Since you don’t get a second chance for the perfect shot in the heat of the action, the Olympus Mju Tough 6010 digital camera also boasts a range of clever functions. Delivering perfect images of once in a lifetime moments i-Auto Mode, for example, automatically adjusts camera settings to one of five recognised commonly-used scenes. In addition, Advanced Face Detection Technology detects up to 16 faces for consistent quality across group portraits. And for a flawless look under tough conditions, Beauty Photo Mode is on hand to smooth out imperfections and leave subjects looking refreshed.

Launched in July, the mju Tough-6010 shares many of the features of its six-months-older sibling Olympus 8000. It has the same 12-megapixel 1/2.33-inch CCD sensor, the same 3.6x zoom lens equivalent to 28-102mm, and the same 2.7-inch 230k HyperCrystal III monitor. Where it differs is the design of the body. Where the Tough-8000 is all metal, the Tough-6010 is mostly plastic, with only the cosmetic fascia panel being aluminium. As a result it's not quite as tough as the 8000, although it will still survive situations that would kill any normal camera. It is waterproof to a depth of 3m, can survive drops from 1.5m and freezing temperatures down to -10 centigrade .

The body shape is also more rounded, with softer corners, and lacks the industrial appearance of some previous models. It is comfortably into ultra-compact territory, measuring 95.3 x 63.4 x 22.4 mm, although this is in fact slightly larger than the Tough-8000, probably due to the thickness of the plastic construction. It is lighter than the 8000 though, weighing approximately 165g including battery and memory card. It is available with the fascia panel in three different colours; red, dark grey or the turquoise blue shown here.

Boasting everything from Dual Image Stabilisation to Tap Control, it was created to ensure photographic peace of mind while enjoying life’s many adventures. Available in a striking choice of colours. With the Olympus MJU 6010 SW Tough waterproof camera, digital photographers never have to worry about going where a camera can’t take the knocks. In addition to being freezeproof to -10 C, Olympus Mju 6010 SW is waterproof to 3 meters and provides shockproof protection against drops of up to 1.5 meter. The versatile 3.6x wide optical zoom (28-102mm) seen on the TIPA award winning Olympus Mju TOUGH 8000 camera is also on board for great group photos or close-ups of distant subjects.

To make those shots even more memorable, the Olympus 6010 SW now features inspiring Magic Filters. By applying Pin Hole, for example, images will seem to have been taken with a traditional pin hole camera. Pop Art, Fish-Eye, and Sketch add interesting effects of their own. What’s more, Dual Image Stabilisation keeps images blur-free even in rough and tumble environments. And so you’re always ready for that perfect shot, a practical Tap Control mode gives even gloved-hands easy access to a range of settings which can be viewed on the 6.9cm / 2.7” Hyper Crystal III LCD. The big display’s new “triple coating” protects it against reflection, scratches, and moisture to ensure comfortable shooting on the ski slopes and under water.
