or malfunctioning.

LCD Monitor

Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague, resulting in a playback mode failure or damage to the monitor. A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction. When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode. In places subject to low temperatures, the LCD monitor may take a long time to turn on or its color may change temporarily. When using the camera in extremely cold places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warm place. An LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures. The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light may appear constantly on the LCD monitor. Due to its characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing the monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and brightness. This is not a malfunction.
