Camera Overview — Olympus Stylus 1s

The Olympus Stylus 1s is a compact digital camera built around a 1/1.7-inch sensor with 12MP resolution, powered by the TruePic VI image processor. The sensor supports an ISO range of 100 to 12800, giving shooters a reasonable spread of sensitivity options across varied lighting conditions. The camera features a fixed lens mount, making it a true all-in-one device.

Optical image stabilization (OIS) is built in, helping to reduce camera shake without relying on digital processing. For composing shots, the camera offers both a 3.0-inch tilting touchscreen LCD with 1.04 million dots of resolution and an electronic viewfinder running at 60Hz with 1,440k dots — a combination that gives flexibility whether you're shooting at arm's length or with the camera raised to your eye. Stills top out at 3968x2976 pixels with burst shooting available at up to 7 frames per second.

Color profiles for photos include Standard, Vivid, and Muted. On the video side, the Stylus 1s captures up to 1080p at 30fps or 24fps in 8-bit with a Standard color profile. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi and USB, and the camera accepts SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards.

The metal and plastic body measures 116 x 87 x 57 mm and weighs 402g, and the Lithium-Ion battery is rated for approximately 300 shots per charge.

28–300mm Equivalent Zoom: The built-in fixed lens covers a wide focal range from wide-angle to telephoto, making it a versatile all-in-one travel camera.

Optical Image Stabilization: Built-in OIS reduces camera shake during handheld shooting without the quality trade-offs associated with digital stabilization.

1,440k-Dot Electronic Viewfinder: A high-resolution EVF running at 60Hz refresh rate provides a clear, smooth composing option in bright outdoor conditions.

Tilting Touchscreen LCD: The 3.0-inch, 1.04 million-dot touchscreen tilts to make low-angle and overhead framing significantly easier.
