*Using the manual presets produced marginal improvements in the fluorescent and daylight shade categories, but only increased the off hues of tungsten-illuminated photos. You wouldn't see this level of difference in actual photos shot with the camera. In the test images below, produced by Imatest image analysis software, the differences between ideal and actual colors have been exaggerated to show the nature of the color shift more clearly. However, colors were wildly off in shots taken in the shade, and photos taken under tungsten lighting (similar to ordinary household bulbs) showed an uncomfortable shift towards overly warm and orange tones. Interestingly, one of the light sources that proves most challenging for compact cameras, fluorescent bulbs, was a strong point for the 1050 SW, and it also handled flash with good results. This is certainly the case with the 1050 SW.

Most often we find that a camera will cope well with certain light sources and go down to defeat with others. We test both of these strategies under a range of lighting conditions. Most cameras offer at least two ways of coping with this challenge: an automatic system which lets the camera analyze the incoming light and adjust accordingly, and a set of presets tuned to specific light sources, which the user can choose manually. This adjustment is far more difficult for a camera than it is for the human brain, but it's necessary to produce a good-looking photo. Looking at a sheet of paper under fluorescent light or a standard household bulb, for example, our minds adjust for the substantial difference between the two source of illumination and basically see the paper as white. Here again, comparison is not flattering, with a significant drop in dynamic range performance even when compared against the brand-mate Stylus 1030 SW.Д®xcept in fairly extreme lighting conditions вЂ“ reading by candlelight, for example вЂ“ we're not very sensitive to the color of the light around us. In each square, the outer rectangle is the color as captured by the camera, the inner square is the chart color corrected to match the luminance of the camera image, and the small inset rectangle reproduces the original chart color. The squares correspond to the twenty-four color blocks of the GretagMacbeth chart. The chart below is one revealing part of the Imatest analytical output.

With that in mind, we shoot an industry-standard GretagMacbeth color chart under bright, controlled studio lighting, then analyze the resulting images using Imatest software to determine how closely the photo produced by the camera reproduces the known colors on the chart. It's far easier to tweak a photo to meet your particular personal preferences if it starts out reproducing precisely what you saw when you took the shot. We're limited here to measuring color accuracy, which in the age of inexpensive and easy photo editing strikes us as more important anyway. When it comes to color, we haven't figured out a way to test for pretty yet, though admittedly that's what many people want in their digital cameras: bluer than blue skies, pinker than pink cheeks, and so on. Results for color accuracy and low light performance were OK, but just about everything else was decidedly sub-par, and the white balance test was a train wreck.**

The 1050 SW may be right at home underwater or high on a ski slope, but it was less than comfortable in our testing labs. The battery/memory compartment door feels rugged and secure. Ultimately you figure out that the word OLYMPUS printed on the battery faces toward the front of the camera, but we were slow learners in this regard. One ongoing problem we had involves that battery: it's completely symmetrical and practically begs to be inserted upside down, which we did frequently. The battery is held in place with a small red tab to keep it from falling out while the door is open, and the xD card slides easily into place. Maybe this is seen as a low-importance feature for an outdoorsy camera, but we feel this was an unfortunate cost-cutting decision. It seems strange that, with a camera body built of sturdy metal, the tripod socket is made of plastic. The edges of the chamber are not as tightly sealed as the 1030 SW (makes sense, given their very different waterproofing ranges), but still impressively secure. The sliding latch is nicely recessed to avoid accidental opening but yields easily enough to a well-placed fingernail, springing open to reveal its contents. The camera bottom is most notable for it's industrial-grade door shielding the battery and memory card compartment.
