Camera Overview — Olympus C-160

The Olympus Camedia C-160 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built for casual, everyday photography. At its core is a 3MP sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 2048x1536 pixels, delivering files suitable for standard prints and digital sharing. The camera uses a contrast detection autofocus system with a single focus point, keeping operation straightforward and approachable for everyday users.

The 1.5-inch fixed LCD display offers 120,000 dots of resolution for image review and framing, complemented by an optical viewfinder as an alternative compositing option. A built-in flash with multiple modes provides basic lighting flexibility in varied shooting conditions. Powering the camera are either two AA batteries or a single CR-V3 cell, with an approximate yield of 150 shots per set of AA alkalines — a practical choice given the widespread availability of AA batteries.

The plastic body measures 110 x 62 x 38 mm and weighs just 154g, making it genuinely pocketable. Connectivity is handled via USB for image transfer. The ISO range runs from 50 to 150, and video capture is supported at up to 15fps in 8-bit color.

There is no image stabilization of any kind, and no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity.
