The new C-310 ZOOM from Olympus is easy to use and makes discovering digital photography a real joy. The compact model weighs only 150g without batteries. It boasts 3.2 megapixel resolution and 3x optical zoom lens (equivalent 38 – 114mm on 35mm camera). What’s more, even experienced photographers can enjoy features such as the movie recording function and Super Macro Mode for close-up shots. The C-310 ZOOM is available from March 2004, RRP ฃ149.99 (inc VAT). For stockist information call freephone 0800 072 0070 or visit www.olympus.co.uk.

The C-310 ZOOM incorporates a host of features that make picture taking easy and fast. Users can choose from five special scene programmes for shooting in a wide variety of locations and conditions. The programmes are Portrait, Self Portrait, Night Scene, Landscape and Landscape with Portrait.
