Other Features
Automatic Pixel Mapping — Automatic Pixel Mapping (APM) is a means of re-formatting the dispersal of pixels across the CCD. When pixels become ineffective over time, users generally have to send the camera in to the manufacturer and have them re-format the sensor; however, the included APM feature is designed to re-map the pixels within the camera by pressing a button. Found within the camera menu, users can select the pixel mapping feature and re-configure the sensor for optimal sensitivity. According to Olympus, this feature only needs to be used about once a year and should significantly prolong the camera’s lifespan.
Noise reduction mechanism — For exposures exceeding 1/2 second in duration, a noise reduction feature is activated to suppress visible noise and distortion within the image.
PT-027 Underwater Housing — Avid divers and frequent vacationers can use the C-7070 in depths of up to 130ft. bellow the surface, using the camera’s underwater casing.
