Description — Olympus VR-340
The Olympus VR-340 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built for straightforward everyday photography. It carries a 16MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format inside a plastic body that measures just 104.3 x 60.2 x 28.3 mm and tips the scales at 170g, making it genuinely pocketable. The camera's sensor-shift IBIS system works to counteract hand movement, while the autofocus system combines contrast detection with face detection AF and subject tracking for easier framing of people and moving subjects.
When the action picks up, burst mode delivers up to 7.2 frames per second. The 3.0-inch fixed LCD at 460,000 dots handles both composition and image review. The built-in flash offers five modes — Auto, On, Off, Red-Eye, and Fill-in — covering typical indoor and outdoor flash needs.
The ISO 100–3200 range and video recording at up to 30fps in 8-bit Standard color round out the core feature set. Storage is via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and the camera connects to a host device over USB.
