Olympus Stylus 7000 Review |
Review
Date: May 4, 2009 |
The Stylus 7000 provides an Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode that automatically identifies the scene and adjusts settings to optimize results.
Advanced Face Detection tracks up to 16 faces and automatically focuses and optimizes exposures on the faces. Shadow Adjustment Technology retains detail when dark shadows are prevalent or when shooting in backlit situations. A Beauty Mode lets you smooth a person’s skin, removing unwanted wrinkles or blemishes. In-Camera Panorama captures 3 images and stitches them together to create one panoramic picture by simply pressing the shutter button and slowly panning across the scene. Smile Shot detects a smile on your subject’s face and automatically fires off 3 consecutive shots to capture that perfect smile. Easily upload your movies and images to YouTube™ using the OLYMPUS Master™ 2.0 Software.
