Camera Overview — Olympus TG-310

The Olympus Tough TG-310 is a rugged point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 14MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by the TruePic III+ image processor. Designed for demanding conditions, the TG-310 carries weather sealing as part of the Tough series lineup, housed in a plastic/metal composite ruggedized body that measures 96 x 63 x 23 mm and weighs just 155g — making it genuinely pocketable for outdoor use.

The camera features a 2.7-inch TFT Color LCD display with 230,000 dots for composing shots, and an autofocus system combining Contrast Detection with Face Detection AF capable of tracking up to 12 faces simultaneously, along with subject tracking. Image stabilization is handled via a Sensor-Shift (IBIS) system. ISO sensitivity runs from 80 to 1600, and a built-in flash covers Auto, On, Off, Red-Eye, and Fill-in modes. Storage options include SD, SDHC, SDXC cards as well as internal storage, and connectivity includes USB and HDMI output with CEC support. Video is captured at up to 30fps in 8-bit color. The LI-42B battery is rated for approximately 150 shots per charge under CIPA standards. Color modes for both photo and video include Standard and Magic Filters, with additional photo options for Underwater, Panorama, and 3D shooting.
