<\/img>\n <\/p>\nBoth these additions to the Stylus compact range inherit a few features from Olympus’s other lines, not least of which is the TruePic VII image processor from the O-MD family.<\/p>\n
The Olympus Stylus SH-1’s design is echoes the Olympus Pen series, with an aluminium alloy body, metal finish and synthetic leather grip.<\/p>\n
Chief among its feature set is the optical image stabilisation. The Stylus SH-1 brings Olympus’s 5-axis image stabilisation system to a digital compact, controlling and reducing blur in five planes of movement.<\/p>\n
Olympus claims the system works so well that \u2018you can shoot long Full HD movies from the back of a moving scooter’.<\/p>\n
Housed elsewhere in the Stylus SH-1 is a 16-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor as well as the TruePic VII image processor we’ve seen on the OM-D E-M1. It features a 24x optical zoom lens with a focal range of 25-600mm (35mm equivalent).<\/p>\n
The SH-1 also boasts an integrated level gauge or \u2018artificial horizon’ for keeping images straight. Focus and framing can be monitored and controlled via the 3in, 460,000-dot LCD touchscreen.<\/p>\n
Olympus claims that the Tough TG-3 is not only waterproof but also shockproof from heights of 2.1 metres, crushproof to weights of 100kg, dustproof, and freezeproof to -10\u00b0C. Like the SH-1, it boasts 16MP BSI CMOS sensor. <\/p>\n
Designed for getting up close with nature, The Tough TG-3 comes equipped with an Advanced Super Macro Mode that’s actually four separate modes in one: Microscope Mode, Microscope Control Mode, Focus Stacking Mode and Focus Bracketing Mode.<\/p>\n

\n Microscope mode allows for 40x magnification of subjects as close as 1cm, while Focus Stacking Mode simulates the technique for which it is named, automatically taking multiple shots of a single macro subject with different parts in focus and then merging them into a single image.<\/p>\n Both new Stylus cameras are equipped with Wi-Fi and can be remotely controlled via a compatible smartphone.<\/p>\n A number of optional accessories are also available for both models, including an exclusive leather jacket for the SH-1 and a macro ringlight for the Tough TG-3.<\/p>\n The Olympus Stylus SH-1 will be available from the end of April in silver, black or white, priced \u00a3349.99. Meanwhile, the Olympus Stylus Tough TG-3 will be released in June and cost the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Stylus SH-1 is the world’s only digital compact to feature 5-axis optical image stabilisation, while the Tough TG-3 can be used underwater to depths of up to 15m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":327,"featured_media":6450,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-6449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photo-news"],"yoast_head":"\n
