Camera Overview — Olympus Stylus 830

The Olympus Stylus 830 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around an 8MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor paired with the Olympus TruePic image processor. It produces images at a maximum resolution of 3264x2448 pixels and offers three color profile options — Standard, High, and Super High — giving shooters a degree of control over output rendering without diving into complex menus. The camera features sensor-shift in-body image stabilization (IBIS), which works to reduce camera shake without relying on digital IS.

A contrast-detection autofocus system with multiple zones handles focusing duties across a range of shooting situations. The 2.5-inch fixed LCD display with 230,000 dots serves as the primary framing and review interface, as there is no viewfinder. For those moments when action picks up, a burst mode capable of up to 7 frames per second keeps fast subjects in reach.

The flash system is manual only, giving the photographer direct control over flash firing. Built from metal, the body measures 100 x 55 x 24 mm and weighs 165g, making it genuinely pocketable. It also carries a dust-resistant body design, adding a layer of durability for everyday carry.

The proprietary lithium-ion battery is rated for approximately 250 shots per charge. USB connectivity is supported, while Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not present.
