Description — Olympus TG-630 iHS
The Olympus Tough TG-630 iHS is a compact point-and-shoot camera engineered for everyday adventure. Its 12MP sensor paired with the TruePic VI image processor sits in a 1/2.3-inch format, covering an ISO range of 100 to 6400. The body is built from polycarbonate plastic with metal reinforcement and carries a water-resistant rating, while remaining compact at 98.2 x 65.8 x 22.8 mm and just 167g.
A Sensor-Shift (IBIS) system handles image stabilization, and the autofocus combines Contrast Detection with Face Detection AF and subject tracking for versatile shooting. The 3.0-inch Fixed LCD at 460,000 dots is the sole framing tool. Six color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Natural, Muted, Portrait, and Monochrome — are available for stills, while video supports both 30fps and 120fps at 8-bit depth.
Burst shooting tops out at 5fps, and storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards. Connectivity includes USB and Micro HDMI output, and the built-in flash offers Auto, On, Off, and Red-Eye Reduction modes. The LI-50B battery is rated for approximately 300 shots per charge.
