Source-derived summary

The Olympus C-3000 Zoom is a self-contained color digital camera system, produced by the Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.

Features

The C-3000 Zoom offers a 3× optical zoom lens, support for SmartMedia storage, and a 3.3 megapixel, 1/1.8-inch CCD image sensor. The camera supports automatic "point-and-shoot" type photography (P Setting), as well as three manual modes (S - Shutter Priority, A - Aperture Priority, and M - Fully Manual). It supports lighting color correction (Flash, Sunlight, Clouds, Incandescent, Fluorescent, and Automatic). The camera supports an external flash via a proprietary connector and bracket, however it does not provide a hotshoe on the camera. The camera may be operated conventionally, fired via a remote control, fired by time delay, or fired-by-wire via software such as Cam2Com [1]. The camera features F-Stop settings ranging from F2.8 to F11, and exposure settings from 1/800 to 16 seconds. The camera is powered by 4 AA alkaline batteries, 4 AA rechargeable batteries (NiMH) or 2 CR-V3 primary batteries.

One can take photos in a SHQ (Super High Quality) mode. It offers QuickTime Movie capture at 15 fps with sound.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Olympus C-3000 Zoom” as digital camera model. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current 183-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Olympus, C-3000 and Zoom can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as digital camera model. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 28, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7089213. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
