Camera Overview — Olympus FE-130

The Olympus FE-130 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 1/2.5-inch sensor capable of capturing images at 5MP resolution with a maximum output of 2560x1920 pixels. It targets everyday casual photographers who prioritize simplicity and portability over advanced controls. The camera runs on 2x AA batteries, offering approximately 160 shots per charge with alkaline batteries — a practical choice for travelers who may not always have access to a proprietary charger.

Weighing just 130g and measuring 96 x 63 x 25mm, the plastic body is genuinely pocketable. The 2.0-inch fixed LCD display offers 85,000 dots of resolution for image review and menu navigation, and there is no optical viewfinder, so the LCD serves as the sole framing tool. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with a single center focus point.

The built-in flash supports Auto, Red-eye reduction, Fill-in, and Off modes, providing basic flash flexibility for indoor and low-light situations. ISO sensitivity runs from 64 to 800. The camera records video at up to 15fps in 8-bit color with an sRGB color profile.

Storage options include internal memory alongside support for additional media. USB connectivity is available for transferring files, though there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
