The camera is a discontinued Olympus C-725.
As for the settings I just put it on auto and zoom all the way out. It has 8X zoom. I do have to prop my arms on something because if I don't they pics are really blurry LOL.

Kewl...I have an Olympus C- 725 Ultra Zoom. I forget how much zoom that means though. :lol: But I do find that if I move the pics are blurry to. Keep saying I need a tripod but have yet to buy one.

Great pics u took though!
