Description — Olympus VR-310
The Olympus VR-310 is a point-and-shoot compact camera equipped with a 14MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor capable of capturing stills at up to 4288x3216 pixels. Video recording is supported at 720p/30fps. For steadier shots, the camera features a Dual IS system that combines both lens-based and in-body stabilization, with digital IS also on board.
Autofocus relies on contrast detection, with face detection AF and subject tracking available to help with portraits and moving subjects. The 3.0-inch fixed LCD with 230,400 dots serves as the sole framing and review screen. Shooters can choose from four color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Sepia, and Black & White — for in-camera creative adjustments.
The ISO 80–1600 range covers standard lighting scenarios. Storage uses SD and SDHC cards, and the camera connects via USB. Weighing just 141g with a 101 x 58 x 29 mm plastic body, the VR-310 is easy to carry anywhere.
A built-in flash is included, though there is no weather sealing, viewfinder, or wireless connectivity.
