Yamamoto-san,
You must have been spending all afternoon lookng at
the spec. Since I'm in the middle of the project,
I can't spend much time translating. I believe
someone posted the spec in English at
http://photo.askey.net
However, I did find some inaccurrate information at
this site.
White balance overide is 4, not 5.
According to the olympus.co.jp website,
the white balance can be manually set
to daylight, overcast, incandescent,
fluorescent lights, in addition to
full auto ttl exposure.
Digital tele mode has three modes at
1.6x, 2.0x, 2.5x, not only 2.5x.
Oly also says in addition to the 3x
optical magnification, the maximum
of 7.5x could be achieved.
Focus range
0.8m ~ infinity : standard mode
0.2m ~ 0.8m : macro mode
No manual focus, but there are two
pre-determined focusing ranges:
at 2.5m and at infinity.
Continuous/burst: ~2fps
with HQ mode: 5 frames
SQ mode: XGA=30 frames
" VGA= more than 45 frames
Battery: AA size NiH, Alkaline, Lithum, or NiCd, 4 cells
Cannot use manganese (Mn) batteries
Weight: 305g (without batteries/memory card)
Regards,
Jim Terazawa
