OLYMPUS CAMEDIA C-180

The Olympus C-180
Attractively priced and easy-to-use with 5.1 million pixels

The extremely compact Olympus C-180 makes taking photos a breeze. Featuring a “one button, one function” design and choice of seven scene programmes, the C-180 is easy-to-use and delivers perfect results every time. Utilising Olympus’ TruePic TURBO image processor and featuring an accurate autofocus, the C-180 never fails to produce consistently high-quality images. Pictures are stored in the internal 14MB memory or onto an optional xD-Picture Card and a movie recording function rounds off the impressive range of features.

The new C-180 includes a whole host of functions designed to make taking high-quality photos exceedingly straightforward. Finding the way around the camera’s features is further simplified by its transparent “one button, one function” design principle. Meanwhile, the combination of 5.1 million pixel resolution, a bright autofocus lens and TruePic TURBO advanced image processor guarantee first-class picture results. Close-ups are also possible thanks to the 4x digital zoom.
Even complete beginners will have no problems producing stunning results. The C-180 offers a wide range of scene programmes and provides a virtual help function to take the guesswork out of operating the camera. Ease of use is further enhanced by an especially comprehensible six-language menu. Additional languages are available as downloads from the internet.

This model boasts a 3.8cm LCD monitor, enabling the easy framing and reviewing of photos and movies. Results are saved to the 14MB internal memory or onto optional xD-Picture Cards, which are available in capacities of up to 1GB – enough for hundreds of photos. And as you would expect from such a user-friendly camera, obtaining prints of images involves nothing further than a simple one-step procedure. Thanks to PictBridge support, the need for a computer has become a thing of the past. To enjoy high-quality printouts, you need only connect the camera directly to a compatible printer, such as the Olympus P-10.

To power the C-180, users have the choice between one CRV-3 cell or two AA-size batteries, greatly adding to convenience as there’s no need to worry about running out of power in out-of-the-way places where specialised batteries or a recharging unit are not available.
