Olympus Stylus 1030 SW

Olympus offers travelers who do not want to deal with their digicam with kid gloves, 10.1 megapixel Stylus 1030 SW, waterproof, freezing-proof, crush strength-certificate, and dust from the camera, which promises to be the "toughest point-and-shoot all over the world." Durable build, rich selection of scene modes and fast performance, this camera has almost all of the active photographer would want to. But its price — and active audience — we wish it was the optical image stabilization for taking blur free shots.

1030 SW metal body pulls double duty's rugged mountainous terrain with armor and a trendy accessory.6.4 ounces of this camera is about heavy than most point-and-shoots, despite its metal casing, it can handle from dust and dirt covered port holes and three small screws, press and hold the front plate that appears in black, silver and green.

We had our work cut out for us, when it became available through its paces 1030 SW: IT shall be capable of withstanding a 6.6 foot drops, up to 33 feet of water, the temperatures set as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit, and up to 220 pounds of pressure immersion. For those who do not own the testing, the camera is on the screen with a pressure gauge for the readiness for height and pressure.

2.7-inch LCD to the right the zoom button has two; scroll wheel, which includes eight spaces;part of a navigational watch, on the expiry of a four-way pad buttons in Flash, which is double the brightness of the self-timer, macro, and buttons;and dedicated to a menu, playback, delete, and options buttons. Power and shutter buttons are side by side at the top of the chassis. In addition, it is the beginning of the lock of the liquid crystal display is clear, even outdoors. If it is not its 0.8 cm thick Chunky shape, this overall Look like other point-and-shoot.

1030 SW menus are dead-simple to go to: Press menu to display and exit the menus and the new settings, click OK, it took some getting. Although it is used, we change such as scene modes requires selecting the SCN scroll wheel would be lost, instead of the options menu.

To begin, we can test the 1030 SW underwater performance by dropping it in the bathtub. We have been able to easily select the underwater Snapshot status and settings when you embed. When we took the camera dried quickly and continued with works normally.

Next, we went down the camera almost 6.5 feet of hard Lino page. Impact on leave from the beginning of the metal to the chassis side-members or nary LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD), and we have been able to use normally afterward.

Since we cannot fully avalanche probe our fingers on the snap-in, the next best way to test the 1030 SW pressure restrictions had it bears. When we had to stand for 6-Ounce camera 215 pound man, have we heard disconcerting crack.Not to worry: liquid crystal display remained pure and we have been able to stream it without any problems.

After making sure our freezer did Kylmempiä than 14 degrees, we put the camera in the station (Olympus says, there is no limit to how long the camera can stay 14 degrees in the environment) for 30 minutes. We had again, the possibility of 1030 SW off, when we returned it to room temperature. In addition, condensation, which was developed by the chassis quickly disappeared. [1] [2] the camera was still uncomfortably cold touch-a-half hours at room temperature, even after the end of the sitting.

All of our test shots showed the crisp, detailed and good lighting. In particular, the bright Faces, was examined, backgrounds. Although most of our shots showed the exact colours, red and pink sometimes seemed to paler or large screen in a Member State other than the person grayer. More often than not, we were pleased.

1030 SW performs respectably small light: from 80-400 ISO levels, our pictures exhibited detail, including the shine of some areas of the furniture and the dust of the number of texture decent tchotchkes.800 Level however, Flash began as from our delicately lit shots. using the camera's Shadow amendment also enhances the low light photos: shot taken someone wrinkly outfit looked smoother, lighter and dim when we enable this functionality.

Although some of our pictures taken to move the Auto mode, other topics were clearly showed the motion blur.Selecting the Digital Image stabilisation mode from scroll wheel movement, we can compensate for the helped; our pictures move topics at the same time, I looked at the sharp, such as walking in the sampling plan as additional samples.However, this expensive Tape — and one that is designed for active use — our optical picture stabilization wait.Unfortunately, may, at the same time, select a Digital Image stabilisation mode, unison for detailed scene mode, such as the candlelight.

One of our favorite 1030 SW properties, see the Guide mode, which displays amateur photographers would like to make a better common things — to reduce red-eye, describes the topics and blur in the background.Select one of the following options, and the camera will automatically change its settings.In addition, the 1030 SW will manually adjust the exposure. the flat-rate exposure of the easy button to see the live view, you'll notice that the grid preview for each type of Regulation shall submit to the shot.

The camera is also 24 scene modes, and everyone has an explanation of the screen, and stored in the sample pictures, show the kinds of shots taken with each in the first place, we tried. Underwater Snapshot mode, which is ideal for pools or shallower basin. [1] [2] Although in our bathtub seemed a hazy yellow Live View mode, our underwater shots bathtub toys was bright and accurately lit — not to mention the smoothness. We also had THE PLEASURE OF Sport-mode: our images over speeding traffic was unclear, frozen.

Finally, the camera records a solid AVI video up to 30 frames per second. [1] [2] the volume might not be sufficiently loud YouTube audience, the video was fluid and clear voice: we could be heard playing in the background vocals, a friend and we wish it only stereo. [1] [2] it is possible while filming the zoom controls.

Even though we had taken 30 10-MP shots, the 1030 SW continued to run fast. elapsed between the date on which the camera 1 sec to enable and disable and ready yourself consecutive shots, which is also, but not impressive 5 seconds we were also pleased with the battery. [2] [3]; individual payment allowed for several days the use of light.

You do not have to climb Mt. Olympus 1030 SW. to appreciate its sustainability and the ability to capture sharp images from a variety of Shooting conditions facilitate versatile camera travelers and thrill-seekers-like products.
