Description — Olympus 9000
The Olympus Stylus 9000 is a point-and-shoot compact camera with a 12MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor. Its Dual IS system — combining lens-based and in-body stabilization — is designed to reduce blur from camera shake. The body is built from a plastic/metal composite, measuring 96 x 60 x 31 mm and weighing 185g, making it an easy travel companion.
The 2.7-inch fixed TFT LCD with 230,000 dots handles all framing and playback duties. Autofocus uses contrast detection with multi-point iESP, spot, and face detection modes. ISO runs from 50 to 1600, with color profiles including Standard, Vivid, and Neutral.
Video records at up to 30fps in 8-bit color. The built-in flash supports Auto, Fill-in, Red-Eye Reduction, On, and Off modes. Storage uses microSD, and the camera connects externally via USB.
Battery life is rated at approximately 250 shots per charge (CIPA standard) using the LI-50B Lithium-Ion cell.
