Digital Camera Description

The Olympus SP-100 is a Large Digital Camera with a 1/2.3" sensor. Its 16 Megapixels CMOS sensor offers an ISO 125-6400 sensitivity range which is expandable to ISO 125-6400. This makes it possible to shoot hand-held in relatively low-light. With 16 MP of resolution, sharp prints are possible up to 19" x 14" at 240 DPI.

A builtin Image Stabilization mechanism allows the Olympus SP-100 to compensate for camera shake.

This camera features a mechanic shutter that can expose for 1/1700 to 30s. With a fastest shutter-speed of 1/1700, fast action cannot be frozen. Night photography is possible using this digital camera due to its long exposure capability. This camera model offers Full Manual Controls.

The Olympus SP-100 features a Contrast-Detect AF system.

Although this camera offers full manual controls, it does not have any control-dials to change exposure parameters directly. This camera does not feature any seals to protect it against adverse weather, dust and moisture. Care must be taken, just like with most electronics. Framing on the Olympus SP-100 is performed via a Built-in EVF with 920K Pixels. This EVF shows 100% coverage.
