the background and make the subject stand out.

dramatic nighttime
photographs.
Shooting a sequence of up to
45 shots at two-shots-per-
second means you won’t miss
the most dramatic moment.
The C-2000 ZOOM takes multiple shots that get stitched together on a PC to create a
true panorama instead of cropping a single wide-angle shot to simulate one like film cameras do.

panorama. Snag a seat next to

Olympus film cameras are famous for
their superior optical systems and easy-
to-use advanced features. Olympus
filmless digital cameras have consistently
led the industry with their award-winning
performance, quality and value. Put them
together in a ruggedized aluminum
chassis with 3x optical zoom lens and
super-high 2.1 Megapixel resolution
and you have the only camera you
need to
take great
pictures.
Taking super snapshots is a snap.
Sporting a streamlined chassis that fits
in the palm of your hand, you can always
give it your best shot with the C-2000
ZOOM. Just position the image in the
optical viewfinder or brightly lit LCD,
push the button and the C-2000 ZOOM can
do the rest. With autofocus, auto flash,
auto exposure and auto white balance.
The results speak for themselves
with bright colors and sharp details
that make you the star behind every
picture.
True point-and-shoot photography.
The C-2000 ZOOM incorporates an ESP
metering system that's the brains behind
taking perfectly exposed pictures. It
automatically measures light at the
center and surrounding areas of the
frame, compares it and selects optimum
exposure and f-stop. What could be
easier? Or faster?
With the C-2000 ZOOM, the focus is on
you and what you need to make the
most out of every photo opportunity and
express your creativity.
Do what comes natural. Nothing is
more satisfying than the ability to use
natural light in a way
that's truly photo-
graphic. With the
C-2000 ZOOM you can
use spot metering to
isolate the subject–
particularly where
high contrast is
present – and ensure
it's properly exposed.
You can even adjust
exposure compensation
and bracket your shots
+/- 2 EV steps in
1/3-step increments.
Perfect color is a question of balance.
The C-2000 ZOOM has manual white
balance settings that let you compensate
for different lighting conditions – both
indoors and out.
Light it right for best results. Most
photo enthusiasts know when
to use fill flash and red-eye
reduction flash or even flash
off for dramatic effects. The
filmless digital C-2000 ZOOM
offers these as well, plus two
slow synchronization settings
that let you create special light-
ing effects with motion. It also
incorporates a flash sync
connector so
you can add an
external flash or
other lighting
equipment that
make it an
excellent choice
for portrait
photography or
studio work.
With the familiar look and feel of a film
camera, the C-2000 ZOOM offers options
you can use for photography with a flair
that's distinctly your own. Adjust white
balance to embellish colors. Select shutter
speed or specify aperture to capture
motion or change depth of field. Magnify
subject size using the digital telephoto
feature. Add accessory lenses or external
lighting equipment. You can even change
ISO setting and select from five recording
modes that include an uncompressed
mode for the highest picture quality
possible. The
choices are
infinite, but the constant is you. Your vision.
And the camera that lets you express it.
F-stop and shutter speed. A matter of
priorities.
Like many of today’s superior
film cameras, the C-2000 ZOOM filmless
digital camera lets you manually select
f-stop or shutter speed. Choose an f-stop
from f2.0 to f11.0 to alter your depth of
field and the C-2000 ZOOM adjusts shutter
speed accordingly. Specify one of the
27 shutter speeds from one-half to
1/800 sec. and it automatically specifies
f-stop. Either way, you’re in control.
