Built to withstand some of the harshest environments on earth, when the Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 arrives at the windy mountain peak or dives into choppy waves, it stays steady and ready to capture blur-free images in virtually any condition. Olympus Stylus Tough cameras already are world-renowned for being shockproof, waterproof, crushproof and freezeproof powerhouses. Now, the images it captures are virtually "delete-proof" because the Stylus Tough 8010 delivers amazing images thanks to new technologies, including 14 megapixels, High-Definition (HD) video and a powerful 5x wide-angle optical zoom lens. This camera not only endures more than any other cameras, it also capture images as vivid as the adventures you live.

The Stylus Tough 8010 -- the flagship of the Stylus Tough line -- boasts a 5x Wide-Angle Zoom Lens (28-140mm equivalent in 35mm photography) and a 2.7-inch HyperCrystal™ III LCD. Great for shooting landscapes, underwater scenery, group portraits and amazing panoramic pictures, the lens' wider field of view ensures you'll never miss anyone or anything in your shot. With improved contrast and color reproduction, the HyperCrystal III LCD offers a more accurate and precise image display, as well as an extra-wide viewing angle and increased visibility in direct sunlight. The Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 can survive a 6.6-foot drop, venture 33 feet underwater, withstand 220 pounds of crushing pressure, and laugh at freezing temperatures. Stylus Tough series cameras feature Tap Control to make it easy for skiers, divers and snowmen makers to control key settings without removing their gloves.

PT-048 Underwater Housing

Waterproof to 33 Feet

The Stylus Tough 8010 performs as well underwater as it does on land because its lightweight, stainless steel and aluminum exterior is matched with interior rubber gaskets and O-rings to seal out the elements. It can be fully submerged to capture beautiful images down to 33 feet (10 meters) underwater, making it ideal for more serious underwater adventurers. The Tough 8010 can also capture HD movies with audio even under water -- perfect for schools of fish or kids jumping into the water. The camera features a water-repellent lens coating to prevent water droplets from forming on the lens, enabling you to get crystal-clear shots no matter how wet the shooting environment.

The inclusion of four preset underwater scene modes makes the Stylus Tough 8010 perfect for taking photos while scuba diving, snorkeling or simply having worry-free fun in the pool. For those who want to explore greater depths, the PT-048 underwater housing, designed specifically for the Stylus Tough 8010 and Stylus Tough 6020, enables the camera to venture approximately 130 feet (40 meters) beneath the surface.

Shock Proof from 6.6 Feet, Crushproof to 220 Pounds-Force

Accidents happen -- but don't worry. The Stylus Tough 8010 is designed to withstand a 6.6-foot drop, bump or other mishap. Built with durable materials and shock-absorption technology that minimizes the impact delivered to the lens and circuitry when dropped, the Stylus Tough 8010 offers superior durability in a point-and-shoot digital camera. In addition, the Stylus Tough 8010 features a crushproof body that can withstand up to 220 pounds of crushing pressure.

Freezeproof to 14 Degrees Fahrenheit

Harsh winter weather doesn't stop outdoor enthusiasts, athletes and sports fans. Don't let it stop you from capturing memorable moments. Perfect for skiing, snowboarding, sledding and other winter fun, the Stylus Tough 8010 is winterized to perform at temperatures even below freezing (14°F / -10°C).

Tap Control

Stylus Tough series cameras can be controlled with a simple tap on their top, back or sides, which is made possible thanks to their internal 3D accelerometer that detects the direction of the force on the camera's body. To turn on the flash or Shadow Adjustment Technology, all that is required is a couple of taps on the camera's sides and top. In adverse climates Tap Control ensures fast adjustment of settings even if you are fighting frostbite wearing large gloves that make pressing traditional buttons nearly impossible.

Designed-to-be-Digital Optics - 5x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom, 25x Total Seamless Zoom

Olympus photos are known worldwide for sharp, vibrant image quality. This is achieved through a number of key technologies, such as Olympus' high-refractive-index aspherical lens elements, designed specifically for digital cameras. The Stylus Tough 8010 features a 5x wide optical zoom (28-140mm equivalent in 35mm photography, f3.5-5.1) so that even more of the subject makes it into each shot -- perfect for underwater photography. The lens does not protrude from its body so it is further protected from harsh conditions. The 5x optical zoom combines with 5x digital zoom to deliver 25x total seamless zoom power.

One-Touch 720p HD Movie and HDMI Control

The Stylus Tough 8010 shoots gorgeous 720p HD videos, so you'll never miss the chance to capture the scene. Activating HD recording is incredibly easy with a dedicated one-touch button, and playback is also a breeze. Now, you'll be the hit of the party or any family function when you proudly display your brilliant images and videos on high-definition televisions. Simply connect the camera to an HDTV with an HDMI™ cable, which can be purchased separately at any consumer electronics store. With HDMI Control, you can use your HDTV's remote to control playback functions and navigate the camera's menus from the comfort of your favorite couch. With One-Touch HD Movie you can record widescreen, crystal clear HD movies (720p) right from your camera.

14 Megapixel CCD (Effective)

The 14-megapixel CCD image sensor inside the Stylus Tough 8010 delivers high-quality images that are consistently sharp and vivid even in large-format prints -- up to poster sizes as large as 16 x 20 inches.

Dual Image Stabilization

In the cold climates where the Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 thrives, you may shiver, but the camera performs sure and steady even in shaking hands. Dual Image Stabilization is an advanced combination of mechanical CCD-shift Image Stabilization and Digital Image Stabilization. CCD-shift Image Stabilization uses built-in electro-gyro sensors to record camera movement and adjust the CCD image sensor. This ensures that light remains centered on the image sensor to maintain image clarity despite a slight movement on the part of the photographer. Digital Image Stabilization Mode boosts ISO sensitivity and shutter speed so that images remain crisp and clear -- free from the blur caused by moving subjects. The combination of the two Image Stabilization Technologies ensures the best image clarity in virtually any shooting environment.

2.7" HyperCrystal™ III LCD

The Stylus Tough 8010, the flagship of the Tough line, boasts a large, high-resolution HyperCrystal™ III LCD, which enables clear, high-contrast images. It increases the brightness of the LCD for better visibility in low-light and bright-light situations -- perfect for composing subjects underwater or in direct sunlight.

AF Tracking

AF Tracking technology locks your subject in focus, and continuously adjusts focus and brightness whether you or your subject are moving. This mode can remember the subject if it moves out of the frame. This enables you to keep fast-moving and unpredictable subjects like small children in focus for the perfect shot. There's even a specially designed AF Tracking Pet Mode for animal lovers.

Face Detection Auto Focus and Auto Exposure

Face Detection Technology tracks faces within the frame and automatically focuses (Face Detection AF) and optimizes exposure (Face Detection AE) for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures. Even if your subjects are moving, the camera continuously tracks your subjects' faces without having to press the shutter button. The Stylus Tough 8010 can detect up to 12 faces within the frame and automatically focus and optimize exposure.

2 GB Available Built-in Internal Memory

You can capture images even when no media card is in the camera. The Stylus Tough 8010 comes with 2 GB of internal memory, 1.6 GB of which is available for image storage.

SD / SDHC Memory Card Compatible

The Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 digital compact camera offers SD / SDHC Memory Card capability for up to 32 gigabytes of capacity.

OLYMPUS [ib] Software and In-Camera Manual

The Stylus Tough 8010 comes with OLYMPUS [ib] software. The software includes photography workflow, browsing, editing and unique photo organizing functions. You can organize your photos by person with automatic face recognition technology, by location with a Geotagging function or by event. You can easily view photos on an HDTV or on the camera's LCD with the Photo Surfing or Slideshow functions. The name [ib] stands for image bridging, image browsing and image brightening. The software is available for Windows operating systems only.

The 2010 Stylus Tough cameras come equipped with the instruction manual saved on the cameras' new internal memory. This translates into easily referencing instructions while shooting on the go. The internal memory also enables in-camera image playback in an organized fashion. Eliminating a paper or CD-Rom instruction manual is part of Olympus' ongoing environmental commitment to conserve natural resources and reduce its carbon footprint.

LED Illuminator

An LED Illuminator works like a mini-flashlight on the front of the camera to enhance focus and exposure for macro shooting -- great for underwater close-ups where light is scarce.

29 Selectable Shooting Modes Including Scene Preset Modes

With 29 pre-programmed scene modes, such as Beach & Snow, Available Light Portrait, Sunset, and Under Water Snapshot, the Stylus Tough 8010 makes it easy to capture beautiful images in a variety of lighting and shooting situations. Get the best result in any situation with advanced options -- landscape, portrait, indoor, sunset and more, including four underwater settings.

Intelligent Auto Mode

Tired of changing the settings on your camera every time you're shooting something different? The Stylus Tough 8010's Intelligent Auto Mode automatically indentifies what you are shooting (Portrait, Landscape, Night + Portrait, Macro, Sports) and adjusts settings to capture the best quality results depending on the situation. First-time users will enjoy this quick and hassle-free feature, which does the thinking for them and produces incredible images like a pro.

Beauty Mode

Beauty mode touches up the appearance of subjects even while the shot is being taken. This feature recognises faces and automatically makes skin on the face and adjacent areas appear smoother, brighter and more youthful. It enables you to soften shadows and smooth wrinkles or blemishes on your subject's face -- all in the camera and as you capture the image. Additionally, subtle edits can be made post-capture using the Beauty Fix mode. Choose Clear Skin to smooth a person's complexion, Dramatic Eye to slightly emphasize the eyes, and Sparkle Eye to brighten and enhance the contrast of the iris and pupils. You can also apply all three edits at once.

Shadow Adjustment Technology

Shooting outdoors in bright daylight can be tricky because of the extreme contrast between dark shadowed areas and bright sunlight areas -- while the human eye is capable of detecting the nuances between dark and light and all the details in between, image sensors traditionally have not been quite as sensitive. The Stylus Tough 8010 addresses this challenge head-on with Shadow Adjustment Technology, which compensates for extreme contrast where the shadow areas are underexposed and lack visible detail. With this technology, users can preview and capture images that have the same contrast as seen with the naked eye. Combined with Face Detection Auto Focus and Auto Exposure, the Stylus Tough 8010 captures smiles in shadows without getting a dark image in difficult lighting such as in backlight situations. The technology can also be turned off for any shooting situation where shadows are a key element of a photograph's drama.

Perfect Shot Preview

The Stylus Tough 8010 features a Perfect Shot Preview mode that enables users to view and select various photography effects on the multi-view screen before even snapping the shot. Perfect Shot Preview enables users to see precisely what the image will look like when adjustments are made, ensuring users are capturing the exact image they want. It's an ideal way for novice users to learn about the effects of different photography techniques, such as zoom, exposure compensation, white balance and metering.

Perfect Fix In-Camera Editing

The Stylus Tough 8010 offers Red-Eye Fix and Shadow Adjustment Edit, in-camera editing features such as resizing, frames, text options, and saturation adjustments, enabling users to edit photos right in the camera. With the Perfect Fix function, multiple editing features can be applied at once.

TruePic™ III Image Processor

Olympus' enhanced TruePic III Image Processor produces crystal-clear photos using all the pixel information for each image to deliver superior picture quality with more accurate colors, true-to-life flesh tones and faster processing speeds. TruePic III also captures sharp images at high ISO settings, which are traditionally associated with increasing image noise or producing grainy photos.

In-Camera Creative Art Filters

In-camera Creative Features recently debuted on Olympus E-System DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras. Similar in-camera Creative Art Filters have been developed for the Stylus Tough 8010. Creative Art Filters enable the user to enhance and customize images as they're being captured. This translates into more fun and flexibility as customization is no longer limited to using expensive and time-consuming computer software. The Creative Art Filters include:

• Pop Art: Enhance and saturate colors to create vivid, high-impact pictures that express the joyful, lighthearted feeling of the Pop Art style of the 1960s
• Pin Hole: Reduce the peripheral brightness of an image as though it were shot through a pin hole, connecting the viewer intimately with the subject at the center
• Fish-Eye: Emulate the wide-angle of a fish-eye lens by taking extremely wide, hemispherical images and magnifying the center of the frame.
• Drawing: Turn your image into a sketch outline for children to color.

Lithium-Ion Battery Power

The Stylus Tough 8010 includes the LI-50B Li-Ion battery, which charges 2.5 times faster (two hours instead of five) than its predecessor. The 925-mAh battery boasts a 25 percent increase in power over previous models.

PictBridge Enabled

The power of PictBridge™ technology enables your photos to be printed directly from the Stylus Tough 8010 to any PictBridge-enabled printer without using a computer. And the one-touch 'Print' button makes printing a single-step process. Printing and sharing images has never been easier.

Built-in Multi-Mode Flash

The Stylus Tough 8010 camera has a built-in flash that offers settings to provide a wide range of options.

• Auto Flash fires automatically in low light or back-light, to help ensure the illumination is appropriate.
• Red-Eye Reduction Flash Mode emits a series of pre-flashes right before the shutter snaps, allowing the subject's eyes to adjust to the light level of the flash -- reducing the red-eye effect.
• Fill-In Flash Mode (forced on) adds light to eliminate shadows, for a more natural look in photos when your subject is in both bright light and dark shadow.
• Flash Off Mode is available when flash photography is not permitted or to allow for long exposures for shots like sunsets and night scenes.

Auto-Connect USB 2.0 High Speed

Transferring images to the computer has never been easier with the Auto-Connect USB 2.0 that does not require software drivers (for most computers/operating systems) for hassle-free and high-speed image downloads.

Digital ESP Multi-Pattern and Spot Metering

Multi-Point Metering enables up to 8 separate points in the image area to be averaged for proper exposures in the most difficult lighting conditions.
