Summary of Contents for Olympus Camedia C-3030 Zoom

  • Page 1 Click to take a 360-degree QTVR tour of the C-3030 Zoom The new Olympus C-3030 ZOOM is a 3.34 megapixel digital camera with 15 different still image capture modes in five different image sizes (2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, 1024 x 768 and 640 x 480.) It also offers QuickTime Movie capture at 15fps with...
  • Page 2 6-mode flash has a new slow syncro mode plus red-eye reduction plus a connector that provides true TTL control of the Olympus FL-40 external speedlight. Shutter speeds from 1/30 to 1/10,000 second plus longer shutter speeds of up to 16 seconds in Manual mode.
  • Page 3 I'm happy to report that Olympus has finally done away with that battery door that required two hands and twelve fingers to close. The new door easily closes and latches securely shut with little to no effort. The bottom of the C-3030 is nice and flat and lends itself well to being mounted on a tripod.
  • Page 4 The lens base is threaded and accepts the optional Olympus CLA-1 lens adapter to attach filters or add-on lenses. The mode dial is also the main power switch. Recording modes include "P"rogram automatic, a choice of "A"perture priority, "S"hutter priority or full "M"anual operation (depends on how you set it up in the menu).
  • Page 5 The C-3030Z accomodates any capacity 3.3v SmartMedia card and comes with an 16MB card. The C-3030's I/O ports are neatly hidden behind an easy to access door on the side. On the top is the DC input jack for the optional AC power adapter.
  • Page 6 The C-3030 is equipped with a 5-pin sync port that allows connection to the high power Olympus FL-40 speedlight. The benefits are longer range, bounce/tilt flash head and true TTL-controlled flash illumination. A newly designed door makes changing the batteries a snap now compared to the tug of war we had with the C-2020 and C-2000 models.
  • Page 7 What's in the box? The C-3030 ZOOM camera, a 16MB Olympus brand panorama SmartMedia card, remote control, 2 CR-3V Lithium batteries, lens cap, strap, USB and serial cable for PC and Mac, video connection cable for TV or VCR, Adobe PhotoShop LE image manipulation and creation software, Enroute Imaging QuickStitch panorama stitching software, Olympus Camedia Master Utility Software, and instruction manuals.
