Description — Olympus TG-610
The Olympus Tough TG-610 is a 14MP point-and-shoot compact camera built on a 1/2.3-inch sensor processed by the TruePic III+ engine. The weather-sealed body — constructed from metal and plastic — measures 96 x 65 x 26 mm and weighs just 190g, making it a genuinely portable option for everyday and outdoor use. Image stabilization is handled by a Dual IS system combining lens-based and in-body correction, giving the camera two layers of shake reduction.
The 3.0-inch fixed LCD resolves at 920,000 dots, offering a detailed and bright framing surface. For stills, color profiles include Standard, Vivid, Natural, Portrait, and Magic Filters, while video shooting supports 30fps capture at 8-bit color depth with Standard and Magic Filters color profiles. The built-in flash supports Auto, On, Off, Red-Eye, and Fill-in modes.
ISO sensitivity spans 80 to 1600, and autofocus covers contrast detection, face detection, multi-area, center, and subject tracking modes. Storage uses SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, and the camera connects via USB and Micro HDMI output. Battery life is rated at approximately 160 shots per charge on the LI-50B battery.
