Description — Olympus TG-310
The Olympus Tough TG-310 is a 14MP point-and-shoot compact camera built on a 1/2.3-inch sensor processed by the TruePic III+ image processor. Its weather-sealed, plastic/metal composite ruggedized body measures just 96 x 63 x 23 mm and tips the scales at 155g, keeping it genuinely travel-friendly. The 2.7-inch TFT Color LCD with 230,000 dots serves as your primary composition tool, with no optical viewfinder present.
Autofocus combines Contrast Detection with Face Detection AF — recognizing up to 12 faces simultaneously — and subject tracking is included. Shooting flexibility comes via an ISO range of 80–1600, a built-in flash with five modes (Auto, On, Off, Red-Eye, Fill-in), and Sensor-Shift IBIS for steadier images. Photo scene options include Standard, Magic Filters, Underwater, Panorama, and 3D.
Video records at 30fps in 8-bit color. Storage spans SD, SDHC, SDXC, and internal memory. Connectivity includes USB and HDMI with CEC.
The LI-42B battery delivers approximately 150 shots per charge (CIPA).
