Olympus D-340R Digital Camera User Manual


 
anything else your imagination conjures up.
But whatever you decide to do, you’ll
always have fun capturing amazing photos
produced with the
ease and familiarity of
a film camera. Which
is why the Olympus
D-340R isn’t just a
great filmless digital
camera. It’s simply a
great camera, period!
The only camera you’ll ever need.
The D-340R is the ideal filmless digital camera
you can turn to for every occasion when you
simply want to point and shoot.
With one of the highest refresh rates
available, the D-340R lets you snap off a
rapid series of shots or capture a sequence
of up to 10 at half-second intervals. Its
heightened sensitivity also means you can
capture images under low light conditions.
And the D-340R is equipped with fully
automatic white balance, focus and flash so
it’s always ready when you are for taking
snapshots at special events and family
vacations – or simply having fun taking
great photographs without needing film.
But that’s not all.
Go ahead. Shoot like the pros.
In addi-
tion to an intelligent flash system that lets
you select automatic, red-eye reduction,
fill-flash or flash-off modes, the D-340R
offers +/- 1-step exposure adjustments so
you can compensate for extreme lighting
conditions. It also provides a selection
of advanced capabilities that allows you
to express your creativity.
Like a macro mode that
lets you shoot as close as
four inches. A digital tele-
wide mode that brings
subjects 2x closer. Plus, a
true panorama mode that
lets you seamlessly stitch
multiple shots together
to create awe-inspiring
super-wide and/or
super-high views – instead
of merely masking a
single film exposure horizontally.
If it doesn’t use film, what does it use?
Unlike digital cameras that use bulky full-
sized floppy disks, the D-340R uses
miniature solid-state SmartMedia
TM
Cards.
Not only are SmartMedia Cards a lot
smaller, they hold a lot more. Plus you can
maximize their capacity by reviewing your
images right away in the built-in LCD and
deleting the ones you don’t want. You can
even enlarge sections of an image 3x
using the built-in image inspection mode
to make certain you’ve captured all the
essential details.
SmartMedia Cards are reusable, so
you’ll probably never need to replace them.
And by keeping extras on hand, you’ll always
have all the storage capacity you need.
What’s next? Filmless prints?
Of
course, no photographic experience would
be complete without prints. And while you
can produce prints from the D-340R using
almost any printer, you’ll feel more at home
with the optional Olympus P-330 Instant
Home Photo Printer.
That’s because the P-330 accepts
SmartMedia Cards, so you
don’t need a computer to
create picture-perfect prints.
Instead, you can connect it
to your TV and view your
shots on the big screen to
select the ones you want.
Then pick the quantity, pick
the paper, push a button and
– presto – out pop prints in
about two minutes.
Don’t forget. It’s digital, too.
Naturally, you can do any-
thing with images once you’ve downloaded
them directly to your computer or transferred
them using the optional FlashPath
TM
Floppy
Disk Adapter, the P-330 Printer’s internal
SmartMedia Card reader for PCs, or a
PCMCIA card reader.
Once they’re in your computer, you can
enhance or manipulate them using the
software that comes with the D-340R. Send
them by e-mail or incorporate them into your
own Web Site. Use them for projects like
customized cards and calendars – or
he Olympus D-340R gives you every-
thing you need to take great photos –
but without the film. Based on the world’s
finest film cameras, it offers an exclusive
all-glass, aspherical lens system in a sleek,
compact body. And for image quality that
often exceeds that of much higher priced
models, it delivers an exceptional 1.3
Megapixel resolution with an uncompressed
shooting mode. What more could you want?
What’s on television? Your photos, when you
connect the D-340R directly to your TV to see
them on the big screen. Or record them on
videotape to save or send to friends and family.

Connect the shots! The D-340R comes with easy-to-use stitching software that lets you stitch
multiple shots together – horizontally or vertically – to create awesome panoramic views.
