With their high-definition shooting capabilities, the 4.0 million pixel Olympus FE-100 ensures that every detail is faithfully captured and reproduced, even on large-format print-outs. A 2.8x zoom lens provides flexibility to bring far away subjects closer. Together with the 4x digital zoom, total magnification is even extended to more than 11x. Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, the Olympus FE-100 can capture objects extremely close up, the Super Macro mode allows photography from merely 2cm.

Camera control with the FE100 is straightforward and fun. Utilising a “one button, one function” design principle, shooting, playback and erase functions are at the touch of a single button. Moreover, the help function in the menu even describes each of the four scene modes, including Portrait and Night Scene, directly on the LCD.
