Camera Overview — Olympus SP 320

The Olympus SP 320 is a 7-megapixel point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 1/1.8-inch sensor. It delivers a maximum still image resolution of 3072x2304 pixels and captures images in the sRGB color profile. The ISO range runs from 64 to 800, giving shooters a reasonable spread for both well-lit and lower-light environments.

The camera features a contrast detection autofocus system and supports burst shooting at up to 2.4 frames per second, making it capable of capturing fast-moving subjects within its limits. On the back, a 2.5-inch TFT color LCD with 115,000 dots serves as the primary composition and review tool, complemented by an optical real image tunnel viewfinder for those who prefer eye-level shooting. Video recording tops out at 480p, with frame rate options of 30fps and 15fps.

The built-in flash supports Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Forced, Off, and Slow sync modes — a solid range for a compact. The body measures 100 x 65 x 35 mm and weighs 180g, making it genuinely pocketable. Power comes from 2x AA batteries (alkaline, NiMH, or Oxyride) or a single CR-V3 lithium cell — a flexible arrangement that makes sourcing power on the road straightforward.

Connectivity includes USB, though there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Storage is handled via internal storage plus an additional media option.
