Description — Olympus FE-240
The Olympus FE-240 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 1/2.5-inch, 7MP sensor capable of capturing stills at 3072x2304 pixels. The 2.5-inch fixed LCD with 115,000 dots resolution handles all framing and playback duties, as no viewfinder is present. Autofocus relies on contrast detection with a single focus point, keeping operation straightforward for casual photographers.
The ISO 50–1000 range and Digital/Electronic IS help manage varied lighting conditions. A built-in flash provides supplemental lighting when needed. For video, the FE-240 records at up to 480p at 30fps in 8-bit color.
The plastic body measures 91 x 55 x 17 mm and comes in at just 145g, making it one of the more pocketable options in its category. USB connectivity is included for file transfer, while Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are absent. The Li-ion battery is rated for approximately 200 shots per charge. No weather sealing is present on this model.
