The Olympus FE-250 features a 8.0-megapixel
image sensor, a 3x optical zoom, super-high sensitivity
(ISO 3200), and fast shutter speeds in a slim
two centimetre body.
Like the other new FE-series digital cameras,
the FE-250 features an enhanced Help Guide and
a tutorial “shooting guide” that also
sets the camera with the touch of a button, making
the transition from learning to taking great pictures
instantaneous.
“One Touch” design means individual
buttons for shooting, reviewing and deleting images.
Buttons are conveniently located on the top of
the cameras with icons for easy access to frequently
used functions –- shooting, playback, zoom
and delete options right at your fingertips. Macro
mode, flash mode and a self-timer are located
on an arrow pad for quick use for composing images.
Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) freezes the
action with high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter
speeds that prevent blurry images often caused
by a moving subject. The FE-250 features a super-high
ISO sensitivity (up to 3200), which extends the
flash working range, enabling users to capture
clear and bright subjects and backgrounds in low-light
situations. Sharp images of fast moving subjects
can also be captured in low-light settings.
The FE-250 includes Bright Capture Technology,
enabling users to preview and shoot images and
movies in low-light environments using specific
scene modes.
The large 2.5-inch LCD screens make it easier
to see clear images when composing shots as well
as when gathering friends and family around to
view the results.
Pre-Set Shooting Modes, accessed via a rotating
dial, and menu button on the back of the cameras,
make it easy to capture great images in a variety
of lighting situations, such as Sports, Fireworks,
and Night Scene with Portrait. Each of the FE
cameras also feature an AVI Movie Mode, which
enables users to record television quality movies,
limited only by the size of the xD-Picture Card™.
The Olympus FE-250 offers 16 different
shooting modes and should appeal to entry-level
users desiring an easy-to-use point-and-shoot
compact digital camera.
