A super-slim camera packing a powerful punch. It's hard to believe this ultra-slim camera packs a powerful 5x optical zoom. Even more unbelievable is that the FE-240 also packs Bright Capture Technology, and a host of other features, in its sleek and compact frame.

5X OPTICAL ZOOM. Get 60 percent closer than 3x zoom! You'll be closer to the action with the precision-crafted Olympus lens designed to deliver sharper, clearer images from farther away.

BRIGHT CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY. Keep it bright even in low light. When shooting or recording in certain scene modes, Bright Capture allows you to clearly preview your shot on the LCD and capture bright, vivid images in low light situations — without a flash.

DIGITAL IMAGE STABILIZATION MODE & EDIT. Prevent and correct blurry images without a computer! Digital Image Stabilization Mode freezes the action for crisp, clear images. Digital Image Stabilization Edit uses built-in gyro sensors to track camera movement so you can fix blurry images right in the camera.

16 SHOOTING MODES INCLUDING MOVIE WITH SOUND. Preset shooting modes optimize the camera's settings for any shooting situation. Choose from Portrait, Night Scene, Underwater, Movie and more.

TRUEPIC TURBO IMAGE PROCESSOR. TruePic TURBOTM delivers truer colors and quicker start-up, shot-to-shot and shutter release time so you always get the best results.
