Description — Olympus Stylus 300
The Olympus Stylus 300 is a point-and-shoot compact camera featuring a 3MP sensor with a 1/2.5-inch sensor size, delivering a maximum image resolution of 2048x1536 pixels with sRGB color output. Its water-resistant metal body — measuring 99 x 56 x 34 mm and weighing 220g — sets it apart from purely plastic competitors in its class, offering meaningful protection for everyday outdoor shooting. The 1.5-inch TFT LCD with 134,000 dots handles image review and menu access, complemented by an optical real-image viewfinder for an alternative framing method.
Autofocus uses a contrast detection system with single-area coverage. The ISO 80–320 range keeps the camera best suited to well-lit environments. The built-in flash offers Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Fill, and Off modes.
Connectivity is handled via USB, and the camera is powered by the Olympus LI-10B/LI-12B Li-ion battery, rated for approximately 220 shots per charge under CIPA conditions. Video recording is available at 15fps in 8-bit color.
