Olympus C-2100UZ User Manual

Who do you wish you could get closer to? Your soccer star kids? A 375-lb. offensive lineman? A family of

squirrels? Well, no need to lug a 15-lb., 3 ft., f2.8 telephoto lens around. Just sling the Olympus C-2100 Ultra

Zoom over your shoulder, and away you go. The C-2100 Ultra Zoom features a 10x optical zoom (equivalent

to 38 – 380mm) and 2.7x digital zoom, to bring you the equivalent of 1080 mm closer to the action. Optical

stabilization ensures your pictures are sharp and jitter-free. And 2.1 million megapixels make for exceptionally

clear 8" x 10" enlargements. Take a look at the C-2100 Ultra Zoom. If you’re looking for perfection in a full-

featured zoom camera, you won’t get any closer.
