Camera Overview — Olympus D-400 Zoom

The Olympus Camedia D-400 Zoom is a point-and-shoot compact camera from 1998, built around a 1/2-inch sensor delivering a resolution of 1.31MP and a maximum image output of 1280x960 pixels. It features a fixed lens design, making it a true all-in-one unit with no interchangeable optics. The camera captures still images across several quality modes — Standard, High, Super High, and TIFF — giving users some flexibility in how they balance image quality against storage.

A burst mode is available with a maximum rate of 2 frames per burst, which was a practical feature for entry-level digital cameras of its era. For framing, the D-400 Zoom offers an optical tunnel viewfinder alongside a 1.8-inch TFT LCD display. Autofocus relies on a contrast detection system with single-point focus.

The built-in pop-up flash supports auto, red-eye reduction, fill, and off modes, covering everyday shooting situations. The camera runs on 4x AA batteries, yielding approximately 100–200 shots per set. The plastic body measures 127 x 67 x 54 mm and weighs 320g.

There is no image stabilization, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth. ISO sensitivity ranges from 60 to 120.
