Description — Olympus Stylus 550WP
The Olympus Stylus 550WP is a water-resistant point-and-shoot camera designed for casual shooters who want durability without sacrificing portability. Its 10MP sensor produces images at up to 3648x2736 pixels, and the 1/2.3-inch sensor size keeps the overall body impressively slim at 94 x 62 x 22 mm and just 167g. The 2.5-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots serves as the sole composition and playback tool, as there is no optical viewfinder.
Autofocus combines contrast detection with face detection AF for easier portrait capture. ISO flexibility runs from 64 to 1600, and the built-in flash covers five modes including Auto, Fill-in, and Red-Eye Reduction. For storage, the camera accepts microSD cards and includes internal storage.
Video recording reaches 480p at 30fps in 8-bit color. The LI-42B battery is rated for approximately 220 shots per charge. Connectivity is handled via USB, with no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on board.
