Camera Overview — Olympus Stylus 400

The Olympus Stylus 400 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 4MP sensor housed in a 1/2.5-inch format. Processed through Olympus's TruePic image processor, it captures stills at a maximum resolution of 2288x1712 pixels with color profile options spanning Standard, High, and Super High. The ISO range runs from 64 to 320, keeping the camera oriented toward well-lit shooting conditions.

Its metal body measures 99 x 56 x 34 mm, weighs 220g, and carries a Water Resistant rating — a meaningful feature for a camera of this size class. The optical tunnel viewfinder gives you a secondary framing option alongside the 1.5-inch TFT LCD display, which resolves at 134,000 dots. Autofocus uses a single-point contrast detection system.

Video is available at up to 480p at 15fps. The built-in flash supports Auto, Red-Eye, Forced, and Off modes. Connectivity includes USB, though no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth are present.

The Li-10B Lithium-Ion battery is rated for approximately 150 shots per charge. Burst mode is supported, though the maximum burst frame rate is 1 frame per second. Overall, this is a straightforward compact camera with a weather-resistant metal build.
