Camera Overview — Olympus SH-25MR

The Olympus SH-25MR is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor paired with the iHS Technology image processor, which incorporates a TruePic engine for handling image rendering. The ISO range runs from 80 to 6400, giving shooters a reasonable spread of sensitivity options in varying light conditions. The camera features a 3.0-inch TFT LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 460,000 dots, making it straightforward to navigate menus and frame shots.

There is no optical viewfinder, so the display serves as the sole framing method. Autofocus relies on contrast detection with a single focus point, though subject tracking is supported. For stills, the maximum resolution output is 4608x3456 pixels, and a burst mode capable of up to 10 frames per second is available.

Six color profiles are on offer — Standard, Vivid, Natural, Portrait, Monotone, and Custom. Video tops out at 1080p at up to 60fps, recorded in 8-bit with a Standard color profile. Dual image stabilization combines lens-based and in-body systems.

The body is constructed from a plastic and metal composite, measures 109.2 x 61.8 x 30.6 mm, and weighs 208g. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and connectivity includes USB and Micro HDMI output. The built-in pop-up flash supports red-eye reduction, fill-in, and slow sync modes.
