By the advertising. Only a few models are weatherproof meaning that they
won't be harmed by rain or water splashing on them (not to confused with
"waterproof" meaning they can stand submersion in water). The Stylus series
by Olympus is weatherproof but this is not part of that series. If it were
weatherproof they'd publicize the fact as part of the sales pitch. I.E.
Here's the page on the Stylus 500

Weather" inscription right on the body.
