IR-500
overview
The newly introduced Dock & Done functionality was developed by
Olympus to simplify connection and operation so that digital
cameras and related peripherals are easier and more fun to use.
Users simply "dock" the digital camera in its dedicated cradle and
they're "done" - image storage and printing can be performed
without even using a computer. In fact, with Dock & Done, users
can shoot, review, save, search, view, display, and share their
photos with greater ease than ever before.
The new-concept digital camera that supports Dock & Done
functionality is called the "i:robe IR-500" because it can be
carried anywhere, anytime, allowing users to "robe" themselves in
"images" wherever they go. It is the first Olympus camera to
feature a multi-swing display that can be rotated 360° for
versatile shooting in a wide range of situations, including
low-angle/high-angle shooting and self-portrait shooting. The
multi-swing display also ensures carefree portability because it
protects both the display and the lens when in the closed position.
S-HD-100 storage device, equipped with a CPU and USB hub
funcitionality, incorporates a 40GB hard disk drive that can hold
approximately 40,000 4-megapixel images, while the compact P-S100
digital photo printer can produce postcard and L-size photo prints.
Both peripheral devices support Dock & Done functionality, as
well as personal computer connectivity.
White is used as the signature color for all products. Reminiscent
of white porcelainware that sets off the beauty of the items it
contains, the color scheme ensures timeless beauty and
compatibility with a variety of interior decorating schemes.
Olympus believes that precious everyday photos are a form of
"personal content," and proposes a "New Photo Life Solution" as a
total solution concept for a rich new photo lifestyle. With the
introduction of these new products with Dock & Done
functionality, it proposes a new way to enjoy photos and a new
photo lifestyle that it hopes will contribute to the development of
a new imaging culture.
