Creativity lies in the palm of your hand
With 7.1 million pixels the Olympus SP-310 is an enthusiast’s dream. Four exposure modes hand the photographer the freedom to experiment whilst a precision 3x zoom lens (equivalent to 38-114mm on a 35mm camera), ensures that crisp and razor-sharp images are produced each and every time.
Featuring a range of focusing options from regular iESP autofocus to spot and multi-spot AF this model can also be focussed manually. In addition a histogram function is available, both in playback mode and in real-time whilst framing, to enable exposure distribution to be checked on the extra-large 6.4cm LCD.
For those looking to extend the camera’s capabilities even further, a whole host of accessories are available including lens converters, an underwater case and flash units that simply clip onto the camera’s hotshoe mount.
More experienced photographers know it is essential to have the freedom to adjust exposure parameters individually. Both the SP-350 and SP-310 enable full manual control, in addition to automatic shooting options, and whether using Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority or the Full Manual mode, the results are only limited by the photographer’s imagination. All results can be recorded in both JPEG and RAW formats.
A range of optional accessories gives the SP-310 a further edge on its competitors. Photographers can greatly extend the cameras’ capabilities with the WCON-07F lens converter for wide 27mm shots or the TCON-17F for 193mm tele views (35mm camera equivalent / usage requires CLA-4 adapter). An underwater case is also available for great underwater photography.
The Olympus SP-310 is ultra-compact and lightweight yet has a robust feel to it and fits snugly in your hand. Perfect for the experienced photographer who needs a compact model in their kitbag it come with an Olympus CR-V3 battery pack that lasts for more than 500 shots*. Both are PictBridge compatible and downloading images to a PC or printer couldn’t be simpler using the USB Hi-Speed AutoConnect provided.
* Under ideal conditions using the included CR-V3 battery pack |
