Camera Overview — Olympus D-560 Zoom

The Olympus Camedia D-560 Zoom is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 3.2-megapixel, 1/2.5-inch sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 2048x1536 pixels. Designed for casual everyday shooting, it keeps things straightforward with a fixed lens configuration and a single-point contrast detection autofocus system. The camera's ISO range runs from 60 to 400, offering flexibility across reasonably lit environments without venturing into demanding low-light territory.

A built-in flash covers the most common scenarios, including auto, forced, red-eye reduction, slow-sync, slow-sync red-eye, and off modes, giving users solid control over lighting in typical situations. For composition and review, there's a 1.8-inch fixed LCD with 85,000 pixels of resolution alongside an optical tunnel viewfinder. The body itself is constructed from plastic, measures 108 x 58 x 40 mm, and weighs in at 220g, making it genuinely pocketable.

Power comes from two AA batteries, with NiMH recommended for better performance. A USB connection handles image transfer, while burst mode is available at up to 1.5 frames per second. Color output is rendered in sRGB.

This is a no-frills, accessible compact camera suited to users who want simple digital photography without complex controls or settings.
