Olympus XZ-1 - Manual (Page 2)

Brave the darkness.
Combining three state-of-the-art features – the bright,
large-aperture iZuiko lens, a high-sensitivity CCD
sensor, and Dual Image Stabilization – this camera
lets you capture clear, sharp images every time. Shoot
dim interiors or outdoors at night, even handheld
shots without using the flash. The ISO sensitivity
adjusts up to ISO 6400 to take sharp, full-resolution
photos in dark places.
A sensitive side.
Compared to existing 1/2.33-inch, 14-megapixel CCDs,
the light-reception area of each pixel of the XZ-1’s
1/1.63-inch, 10-megapixel CCD has been doubled.
This sophisticated sensor is paired with the TruePicV
Image Processor, which applies highly accurate
noise control to ensure the clearest, highest quality
images possible.
Smooth operator.
The XZ-1 control rings let you manually adjust the
ISO sensitivity, f-number or shutter speed*, giving
you unprecedented control over your images. The
ergonomic design of the control rings, together with
the user-friendly layout of dials and buttons, serve
to make camera operations easy, comfortable and
reliable.
*The adjustable function varies depending on the shooting mode.
Visibly brighter.
The XZ-1’s large 3” 610,000 dot OLED LCD produces
rich, deep colors, while its wide field of view makes it
easy to shoot from difficult angles.
Inner artist.
The XZ-1 boasts six in-camera Art Filters. Add creative
flair to both stills and movies instantly, and see it live on
the LCD monitor. Even select the picture aspect ratio –
4:3, 16:9, 6:6 or 3:2 – to fit the composition or application
needs of your shots.

Raw genius.
In addition to the standard JPEG format, you can also use
the RAW data format for more convenient picture
retouching after shooting. The RAW data can be
developed on a PC, by running the provided “OLYMPUS
Viewer 2” software, or on the camera itself.
More precise.
A built-in Neutral Density (ND) Filter gives you more
control of light exposure. Simply select ND Filter from the
XZ-1’s menu and express your shot your way.
