Get a front-row view with the smallest 10x zoom camera*

If you are looking for a 10x zoom, why not come to the founder of the Ultra Zoom range? Thanks to its longstanding experience, you may rely on Olympus for a lens that offers superior performance. The very bright (f2.8 - 3.7), high quality optical system of the C-765 Ultra Zoom model comprises eleven elements arranged in seven groups and includes two aspherical lenses to reduce distortion plus an ED element. The latter is normally only found in pro-level SLR cameras and significantly helps reduce chromatic aberration.
This model is not only perfect for distant objects, but also lets you shoot from just 3cm away to create fascinating macro photos. Great quality prints are assured - even in sizes up to A4. This is achieved by pixel counts of 4 million pixels as well as the improved image processor TruePic Turbo, which perfects photographic quality in terms of sharpness, contrast and colour brilliancy.

The optimised electronic viewfinder allows - unlike many optical viewfinders - precise framing of the shot, and the resolution of 240,000 pixels means you enjoy a clear picture. Furthermore, so you don't have to take your eye from the subject when shooting, all activated settings are displayed in the electronic viewfinder.

The new Ultra Zoom model is versatile enough to match any user's comfort level. In auto mode, it offers point-and-shoot simplicity for flawless picture taking. For those times when creative expression is desired, the aperture priority, shutter priority or full manual settings allow greater control.

The movie mode enables you to capture video with sound. For instance, you can record the winning goal being scored, accompanied by the jubilation of the crowd. And the USB 2.0 AutoConnect interface ensures file transfer to the computer is now even quicker.

For newcomers as well as ambitious amateurs alike, the Olympus C-765 Ultra Zoom model gives the power of 10x zoom at a reasonable price. The camera, which weighs just 280 grams, has the smallest and lightest 10x Ultra Zoom body in this segment*. Offering excellent image quality and a broad range of advanced features, it combines versatility and ease of use in one sleek package. The new Olympus Ultra Zoom will be available from May 2004.
