Camera Overview — Olympus SP-610UZ

The Olympus SP-610UZ is a 14MP point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 1/2.3-inch sensor and powered by the TruePic III image processor. It covers an ISO range of 80 to 3200, giving shooters flexibility across a range of lighting situations. The camera's autofocus system relies on Contrast Detection and Face Detection AF with 11 focus points and subject tracking, making it straightforward to keep moving subjects sharp.

Image stabilization is handled by a Dual IS system combining both lens-based and in-body stabilization, which helps reduce blur during handheld shooting. Video recording tops out at 720p at 30fps, with color profile options including Standard and Magic Filters. The 3.0-inch TFT Color LCD display offers 230,000 dots of resolution for composing and reviewing shots.

Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and the camera connects to external devices via USB and Mini HDMI. One practical highlight is the battery system: the SP-610UZ runs on 4 x AA batteries — Alkaline, NiMH, or Lithium — rated for approximately 350 shots per charge on Alkaline AAs, which means finding replacement power on the road is straightforward. The built-in flash covers a range of up to 6.3 m with modes including Auto, On, Off, Red-Eye, and Fill-in.

The plastic body measures 107 x 73 x 73 mm and weighs 405 g, with no weather sealing.
