Olympus IS-300*

Description

The Olympus IS-300 features autofocus and an Intelligent Variable-Power Flash System with GN25 power. It also has a built-in 28-110 mm 4x zoom lens with the precision of a large-diameter aspherical glass lens. For added convenience, the integrated lens cap opens automatically when the power is turned on.

The design of the IS Series reflects a relentless pursuit of optimal handling and holding balance. The concept led to an L-shape with a built-in zoom lens combining superior resolution with high magnification. Covering every point from wide-angle to telephoto settings, the innovative SLRs are designed to help photographers capture the image in the mind’s eye and achieve professional-looking results. One model after another has filled out the IS line-up since its launch in 1990.
The IS-300 is the latest addition to the series. Even though it has a versatile 28-110 mm 4x zoom lens, it is compact and very lightweight at 650 g. With its large-diameter aspherical glass lens, it also offers the quality of high-resolution images. The wide-angle 28 mm setting is ideal for indoor shots and expansive landscapes, while telephoto settings up to 110 mm make it easy to take natural-looking snapshots and striking portraits.
The Intelligent Variable-Power Flash expands the shooting range with GN25 power. Flash photography is also enhanced by such features as Super FP Flash in the Portrait Mode for synchronizing with shutter speeds up to 1/2000 sec. To minimize an unnatural cast and ensure lifelike results, the Auto color-Balancing Flash detects artificial light and fires automatically.
