Check Shutter Count →The Olympus Stylus 1 (2013) is a premium fixed-lens bridge camera that stood out in its class for its constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the full 10.7× zoom range (28–300mm equivalent). Its 12 MP 1/1.7” BSI CMOS sensor — larger than the typical 1/2.3” found in most bridge cameras — delivered noticeably better low-light performance and dynamic range. Key features include a built-in 1.44M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder, a 3-inch 460K-dot tilting touchscreen, 5-axis image stabilisation, 1080p video at 30fps, and RAW (ORF) file support. The Stylus 1 uses a leaf shutter, which is inherently quiet and reduces camera shake at any shutter speed.
| Model | Release | Sensor | Est. Shutter Life | RAW Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Olympus Stylus 1 | 2013 | 12 MP 1/1.7” BSI CMOS | ~100,000–150,000 | ORF |
| Olympus Stylus 1s (revision) | 2014 | 12 MP 1/1.7” BSI CMOS | ~100,000–150,000 | ORF |
Two methods are available. Dropping an ORF file into shuttercount.app is the quickest; the camera menu is the most reliable reference.
The Stylus 1 was priced at around $700–$800 at launch and attracted travel and street photographers who wanted the constant f/2.8 reach. Bodies used heavily for travel photography can show moderate counts; those kept as dedicated event cameras may show higher ones.
| Actuations | Assessment |
|---|---|
| 0 – 5,000 | Very low use — essentially new |
| 5,000 – 20,000 | Light use — excellent condition |
| 20,000 – 50,000 | Moderate use — good working condition |
| 50,000 – 90,000 | Active use — inspect zoom and EVF carefully |
| 90,000 + | Near or past estimate — negotiate and inspect thoroughly |
The Olympus Stylus 1 records images in Olympus’ ORF format. ShutterCount reads the shutter count from the Olympus MakerNote IFD embedded in the ORF file, specifically the same tag offsets used across the OM-D, PEN, and Stylus fixed-lens camera families. Parsing happens entirely in your browser via JavaScript — your ORF file is never uploaded to any server.
For the most authoritative result, cross-check the file-extracted count against the camera menu figure. On most Stylus 1 bodies the two values agree; if they differ by more than a few frames, the camera menu value is definitive.
Drop an ORF file into shuttercount.app for the fastest result, or go to MENU → Setup (wrench) → Camera Information for the camera-menu count. Both methods are free and require no software installation.
Olympus designed the Stylus 1’s Zuiko 28–300mm lens with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the full zoom range — a feature typically found only in professional prime or heavy telephoto lenses, not compact bridge cameras. This allows consistent exposure settings and shallow depth of field even at 300mm equivalent, where most bridge cameras offer only f/5.6 or narrower.
The Olympus Stylus 1s (2014) refreshed the Stylus 1 with a faster and more reliable AF system, improved noise reduction in JPEG processing, and an updated OLED EVF. The optical system, sensor, zoom range, and ORF RAW support are identical. Both cameras use the same shutter count reading method.
Only an authorised Olympus service centre can reset the internal hardware counter after a leaf-shutter replacement procedure. The count shown in the camera menu is the permanent lifetime total and cannot be altered by the user.
ShutterCount supports the full Olympus and OM System lineup. See related guides:
