On January 16th, 214, the 3rd China Public Welfare Festival was held in Beijing. Olympus (China) Co., Ltd. won the "213 Public Welfare Innovation Award" for its "Caring for Stomach and Embracing Health" large-scale public welfare salon held in seven cities in China in 213, and successfully ranked among the most influential brands in the public welfare field. As early as 22, the digital cameras of Olympus CAMEDIA series sold more than 1 million units worldwide, which fully demonstrated the strong market influence of Olympus. The E-51 fuselage, which was launched in June, 27, also added a CCD floating anti-hand-shock mechanism driven by ultrasonic motor for the first time, which is officially called IS(Image Stabilization), becoming the third manufacturer to use such anti-hand-shock countermeasures after SONY (formerly Konica/Minolta) and Pentax. The lens group of mirror ultrasonic motor, which is also aimed at fast focusing, will be sold in 27, and the product code is added with SWD(Supersonic Wave Drive) to show the difference. In 1983, Olympus cooperated with Canon to produce a series of video recording devices called "Olympus Video Photography" by JVC, and even hired the famous photographer Terance Donovan for publicity. The second edition of the system was launched in the second year, but this was the last time Olympus entered the consumer video device market until the popularity of digital cameras. Olympus, as a giant in the field of cameras in the world, achieved the brilliant achievement that the global sales of μ series cameras exceeded 2 million units in 21. Also in China, Olympus has been firmly in the position of "the national sales volume of civil cameras is the first" for eight consecutive years. What we are familiar with is generally only Olympus cameras. In fact, Olympus Group has made brilliant achievements in the fields of microscopes, medical instruments, traditional cameras, digital cameras, printers and other image solutions, as well as high-tech life engineering. For example, endoscope has developed from gastroscope in the early stage of development to fiberscope and electronic endoscope, and has become an indispensable equipment not only in examination and diagnosis, but also in diagnosis and treatment. Olympus endoscopes have won the trust of the medical profession and have a market share of 8% in the world. Swarovski Crystal Special Commemorative Edition E-P1 Digital Camera This Swarovski Crystal Special Commemorative Edition E-P1 has many Swarovski crystals embedded in its shell. I believe these designs are more suitable for Olympus hardcore winter powder or female users. However, its value as a collection is far greater than the value of the product itself, which deserves attention. Olympus PEN E-PM1 Mini Camera Olympus has positioned this 12-megapixel M43 camera as the "easiest and easy-to-use PEN camera" for fool camera users. It has a 3-inch 46,-dot LCD, 18i HD video recording capability, and can shoot RAW archive images with the highest brightness reaching ISO 12,8. Moreover, the exposure mode also supports full manual exposure, aperture prerequisite and shutter prerequisite. The fuselage colors are available in purple, pink, brown, white and black. Lens Olympus has a history of camera and lens design. The first truly innovative camera of Olympus was the PEN model in 1959, which was a very small and light half-frame camera at that time. Half-frame means that 72 photos in 18 × 24 mm format can be taken on a standard 36 films. The design team of PEN system was led by Migu Mijiu, who created a full-scale professional 35mm monocular camera OM system with the same design spirit to compete with Nikon and Canon for the best sales. OM system has introduced a new trend of lighter cameras because of its much smaller appearance and innovative design functions such as TTL automatic flash. Finally, the system has 14 different bodies and about 6 lenses. Zuiko series lenses are also famous for their small size, and some optical records have been broken because of their focal length. However, Olympus did not enter the autofocus market like its competitors, which led to the backwardness in the AF SLR market. Olympus is one of the leading manufacturers of digital cameras, and also the designer of the Four Thirds System, which is an open specification for digital monocular camera design and development. According to this specification, the Olympus E-1 is the first professional digital monocular camera that they published in 23. Subsequently, the E-3, E-5, E-33, E-41, E-51 and other bodies were successively introduced (there was an E-4 before the E-41, which was only sold in Europe and had no Live View function), except for the unique ultrasonic wave filter (SSWF), which could prevent the photosensitive original from getting dusty and foreign bodies. And the models after E-33 are equipped with Live View function, which allows photographers to take pictures through LCD in real time like ordinary digital cameras, breaking away from the limitation that monocular cameras can only take pictures through viewing windows. Medical treatment In 195, Olympus realized the practical application of gastroscope for the first time in the world. After that, we always take "peace of mind and safety" as the purpose, and constantly pursue new products to reduce the burden on patients and make contributions to the realization of the best medical care. At the same time, Olympus also spread the "three early" concept of "early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment" to people through the "Gastrointestinal Health Network", and always create new value for realizing people's healthy and happy lives. Olympus medical field is committed to providing product support for the whole medical field. The products include digestive endoscope, surgical endoscope, endoscope disposal instrument, ultrasonic endoscope, total solution of minimally invasive surgery and business support system aiming at improving the business efficiency of medical institutions, etc. Through the operation of "Gastrointestinal Health Network", it spreads the "three early" concept of "early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment" to the general public, and is improving medical technology and In order to curb the spread of cancer and improve the early detection rate and cure rate of cancer, it is urgent for China to increase the intensity and scope of early cancer screening and eliminate the blind area of inspection. This requires advanced diagnosis and treatment equipment and effective census means to support it. On May 13th, 29, the first commonweal general survey vehicle of upper digestive tract diseases in China was driven out from Anyang Cancer Hospital, Henan Province. Compared with the traditional endoscopes widely used in China, the Q15 Aozhi gastroscope system provided by Olympus Company for free this time adopted a lot of latest technological achievements, and the design was more humanized: the insertion part of the front endoscope was very thin, only 7 mm, and the operation was more flexible, and the whole examination only took about 1 to 15 minutes. Gastrointestinal Health Network Nowadays, the Internet plays an increasingly important role in people's lives with its free, convenient and fast characteristics. With the increasing demand for gastrointestinal health information, many professional gastrointestinal health websites came into being. One of the representatives in this respect is the Gastrointestinal Health Network, a professional gastrointestinal self-examination website imported from China by Olympus, an internationally renowned optical manufacturer.
