Key Features

• Manual Settings for Added Creative Control The addition of manual Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority modes gives users versatility and control for optimal performance in any situation. Users can express their creative vision - adjusting the f-stop for detailed portraits with softened backgrounds, or slowing the exposure speed to create the blurred effect of motion.
• 30 Selectable Shooting Modes The SP-350 makes it easy to capture great images in a variety of lighting situations with 24 pre-programmed scene modes, such as Night Scene, Indoor Portrait or Cuisine Mode.

The fast startup of less than one second and nearly instant shutter release time ensures a high-speed response so you are always ready to take great pictures.
• Pixel Mapping & Noise Reduction Automatic Pixel Mapping (APM) available via menu setting identifies failed pixels that accumulate over time and compensates for them automatically, Noise reduction is set automatically at shutter speeds of 0.5 second or longer.
• In-camera Editing With in-camera editing features such as Red-Eye Fix, color brightness and saturation adjustments, users can edit photos on the fly - no longer do you have to tool around with computers and editing software for simple image touch-ups!
• Style and Ergonomics With the SP-series cameras, Olympus returns to the traditional, compact appearance of its traditional range-finder cameras. with a compact size and light weight, the SP-350 tucks away easily into a pocket or backpack.

• Accessory Lenses & Flashes for Expanded Capabilities The SP-350 camera feature a threaded barrel, which enables easy attachment of optional add-on wide angle or telephoto conversion lenses for even more creative control. The SP-350 also has a hot shoe for external flashes, providing additional versatility for more advanced shots when difficult lighting is an issue.
• Underwater Photography Capable The optional PT-030 underwater housing was created specially for the SP-310/SP-350 cameras - so you can take your camera with you on your underwater excursions. The large 2.5-inch premium size LCD, compact body size and three underwater scene modes make it the perfect camera to take along diving.
• Easy USB Auto-Connect Connecting the camera to a computer is easy with the USB Auto-Connect feature, which connects directly via USB 2.0 cable and requires no software.

Display an image on the LCD, and print it with just the push of the one-touch EASYPRINT button on the back of the camera - no computer necessary.
• Olympus Master Software The Olympus SP-350 digital Camera includes Olympus Master software which provides the ultimate in digital imaging management. An intuitive user interface makes downloading to your computer quick and simple, and images are searchable by date or keyword in the Calendar View.
