High Resolution Digital Photography is a blast. A great camera and great software are all you need to do just about anything with images. This camera takes 2048x1536 images at max resolution and a variety of alternative sized images and formats - INCLUDING: Full motion video in .MOV format with sound. Below is the on-line guide to my camera, I use this when I'm in a hurry to configure my settings - it's really handy and if you are interested in high end cameras, this should be helpful to you

The C-3000Z offers a large number of image sizes in a variety of formats. Two basic image file formats are available: TIFF(Exif) for uncompressed images and JPEG (Exif) for compressed images. 3 distinct levels of compression can also be used: SHQ, HQ, SQ. These can be organized as:

• 2048 x 1536 (TIFF, SHQ, HQ)
• 1600 x 1200 (TIFF, SQ1)
• 1280 x 960 (TIFF, SQ1)
• 1024 x 768 (TIFF, SQ2)
• 640 x 480 (TIFF, SQ2)

Meanwhile, the menus are used to control:

• Drive: for the Sequence mode, Self timer or remote control, Auto Bracketing.
• White balance: Auto, Daylight, Cloud, Tungsten, or Fluorescent.
• ISO: Auto, 100, 200, 400 ISO.
• Flash exposure compensation: ±2EV in 1/3 EV increments.
• Slow flash synch: Slow 1 (first curtain flash), Slow 2 (second curtain flash).
• External Flash: using the camera's flash synchronization socket and the exclusive grip and Olympus FL-40 flash unit, the camera can be set to use both the built-in flash and external flash, or the external flash exclusively. If another brand flash is used the built-in flash is disabled.
• Digital zoom: 1.6X to 2.5X (which can produce coarse images).
• Function: calls up digital effects such as Sepia, Black & White, White Board (no greyscale), Black Board (no greyscale inverted B&W).
• ISO selection: Auto, 100, 200, 400 (100 is the default)
• Picture effects: black and white, sepia. Additionally, blackboard and whiteboard settings can be used to record text.
• Sound: Selects sound recording immediately after the capture of a still image (sound file in WAV format).
• Panorama: allows recording panoramas by making sure each image overlaps part of the previous one, by the use of screen guides. This mode only works if Olympus brand SmartMedia cards are used.
• Setup: controls sharpness, TIFF settings, SQ settings, Beep sound, Full Time AF, Rec View, File numbering, Brightness, Date/Time and Distance units used (metres/feet).
• Image Quality: select from TIFF, SHQ, HQ, SQ1, or SQ2.
• A/S/M Mode: used to select the default mode (Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority or Manual) when the Mode Dial is moved to the A/S/M position.

Next to it, a solid door covers the other connections of the C-3000Z: one for the AC adapter, one for the USB/Serial port, and last an A/V (mono audio and video) connection.

Exposure compensation: ±2EV in 1/3 EV increments, is done simply by pressing the right or left arrows of the Jog Dial while the LCD screen is on. The compensation is then indicated in the upper right corner.

There are also 2 metering modes: Digital ESP pattern and Spot, which is the first option with the Spot/Macro mode button. Pressing the button 3 times enables the combination of Spot metering and Macro mode.

Equipped with the 8MB SmartMedia card supplied with the camera, the C-3000Z is incapable of capturing an uncompressed TIFF image at its highest resolution. Yet, the SHQ JPEG mode is able to yield excellent results, results that are very difficult to tell apart from those of an uncompressed format. This excellent image quality is due in part to the fact that the compression in SHQ mode is limited to 1/4, yielding in an image that has no visible compression artefacts.

In general, the camera's ESP metering system is very good, although the latter seems similar to a centre-weighted system, and requires the user to note high and low lights contained in the frame.
