The Olympus C-3000 Zoom is a self-contained color digital camera system, produced by the Olympus Optical Co., Ltd..
Features
The C-3000 Zoom offers a 3x optical zoom lens, support for SmartMedia storage, and a 3.3 megapixel, 1/1.8-inch CCD image sensor. The camera supports automatic "point-and-shoot" type photography (P Setting), as well as three manual modes (S - Shutter Prioity, A - Aperture Priority, and M - Fully Manual). It supports lighting color correction (Flash, Sunlight, Clouds, Incandescent, Fluorescent, and Automatic). The camera supports an external flash via a proprietary connector and brackett, however it does not provide a hotshoe on the camera. The camera may be operated conventionally, fired via a remote control, fired by time delay, or fired-by-wire via software such as Cam2Com [1]. The camera features F-Stop settings ranging from F2.8 to F11, and exposure settings from 1/800 to 16 seconds.
Limitations
The C-3000 Zoom, as with most consumer single-chip digital cameras, suffers from half-resolution imaging in the blue channel. Images taken of blue subjects will be unsuitable for use at the full 3.3 megapixels and will require downsampling. It does not support RAW image format. Also, the camera does not support the USB Storage class, which inherently means it must be driven using a camera control driver provided by Olympus.
