Camera Overview — Olympus Stylus Verve

The Olympus Stylus Verve is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 4MP sensor housed in a 1/2.5-inch format. Its metal all-weather body measures 95 x 56 x 28 mm and weighs just 165g, making it a genuinely pocketable option for everyday shooting. The camera is rated as weather sealed, which sets it apart from many compact cameras of its class and gives it added versatility in variable conditions.

Exposure flexibility is provided through an ISO range of 64 to 500, and autofocus is handled via contrast detection with a choice of single-spot or multi-area iESP focusing. The built-in flash supports Auto, Red-Eye reduction, Fill-in, and Off modes, covering the most common flash scenarios. Images are composed and reviewed on a 1.8-inch TFT LCD display with 134,000-dot resolution.

The camera offers three color profiles — Standard, High, and Super High — and a burst mode capable of 1.3 frames per second. Video recording is available at a maximum resolution of 320x240. Connectivity is handled via USB, and the camera runs on a Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery.

Storage uses a non-standard media format.
