description Olympus Stylus 1s Overview
The Olympus Stylus 1s is a fixed-lens digital camera that combines a compact body with controls and handling associated with larger enthusiast cameras. Its defining feature is a 28-300mm equivalent zoom lens that maintains an f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the range, supported by an electronic viewfinder and image stabilization. It is intended for travel and general photography where carrying multiple interchangeable lenses would be inconvenient.
help Olympus Stylus 1s FAQ
What makes the Olympus Stylus 1s zoom unusual?
Its built-in lens covers a 28-300mm equivalent range with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture. The 10.7x optical zoom therefore remains bright at the 300mm end, which is unusual for a compact camera.
What sensor and resolution does the Olympus Stylus 1s use?
The Stylus 1s uses a 1/1.7-inch CMOS sensor with approximately 12 megapixels. It is a fixed-lens camera, so the lens cannot be removed or replaced like an interchangeable Micro Four Thirds lens.
How is the Olympus Stylus 1s different from the original Stylus 1?
The Stylus 1s added features such as step zoom and a small AF target while keeping the 28-300mm f/2.8 lens. Olympus announced it in October 2014 for release in mid-November 2014.
Can the Olympus Stylus 1s record Full HD video?
Yes. It records Full HD at 1920 by 1080 pixels and 30 frames per second, and it can also save RAW and JPEG still images.
