The camera is in good condition with some cosmetic wear (see photos) and a somewhat dusty viewfinder (this doesn't affect photos). We verified the film plane focus accuracy on an autocollimator (it showed excellent sharpness for a zoom point-and-shoot) and its autoexposure accuracy (also very good). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExample photos \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo give you an idea of the camera's performance, here are some photos taken by other people using this model of camera: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3351433-olympus-az-300-superzoom\/photos\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.lomography.com\/cameras\/3351433-olympus-az-300-superzoom\/photos\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cameramanuals.org\/olympus_pdf\/olympus_infinity_super_zoom_300.pdf\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.cameramanuals.org\/olympus_pdf\/olympus_infinity_super_zoom_300.pdf\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Full-automatic 35mm autofocus lens-shutter camera with built-in Zoom lens\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm format: 35mm standard DX coded film (24 × 36mm)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens: Olympus 38-105mm F4.5-6 lens with 12 elements in 11 groups\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShutter: Programmed electronic shutter\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViewfinder: Kepler type 0.46-1.2x bright frame zoom-finder (with autofocus frame, AF indicator, flash indicator, spot metering indicator. macro indicator)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParallax compensation system in macro photography\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinder view-field: 85% of actual picture field\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocusing: Passive autofocus system with focus lock\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocusing range: 1.3m(4.3ft)- ∞ (infinitv); 0.8m(2.6ft) - 1.3m(4.3ft) in macro photography\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure control: Automatic exposure control with programmed electronic shutter (Center-weighted average light metering, switchable to spot metering)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto exposure range: WIDE: EV3.4(F4.5,2 sec.) - EVI7(F16, 1 \/ 500 sec.); TELE: EV4.4( F6, 2 sec.) - EVI7(F18.4. 1\/400 sec.)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure compensation: ‡1.5EV Compensation possible (1 \/ 2 step)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure counter: Progressive type, displayed in LCD panel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-timer: Electronic self-timer with 12 sec. delay\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm speed range: Automatic setting with DX coded film ISO 25-3200 with color negative film (Actual setting at 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200.
