The Olympus D -40 zoom is a 4.1 megapixel digital still camera which is also capable of recording up to 4 seconds of quicktime motion and sound. The camera is small enough to fit into a pocket. A power activation door protects the zoom lens and also turns on or off the camera. A universal camera which means that it can be used by a window or Macintosh user. It is a good first timer camera to buy because of its ease of use. A rotary dial on top of the camera activates different mode screens in the 1.5 high resolution LCD right near it. your mode choices start with Auto where the camera will calculate all functions to get you the best possible shot. The Portrait mode just like the name implies focus is on the person or object and the back ground is out of focus. Landscape / Portrait will get you a middle of the road focal shoot. Night scene will allow for a lower shutter speed and a allowance for next to nothing light source. The self - Portrait will allow you to turn the camera in your hand so that it is facing you - say cheese. In the manual mode you are free to still have the camera look after some setting automatically for you. The nice thing about manual is that you can pick and choose how you want your camera to be set up. Even when the camera is powered down on the next use it remembers all your last programed setting. The camera is small but take a great picture from micro to infinity. Starting at 0.8 meters to infinity this camera is a work horse for publishing: print or the internet. |
| This is a great first time camera. It is easy to use in the automatic mode and easy to learn also. It is a small camera but is big on features. The lack of an external flash may encourage some to look at the C4040 other wise this is a great buy. |
