Camera Overview — Olympus C-450 Zoom

The Olympus Camedia C-450 Zoom is a 4-megapixel point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 1/2.5-inch sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 2288x1712 pixels. Designed with simplicity in mind, it features a contrast detection autofocus system with a single focus point, making it straightforward to operate for casual shooting situations. The camera includes a 1.8-inch TFT LCD display for image review and composition, alongside an optical viewfinder as an alternative framing option.

A built-in flash covers multiple modes including Auto, Red-eye reduction, Fill-in, and Off, giving users basic control over flash behavior in varying lighting conditions. The ISO range runs from 50 to 400, providing some flexibility between low-light sensitivity and clean, low-noise output in bright conditions. The camera's fixed lens design keeps the body compact, with dimensions of 108 x 57 x 40 mm and a weight of just 170g, making it genuinely pocketable.

The C-450 Zoom accepts 2x AA batteries in either NiMH or Alkaline format, or alternatively a single CR-V3 lithium battery pack, offering flexibility in the field. Video capture is supported at up to 320x240 resolution at 15fps in 8-bit color. USB connectivity is included for image transfer.

The plastic body has no weather sealing.
