C-2100 ULTRA ZOOM FAQS The Olympus C-2100 Ultra Zoom digital camera is a full-featured 10x optical zoom/2.6x digital zoom, EVF filmless digital camera. The 2.1 megapixel CCD and lens are matched and designed for the best digital photographic performance. Advancing the technology of its predecessors, the C-2100 Ultra Zoom is the first Olympus filmless camera to offer a 10x image stabilized all-glass aspherical zoom lens from 7- 70mm (38-380mm equivalent in 35mm film photography) to remove unwanted user camera shake for a clearer image. For extended range, the 2.6x digital produces a 35mm equivalent telephoto over 980mm to bring the action closer. At f2.8 -3.5, the lens is fast and bright with 1/3 step aperture control to f11 throughout the zoom range to maximize camera control. The C-2100 Ultra Zoom eliminates the need for the photographer to carry heavy attachable telephoto lenses. The C-2100 Ultra Zoom is made for the photographer who wants an all-in one camera with the ease of a point and shoot with flexibility and advanced features, including many automatic and manual controls like exposure, focus, white balance and flash. New advanced features built into the C-2100 Ultra Zoom include fast performance times with the 16mb SD-RAM buffer for a burst mode of 3 frames per second and 1.2 second shot to shot performance for unlimited standard quality images; an electronic viewfinder (EVF) SLR viewfinder design; and iESP TTL or spot autofocus and focusing illuminator to focus from macro to infinity. White Balance is also included in the new iESP multi-pattern full-automatic TTL system with 4 preset manual selections. The metering system features the Digital ESP multi-patterned metering system, center weighted, spot or multi-spot metering of up to 8 spot readings. The popular QuickTime Movie feature provides the ability to film short movies, to post on the internet or view through the camera's LCD. No external microphones are needed as sound is recorded directly from the camera's built-in microphone. The video with sound can also be viewed on any television with the included NTSC A/V cable. The C-2100 Zoom employs SmartMedia storage cards and comes with an 8mb SmartMedia card (it accepts cards of up to 64mb). A built-in USB connection provides the easiest and fastest solution for downloading images. Other choices for downloading include the optional "FlashPath" floppy disk adapter, USB reader, PC Card Adapter for laptops, or by using the SmartMedia card slot in the P-330N printer.

Exposure compensation is available in +/- 2 steps EV by 1/3 step increments and Auto Bracketing from 1/3, 2/3 or 1 stop increments for 3 or 5 shots.
