The Olympus AZ-210 Superzoom (Infinity 210 and IZM210) is a compact camera from the 90s. It has a zoom lens built into it. The zoom range goes from 38-76 mm.
Except for the choice between different modes for the built-in flash, there are no adjustment options. Aperture and shutter speed are set automatically by the camera. Thus, the camera from the Japanese manufacturer is well suited for snapshots. It is also aimed primarily at amateurs.
Two buttons on the front of the camera are used to adjust the zoom. A display on the top shows the number of pictures taken. After each shot, the camera automatically rewinds.
