Product Description
• The Olympus VG-170: A brighter dawn for your photography with a flash that’s twice as powerful

• Olympus VG170 model Is easy to use compact range with the illuminating advantage of a “best in class” flash that is nearly four times as powerful as that found on a regular compact camera and offers twice the range. This brighter-than-average bulb is capable of lighting up faces 15 metres away in wide-angle setting. What’s more in Long Flash mode the camera will trade off megapixels against ISO sensitivity so that it is automatically set up to deliver the best results in low light photography. The result is great looking pictures even in otherwise tricky lighting conditions.

The VG-170 includes a high resolution for bigger enlargements creatively broad focal range equivalent to a wide 26-130mm in 35mm film terms for flexibility in framing plus effective anti shake to reduce blur when shooting handheld and in lower light. Light sensitivity settings between ISO80-1600 are also manually selectable. Alternatively turn on the built-in flash.

Massive matchless flash helps make light work
Among the most commonly used functions on a compact camera a good quality built-in flash can mean the difference between getting a great quality photograph in low light or none at all. The big flash on the VF-170 is therefore capable of providing a big big improvement in your photographs.

Nine Magic Filters for turning the everyday into the extraordinary
Specifically designed to expand the creative potential of digital photography this impressive function of the VG-170 utilises in-camera image processing technology to effortlessly transform the everyday into extraordinary scenes. Simple to operate the filters allow users to create entirely new worlds with their images. From vibrant colours and pencil drawings to mysterious or rounded perspectives artistic spirits can magically turn ideas into reality for both still photos and video.

Users can choose from Punk Pop Art Pin Hole Drawing Fish Eye Soft Focus
Sparkle and new additions Watercolour and Reflection.

Punk: Pose like Sid and Nancy and have your world turned dayglo with this fun feature that transforms your photos into crudely photocopied fanzine style images but in a good way.

Pop Art: In the tradition of Andy Warhol this effect enhances colours making them stronger and more vivid. It creates high-impact pictures that express the happy light-hearted feeling of the pop art style.

Fish-Eye: With its distorted 180-degree perspective this filter reproduces the dramatic effect of a fish-eye lens. It lends a new perspective to the whole scene with a round effect.

Drawing: This filter gives the impression that subjects have been sketched on the fly by an artist just at the moment that inspiration struck. Images are transformed into line drawings for improvised creative results.

Pin Hole: For an ethereal feel Pin Hole reduces the peripheral brightness of images like an image seen through a pinhole. Added to this is a unique colour tone that results in a style that has an air of secrecy or portrays the feeling of being lost in another dimension or space.

Soft Focus: Give your portraits that romantic otherworldly look beloved of wedding photographers.

Sparkle: Well you can never have enough sparkle in your life can you? A photos-only Magic Filter that truly imparts a sprinkling of fairy dust.

Watercolour: One of two new filters on this model. Turn your photos into watercolour-like ‘paintings’.

Reflection: Second of two new Magic Filters.
