Camera OverviewOlympus FE-4030

The Olympus FE-4030 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 14MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 4288x3216 pixels. Aimed at casual photographers who prioritize simplicity and portability, the FE-4030 keeps things accessible with a 2.7-inch fixed LCD display at 230,000 dots for composing and reviewing shots. The autofocus system relies on contrast detection and face detection AF, with subject tracking support, making it reasonably capable for everyday people photography without manual intervention.

The camera covers an ISO range of 64 to 1600, giving it some flexibility in varying lighting conditions. For video, it tops out at 720p resolution with frame rate options of 30fps or 15fps. Image stabilization is handled digitally rather than optically.

Storage is handled via SD and SDHC cards, and connectivity includes USB. The built-in flash adds a layer of versatility in low-light situations. Weighing just 146 grams and measuring 93 x 56 x 22 mm, the FE-4030 is genuinely pocketable, making it a practical choice for everyday carry.

It runs on an LI-42B battery and offers color profile options including Standard and Magic Filters for a bit of creative variety.
