10x Optical Zoom
Capture outstanding images with the high-quality Olympus 10x
optical (6.3-63mm) lens. Equivalent to 38-380mm on a 35mm
SLR, the lens let you get closer to your subject for greater
detail and capture shots at distances that you would never
have been able to achieve with a lesser zoom lens. They are
also equipped with a seamless 3x (C-740) or 4x (C-750) digital
zoom. ‘Seamless’ means the cameras automatically switch to digital
zoom when the cameras reach their optical limit, thus enhancing ease of use.
