See the Olympus D Zoom for a higher-end model with zoom. The D does provide a Macro switch just below the lens though, which changes the focus for subjects as close as 10 inches. As with the previous D, exposure control on the D is very straightforward, since the camera operates under automatic exposure at all times. Opening the clamshell cover activates the camera and puts it in shooting mode, so it's very quick on the draw.
As mentioned above, the focus-free lens also means there's very little delay from the time you press down on the Shutter button to the time the shutter actually fires, a common limitation among digicams. The majority of exposure options are controlled through the multi-page, on-screen menu system, but Olympus redesigned the menu system on the D for faster navigation. The first menu screen actually features three shortcuts to the camera's Drive, Image Size, and Function options, as well as the link to the four-page Record menu where the remaining exposure adjustments and camera settings are made.
Aperture and shutter speed are automatically determined, but the user can control the Exposure Compensation to lighten or darken the image , White Balance to adjust the color , Metering to read light from the whole frame or just the center , and Flash modes.
The D's built-in flash is effective to approximately eight feet 2. There's also a Slow Sync setting for flash shots that preserve background detail in "twilight" light levels. Dim but not dark.
Along with simplicity and portability, the D also offers some interesting and fun creative options. For example, a Movie mode records QuickTime movies without sound , a great way to remember special moments.
A Self-Timer mode lets you mount the camera on a tripod, trip the Shutter button, and zip around front to take your place in a group photo. There's also a Continuous Shooting option that works much like a motor drive on professional 35mm cameras. You can capture three or more high-quality images in quick succession by holding down the Shutter button.
