Picture Quality / Size Options
The Olympus Stylus 1030SW brings high resolution to its feature set with its 10.1-megapixel 1/2.35-inch CCD. Previous waterproof Stylus cameras haven’t offered this much. The 790SW and 770SW both have 7.1 megapixels. The newer Olympus Stylus 850SW that was announced alongside the 1030SW comes with 8 megapixels.
 
The 1030SW records JPEG images in the following image sizes: 3648 x 2736, 2560 x 1920, 2304 x 1728, 2048 x 1536, 1920 x 1080 (16:9), 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, and 640 x 480. Images can be trimmed in the Playback mode to 640 x 480 or 320 x 240 pixels.

Picture Effects Mode
There aren’t any cool effects in the recording modes, but the Playback mode is full of them. You can change the color of an image to black & white, sepia, vivid, or muted. You can add dozens of frames and labels to make cards in the camera that can then be printed directly. You can also create calendar pages with several layouts in the Playback menu.
