Description — Olympus Tough 6000
The Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 is a point-and-shoot compact camera featuring a 10MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor enclosed in a water-resistant body made of metal and plastic. At just 170g and 95 x 63 x 22 mm, it's genuinely pocketable. The 2.7-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots handles all framing duties, and the contrast detection autofocus system works from a single focus point.
ISO flexibility runs from 50 to 1600, and three color profiles — Standard, Vivid, and Neutral — let you tailor the look of your stills in-camera. Video is captured at up to 30fps in 8-bit color. The built-in flash covers five modes including Auto, Fill-in, Red-Eye Reduction, On, and Off.
Image stabilization is Digital/Electronic IS, available in both in-body and digital forms. Storage options include microSD and internal storage, and the camera connects to a computer via USB. The Olympus LI-50B Lithium-Ion battery is rated for approximately 200 shots per charge (CIPA standard).
