X-CEPTIONAL PICTURE QUALITY.

X-CELLENT LOW LIGHT PERFORMANCE.

EXPERIENCE THE

X-TREME CREATIVITY.

X-FACTOR.

It all starts with the lens. The highperformance iZuiko lens found in the XZ-1 is a compact version of the legendary Olympus Zuiko Digital™ lenses, the ﬁrst ever designed speciﬁcally for compact cameras.

With a bright aperture of f1.8 at wide-angle and a maximum aperture of f2.5 at telephoto, this fast, superbright lens delivers stunning image quality and allows a rich and vibrant range of photographic expression.

Shoot high-quality, tack-sharp images, even in low light.

A sensitive side.

Compared to existing 1/2.33-inch, 14-megapixel CCDs, the light-reception area of each pixel of the XZ-1’s 1/1.63-inch, 10-megapixel CCD has been doubled. This sophisticated sensor is paired with the TruePicV Image Processor, which applies highly accurate noise control to ensure the clearest, highest quality images possible.

Raw genius.

In addition to the standard JPEG format, you can also use the RAW data format for more convenient picture retouching after shooting. The RAW data can be developed on a PC, by running the provided “OLYMPUS Viewer 2” software, or on the camera itself.

More precise.

A built-in Neutral Density (ND) Filter gives you more control of light exposure. Simply select ND Filter from the XZ-1’s menu and express your shot your way.

Low Light Mode On

Low Light Mode Off

Brave the darkness.

Combining three state-of-the-art features – the bright, large-aperture iZuiko lens, a high-sensitivity CCD sensor, and Dual Image Stabilization – this camera lets you capture clear, sharp images every time. Shoot dim interiors or outdoors at night, even handheld shots without using the ﬂash. The ISO sensitivity adjusts up to ISO 6400 to take sharp, full-resolution photos in dark places.

Smooth operator.

The XZ-1 control rings let you manually adjust the ISO sensitivity, f-number or shutter speed*, giving you unprecedented control over your images. The ergonomic design of the control rings, together with the user-friendly layout of dials and buttons, serve to make camera operations easy, comfortable and reliable.

*The adjustable function varies depending on the shooting mode.

Visibly brighter.

The XZ-1’s large 3” 610,000 dot OLED LCD produces rich, deep colors, while its wide ﬁeld of view makes it easy to shoot from difﬁcult angles.
