Description — Olympus SP 320
The Olympus SP 320 is a compact point-and-shoot camera centered on a 7MP sensor with a 1/1.8-inch format, producing still images at up to 3072x2304 pixels in the sRGB color profile. Its ISO range of 64 to 800 provides flexibility across various lighting conditions. The camera's contrast detection autofocus system and burst mode at 2.4fps help capture action without fuss.
For composition and review, the 2.5-inch TFT color LCD at 115,000 dots works alongside an optical real image tunnel viewfinder. The built-in flash covers five modes — Auto, Red-Eye, Forced, Off, and Slow — handling a wide range of flash scenarios. Video recording reaches 480p at 30fps or 15fps.
The plastic body measures 100 x 65 x 35 mm and weighs just 180g, keeping it genuinely pocket-sized. Powering the camera is flexible: use 2x AA batteries (alkaline, NiMH, or Oxyride) or a single CR-V3 lithium cell. File transfers are handled over USB, with no wireless connectivity on board.
