Description — Olympus SP 800 UZ
The Olympus SP 800 UZ is a point-and-shoot camera centered on a 14MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format, processed by the TruePic III image processor. Maximum photo resolution reaches 4288x3216 pixels, and the camera supports four color profiles: Standard, Vivid, Neutral, and Monochrome. The ISO range runs from 64 to 3200, and burst shooting is available at up to 10fps.
Image stabilization is handled by a sensor-shift (IBIS) system with an additional digital IS mode. Autofocus relies on contrast detection and face detection AF across 143 focus points, with subject tracking enabled. Video records at up to 720p at 30fps in 8-bit color.
Composition and playback happen on the 3.0-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots of resolution — there is no viewfinder. A built-in pop-up flash handles close-range fill lighting. The plastic body measures 110 x 90 x 91 mm and weighs 455g.
Connectivity includes USB and Micro HDMI output. The LI-50B lithium-ion battery yields approximately 200 shots per charge.
