Description — Olympus C-770 UZ
The Olympus Camedia C-770 Ultra Zoom is a point-and-shoot digital camera centered on a 4MP, 1/2.5-inch sensor driven by Olympus's TruePic TURBO image processor. Images are captured at up to 2288x1712 pixels, with a burst mode reaching 2.7fps for sequential shooting. The ISO range of 50–400 gives clean output in good lighting while keeping the ceiling modest.
Composition is handled via a fixed 1.8-inch, 114,000-pixel LCD or an electronic viewfinder at 110,000 pixels. Flash options include a built-in pop-up dual-tube flash and a proprietary Olympus hot shoe for external flash units. Video capability reaches 640x480 at 30fps in 8-bit.
The body is built from plastic with metal accents, measures 105 x 60 x 69 mm, and weighs 310g. USB connectivity is on board, while Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not. The Li-12B lithium-ion battery delivers approximately 240 shots per charge (CIPA, LCD on). There is no image stabilization of any kind.
