Description — Olympus Stylus 1020
The Olympus Stylus 1020 is a point-and-shoot compact camera centered on a 1/2.3-inch, 10MP sensor producing images at up to 3648x2736 pixels. Its Dual IS system — combining both lens-based and in-body stabilization — works to minimize blur during handheld shooting. The camera's 2.7-inch HyperCrystal II TFT LCD with 230,000 dots of resolution makes it easy to compose shots and review images in the field.
ISO sensitivity runs from 80 to 1600, and three JPEG color profiles — Standard, High, and Super High — allow some in-camera creative control. The built-in flash covers five modes including Auto, On, Off, Red-Eye Reduction, and Fill-in, though no external flash support is offered. Video recording is available at up to 480p at 30fps.
Housed in a metal body measuring 99 x 56 x 25 mm and weighing just 175g, the Stylus 1020 is designed for portability. The LI-50B battery is rated for approximately 240 shots per charge (CIPA standard), and connectivity includes USB for wired file transfer.
