London, 25 August 2008 – Whether dropped from a table, left in a puddle of mud or thrown into a snow bank, the Olympus µ [mju:] 1050 SW keeps on going. Sporting a chic new exterior in Dolphin Grey, Pacific Blue, Midnight Black or Misty Rose, this shockproof, waterproof and freezeproof model is the ideal choice for today’s active and fashion-conscious photo-taker. An all-new TAP control interface guarantees unprecedented ease of use by tapping the camera, and the included microSD attachment lends users to more storage options than ever. The µ [mju:] 1050 SW will be ready for action at the end of September for an RRP of £259.99.
Don’t hold back because the µ [mju:] 1050 SW doesn’t want you to! Get shots at the beach, in the water and out, or hit the slopes with this model in hand – never mind the cold. Shockproof to 1.5m, waterproof to 3m and freezeproof to -10°C, the latest addition to Olympus’ µ [mju:] Tough line-up also features a fully-redesigned exterior that makes whipping it out of any purse or pocket even more exciting. Framing and reviewing shots on the extra large 6.9cm/2.7” HyperCrystal II LCD is pure pleasure with the newly-developed TAP control interface which lets users adjust settings and review images by simply tapping on the camera body. And an integrated 3x optical zoom (38-114mm*) uses an inner folded light path – so protruding parts never get in your way.
A µ [mju:] of many talents, the 10.1 Megapixel µ [mju:] 1050 SW packs plenty of brains along with its superb brawn. Advanced technologies such as Digital Image Stabilisation, Advanced Face Detection Technology and Shadow Adjustment Technology automatically tend to the technical details such as optimal sharpness and exposure.

The µ [mju:] 1050 SW is sure to turn heads with its stylishly-redesigned exterior in Dolphin Grey, Pacific Blue, Midnight Black and Misty Rose. What’s more, the availability of this model’s menus in 39 world languages makes it a cinch for virtually anyone to operate.
