Camera OverviewOlympus C-3020 Zoom

The Olympus Camedia C-3020 Zoom is a point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 3MP sensor housed in a 1/1.8-inch format. It captures images at a maximum resolution of 2048x1536 pixels, giving shooters a solid foundation for prints and everyday photography from the early digital era. The camera offers an ISO range of 100 to 400, providing flexibility across a range of lighting conditions without venturing into higher sensitivities.

For composing shots, users have access to both a 1.8-inch TFT LCD display and an optical real-image viewfinder, offering two distinct ways to frame a scene. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with a single focus point. The built-in flash supports a comprehensive set of modes including Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Fill-In, Off, Slow Sync with first and second curtain options, and Flash Intensity Control, giving users meaningful control over flash behavior.

Color profile options include sRGB, Black & White, and Sepia. The camera body is constructed from plastic, measures 109 x 66 x 76 mm, and weighs 380g. It connects to a computer via USB and accepts 2x CR-V3 lithium or 4x AA batteries, making power sources easy to source.

No image stabilization is present.
