<b>Premium PEN style</b>
Sporting an elegant design similar to the renowned Olympus PEN E-P5 digital camera, the SH-1’s enhanced leather-like texture and metal build feel good in the hand – and look good too. Careful consideration of the rear grip and positioning of the controls allows you to concentrate on your subject while enjoying a refined photography experience.
<b>Ready for any scene</b>
The SH-1’s newly developed lens construction gives you a slim, high-performance lens with a high 24x optical zoom or 48x Super Resolution Zoom. So whether you are shooting at a low 25mm wide angle, or using telephoto or macro settings, you are assured excellent optical rendering – and beautiful image quality with every photo and movie.
<b>Superb clear images</b>
The SH-1 is the world’s first compact digital camera to be equipped with 5-axis image stabilisation (IS) for super-sharp images also in low light. This clever technology compensates for every kind of jolt or handshake – covering vertical angle rotation, horizontal angle rotation, vertical shift, horizontal shift and rolling camera shake.
<b>SH-1: Your moments in motion</b>
Advanced options for movie-making give you the freedom you need to let your creativity unfold.
<b>SH-1: Your shots ready for sharing</b>
Hassle-free sharing on the spot and convenient wireless control mean you’ll enjoy the SH-1 even more.
<b>SH-1: Your photos in a travel story</b>
Turn special events or travels into a creative collage-like story of photos, with a personal touch.
<b>iHS</b>
Combining a high-speed 16-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor and high-performance TruePic image processing engine, iHS technology lets you perfectly capture exactly the scenes you want – beautifully and in sharp quality.
<b>TruePic VII</b>
Together with the high-speed sensor, the next-generation TruePic VII image processor adapts precisely to the specific lens aperture you’re using – for spectacular photos and videos with true-to-life vibrancy.
<b>Art Filter</b>
Choose from any of the 7 Art Filters to add a personal, creative touch to all of your photos. Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pin Hole and Grainy Film are just a few that you’ll enjoy trying out.
<b>Manual Mode</b>
Set the camera’s aperture value, shutter speed and ISO manually as you like – the Manual Mode makes this possible. It allows you to be creative, capturing exotic photo situations in a style all your own.
<b>Smart Panorama</b>
Create an impressive super-wide-angle, wrap-around photo simply by panning the camera horizontally or vertically. The SH-1 then knits the separate stills together automatically to give you a breathtaking panorama view.
