Description — Olympus Stylus 830
The Olympus Stylus 830 is a compact point-and-shoot camera centered on an 8MP sensor measuring 1/2.3 inch, processed by the Olympus TruePic engine for images up to 3264x2448 pixels. Three color profiles — Standard, High, and Super High — let you dial in your preferred output look. Sensor-shift IBIS works to counter camera shake during handheld shooting, while the contrast-detection autofocus system with multiple zones handles a wide range of subjects. When the action picks up, burst mode delivers up to 7 frames per second.
The 2.5-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots handles all framing and playback duties. ISO sensitivity runs from 80 to 1600, and the manual-only flash system puts firing control directly in your hands. The metal body measures 100 x 55 x 24 mm and weighs just 165g, with a dust-resistant finish for everyday durability.
Video records at up to 480p at 30fps in 8-bit color. The proprietary lithium-ion battery is rated for approximately 250 shots per charge, and USB connectivity handles data transfer.
