Description — Olympus C-2100 UZ
The Olympus CAMEDIA C-2100 Ultra Zoom is a point-and-shoot compact camera featuring a 2.11MP sensor on a 1/2-inch sensor platform. Images can be captured at up to 1600x1200 pixels across three color profiles: Standard, Vivid, and Monochrome. The camera's optical image stabilization (OIS) is implemented as in-body IS, helping to steady shots from the fixed lens.
Autofocus relies on contrast detection with 1 focus point. The ISO sensitivity range spans 100 to 400. For composing shots, you can use either the 1.8-inch TFT LCD at 110,000 dots or the electronic viewfinder at 114,000 dots.
The flash system includes a built-in pop-up flash with five modes — Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Fill-In, Slow Sync, and Off — plus an external flash sync terminal. The body is made of plastic with metal elements, measures 141 x 113 x 78mm, and weighs 590g. USB connectivity is included; Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not.
Power is supplied by 4x AA (alkaline, NiMH, or lithium) or 2x CR-V3 batteries.
