“September 25, 2007 — Olympus has introduced the SP-560 Ultra Zoom digital camera with 27mm wide-angle to 18x optical zoom) and an 8-megapixel image sensor. Its super-macro captures from as close as one centimeter. The compact lens construction combines high-refractive, aspherical and extra-dispersion (ED) lens elements. The bright, f/2.8-4.5 lens provides the equivalent of 27-486mm focal length with 100x total seamless zoom (5.6x digital zoom).

Face Detection Technology tracks faces within the frame and automatically focuses (Face Detection AF) and optimizes exposure (Face Detection AE) for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures.

The SP-560 UZ also incorporates Shadow Adjustment Technology, which compensates for extreme contrast where the shadow areas are underexposed and lack visible detail.”
