One camera.
Many points of view.
Designed in the same style as Olympus’ most popular film
cameras, the 1.3 megapixel D-450 ZOOM sets the new
gold standard in affordable filmless digital photography.
At its heart, is an all-glass aspherical lens system with
auto focus, exposure and white balance, as well as 2
quick focus settings at 8 feet and infinity. The 3x Olympus
zoom lens with electronic TTL viewing provides wide,
normal and portrait length telephoto, so you’ll get sharp,
well-exposed shots without having to move to get a
good composition. Its telephoto length is up to105 mm,
and to bring subjects even closer, you can digitally
double the focal length inside the camera at any zoom
setting. Adding to the versatility is a macro mode
which lets you
shoot a subject from
just 4 inches away.
And a streamlined
chassis makes it
easy to carry and
use, while a stream-
lined price makes
it easy to afford.
The D-450 ZOOM takes the worry out of
getting close with its macro mode setting.
35mm (full wide)
105mm (full telephoto)
210mm (full telephoto +
2x digital/telephoto)

Horizontally or vertically, you can take multiple shots that get stitched.
Thanks to its rapid refresh rate, it’s
easy to click off a series of shots as
quickly as you can compose and shoot.
The ultimate shooting machine.
From the first moment you take this little number out for a
spin, you’ll know you’re holding one serious camera. For
instance, instead of merely masking a single film
exposure the way some cameras do, the D-450 ZOOM’s
true panorama mode lets you seamlessly stitch multiple
shots together to create awe-inspiring super-wide and
super-high views. Of course, having the fastest refresh
rate of any camera in its class doesn’t hurt either, so you
can fire off shots one right after another or automatically
snap off a series of up to 10 shots in a row. Another
important distinction of the D-450 ZOOM is its 114,000
pixel LCD, which gives you a glare-free view of your
images for preview or playback regardless of the angle
you’re viewing them from. Whether you’re standing off to
the side, or holding the camera over your head, you’re
guaranteed to always have a clear image of your subject.
You’ll always have a clear view no matter how
you look at the Olympus easy viewing LCD.

They’ll call you a
photographic magician.
With just the right mix of automatic and manual features
up its sleeve, the D-450 ZOOM gives you the power to do
some pretty amazing stuff. ISO is auto or selectable at
160, 320, and 640 — a must for shooting in low light. You
can adjust exposure plus or minus two steps in half-step
increments. Or tweak the white balance and compensate
for fluorescent or incandescent lighting and sunny or
overcast conditions. There’s also a choice of automatic
flash in low light and back-lit conditions, “red-eye”
reduction, fill flash or flash off selections with the
intelligent flash system to create the perfect illumination.
The Slow sync
feature enables
you to achieve
special effects with
or without red-eye
reduction.
A white balance
setting takes that
annoying green tint
out of fluorescent-lit
interior shots.
Set the white balance
for tungsten to take
the yellow out of
incandescent lighting.

There’s no place like home for
filmless photo printing.
When you get wired to the optional Olympus P-330
Instant Photo Printer, that’s when the fun really begins.
The P-330 connects directly to
your TV, VCR, camcorder or
digital camera to produce
photo-quality prints of any
digital image or video still. You don’t even need
a computer. All you have to do is sit back, preview your
digital shots right on your TV
screen, then push the print
button to create beautiful
photo-quality prints in just two
minutes flat. (Just
try doing that with
a traditional film
camera.) You can
make single or
multiple prints on
plain, adhesive-
backed or UV coated
paper, or get really
creative and produce
miniature photo
stickers, customized
labels or postcards.
It’s like having a one-
hour photo lab right
in your own living
room. The only
difference is, it’s 58
minutes faster.
The P-330 Instant Photo
Printer lets you make as
many prints as you want —
wherever you want —
whenever you want.
You can even make blur-free
photos of stills from a camcorder
or videotape with the P-330.

This camera’s got connections.
Not only does the D-450 ZOOM
connect directly to your computer for
downloading images, you also have a
choice of several other ways to
connect, thanks to removable
SmartMedia.™ An 8 MB SmartMedia
memory card that holds up to 122
images comes with the D-450 ZOOM
(higher capacities are available), all
of which download directly to the
optional P-330 Instant Photo Printer which also connects
to your computer. In addition, you can download images
to a MAC or PC, desktop or laptop, by inserting SmartMedia
into the optional FlashPath™ floppy disk adapter or
PCMCIA card reader. And since both the D-450 ZOOM
and the P-330 Printer connect to a TV, you can view all
your shots anytime on the big screen. Now that’s
connected! The D-450 ZOOM also comes with easy-to-use
software that lets you manipulate and enhance your
images. After that, you can send them by e-mail, post
them on the Internet, create personalized
cards and calendars or use them to
make multimedia presentations.
What you do is up to you. And the
D-450 ZOOM makes it all possible.
The optional PCMCIA card reader
or FlashPath adapter (not shown)
make it easy to download images
to your computer.
Removable, reusable
SmartMedia cards are
smaller, yet hold a lot
more than big, bulky
floppy disks. Get with it!
