Although the camera's images may not be stellar, the flash coverage is good, and for the most part, the images we shot indoors were evenly and properly exposed. The built-in flash automatically pops up when you slide open the protective lens barrier, which is a welcome new feature, freeing you from the bother of manually snapping the flash into its ready position. But until you get some new, preferably lithium-ion or nickel-metal-hydride batteries to replace the short-lived AA alkalines that come with the camera, you're better off limiting your use of the flash.

| The Olympus D-510 Zoom did reasonably well for a budget digicam, but it failed to truly impress our jury. Its indoor photos were slightly muted in color and were less than sharp. The outdoor photos taken with the D-510 Zoom showed a bit more detail and color saturation but suffered from some of the same problems as the indoor photos. |
