Immortalise the majesty of jumping dolphins from the railing of a boat or take a spontaneous shot of the kids as they play at a distance: The µ[mju:] 830’s powerful 5x zoom (equiv. to 36-180mm) lets you capture more. Even the effects of camera shake – potentially a risk in photos taken at high zoom levels – are not a worry due to image stabilisation.

Rain or shine, this 8.0 Megapixel model performs like the champion it is. The pairing of clever Shadow Adjustment Technology with innovative Face Detection Technology ensures that shadowy, unbalanced exposures are relegated to a thing of the past and that blurry faces don’t stand a chance.

The 22 scene modes, including Candle and Night Scene, return great results that faithfully capture the atmosphere of the moment – no matter if a romantic dinner, thumping night-time party or thrilling sporting event.
