Description — Olympus D-400 Zoom
The Olympus Camedia D-400 Zoom is a point-and-shoot compact camera built on a 1/2-inch sensor with a resolution of 1.31MP, producing images at up to 1280x960 pixels. It records stills in four quality modes: Standard, High, Super High, and TIFF, offering users control over image output. The camera includes a burst mode capable of up to 2 frames per burst, useful for capturing moving subjects.
Focusing is handled by a contrast detection autofocus system with a single focus point. The 1.8-inch TFT LCD display and optical tunnel viewfinder provide two options for composing shots. The built-in pop-up flash covers auto, red-eye reduction, fill, and off modes.
Powered by 4x AA batteries with an estimated 100–200 shots per set, the camera is practical for extended outings. The plastic body weighs 320g and measures 127 x 67 x 54 mm. ISO sensitivity spans 60 to 120, and there is no image stabilization, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth.
