Camera OverviewOlympus C-2020 Zoom

The Olympus Camedia C-2020 Zoom is a fixed-lens point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 1/2-inch sensor delivering a 2.1MP maximum resolution. Images can be captured at up to 1600x1200 pixels, and the camera supports color profiles including sRGB, Black & White, and Sepia, giving photographers some in-camera creative options. The autofocus system uses contrast detection, with a manual focus mode also available.

ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 400, covering standard shooting conditions in a range typical of early digital compacts. The built-in flash covers Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Fill, and Off modes, and a PC sync socket allows connection to external flash units — a notably practical feature for a camera in this class. The rear panel features a 1.8-inch TFT LCD display with 114,000 dots of resolution for image review and composition.

An optical tunnel viewfinder is also included as an alternative to the screen. The camera connects via USB and is powered by four AA batteries, with NiMH recommended. Body dimensions are 108 x 74 x 66 mm and weight comes in at 380g.

Video capture is supported at up to 320x240 resolution. There is no image stabilization, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth. Weather sealing is not present.
