The red TG-830 iHS Digital Camera from Olympus
is a "tough" point-and-shoot digital camera with a 16MP sensor, 5x
optical zoom lens, a host of assistive features and waterproof,
shockproof, crush-proof and freeze-proof capabilities. The 16MP Back
Side Illuminated CMOS sensor combined with the powerful TruePic VI Image
Processor provide detailed, true-color images and fast performance
speeds. Full HD 1080p video capture with a dedicated one-touch button
and HDMI output is supported by the TG-830 iHS and high-speed 720p HD
recording is possible at 120 frames per second with slow-motion
playback. You can also simultaneously shoot photos while you record
video.
The Olympus TG-830 iHS is built tough to withstand the
elements and the impacts that might otherwise damage a compact camera.
It can shoot underwater to a depth of 33' (10 m) and with two protective
frames it is shock-proof to a drop of 6.9' (2.1 m) and crush-proof up
to 220 lbf (100 kgf). It's able to shoot and maintain all functions in
temperatures as low as 14°F (-10°C) and a protective seal keeps it sand-
and dust-proof. Both the lens and the LCD screen have a water-repellent
coating so rain and condensation won't fog up your view and the
double-lock battery door prevents accidental openings.
The lens on
the TG-830 iHS is a 5x optical zoom that provides the focal length
equivalency of 28-140mm in the 35mm format. At 28mm, you have a
wide-angle lens that can shoot expansive vistas and inclusive group
shots and 140mm is a telephoto length that can magnify distant subjects
or shoot creative close-ups. A Super Resolution Zoom function is also
available to double that reach if necessary. Dual Image Stabilization
offers clearer images by reducing the blurring effects of camera shake
when shooting at telephoto lengths and in low light situations. And fast
burst shooting is supported at 11.5fps (frames per second) in full
resolution and up to 60.3fps in lower resolutions.
A 3.0" LCD
screen with a water-repellent coating provides composition and playback
and numerous assistive features make it easy to get the best shot
possible. Enhanced Intelligent Auto will make all camera adjustments to
capture your images with the optimal settings and Scene Modes allow you
to match the camera's settings to the scene you are shooting, whether it
be Sports, Snow, or Night Portrait. One-touch Panorama is supported and
Face Detection recognizes when you are shooting people to optimize
exposure on their faces for sharp, well-lit portraits. Creative Art
Filters, such as Watercolor, Fisheye and Miniature are available to add
special effects to your images and Beauty Mode lets you smooth out
wrinkles, whiten teeth and add make-up touches.
The TG-830 iHS
also features GPS and e.compass functions to log the route taken while
shooting and to provide location and landmark information which can be
recorded along with the compatible image.
