The compact cameras of the 2000s always used the EFL. My Olympus C-7070 was advertised as having a 27-110mm lens, not a 5.7-22.9mm lens. Beginner camera, consumer level, not as advanced or professional, so EFL is less confusing.
Per DPreview the actual focal length is on the lens.

Yeah, I know. Every compact camera has the actual focal length printed on the body somewhere.
I was referring to marketing. It was advertised as a "Wide Zoom" lens, it is in the name of the camera, it is one of the defining features of the camera, wider than other compact cameras at that time. But the 5.7mm focal length is not mentioned anywhere in the announcement, nor is it listed in specs on the cameras DPReview page. The specs only show the EFL, not the actual focal length.
