The D-230 is a small, simple camera that produces big, beautiful photographs. Its compact body makes it easy to bring to the kids' soccer game or accompany you on vacation, while its stylish design and elegant metallic finish keeps it looking as good as the pictures it produces. Those pictures are easy to capture too, thanks to the many simple-to-use features included with the 2-megapixel digital camera including an Olympus autofocus lens and Auto-Connect USB. Auto-Connect USB feature lets you easily connect the D-230 to most any USB-enabled computer for quick and easy downloading of images. No additional software to install. Just drag and drop. Additionally, with one press of a button the D-230 meters the light, adjusts the exposure and fine-tunes the white balance to give you the beautiful pictures you expect from a beautifully designed camera. 2-to-1 image merge mode lets you combine two pictures into one side-by-side image without using a PC and imaging software. Macro mode gets you as close as 4 inches from your subject to capture the fine detail of small objects. With QuickTime Movie mode you can shoot a full minute of video.
