Olympus VG-170 Digital Camera

The new Olympus VG-170 features sleek design and a best-in-class flash, perfect for point-and-shoot photographers

Olympus Imaging Australia today announces the VG-170, a compact digital camera featuring a best-in-class flash that is up to three times as powerful as regular compact cameras. Designed for the photographer who regularly photographs indoors or in low-light conditions using flash illumination, the VG-170 is perfect for those who may require more flash illumination power than their normal compact cameras can provide.

An extraordinary strobe power of GN 8.7 (rated at ISO 100) enables clear flash illumination of subjects up to 15 metres away. In this Long Flash Mode, the intelligent VG-170 also automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity to compensate for low light conditions. The compact VG-170 is the ideal model for consumers desiring easy point-and-shoot flash photography with perfect results.

With its 14 megapixel sensor and a large 3-inch LCD screen, the VG-170 features a slim, stylish body with a fashionable retro aesthetic. A super compact 26-130mm* lens, using Olympus’ proprietary aspherical lens technology, offers a convenient zoom range with outstanding wide-angle capability and superbly sharp pictures.

About Olympus

In Greek mythology, Mt.Olympus is the home of the twelve supreme gods and goddesses. Olympus was named after this mountain to reflect its strong aspiration to create high quality, world famous products.

"Olympus" has been used as a trademark since the time of Takachiho Seisakusho, the predecessor of Olympus Corporation.

In Japanese mythology, it is said that eight million gods and goddesses live in Takamagahara, the peak of Mt.Takachiho. The name "Olympus" was selected as the trademark because Mt.Olympus, like Mt.Takachiho, was the home of gods and goddesses. This trademark is also imbued with the aspiration of Olympus to illuminate the world with its optical devices, just like Takamagahara brought light to the world.

Takachiho Seisakusho was renamed Takachiho Optical Co., Ltd. in 1942 when optical products became the mainstay of the company. In 1947, the name was changed again to Olympus Optical Co., Ltd. in an attempt to enhance its corporate image.

And in 2003, the company made a fresh start as Olympus Corporation, to show its willingness to establish a dynamic corporate brand by unifying the corporate name and the well-known brand.

In recent years, Olympus Corporation has focused on "Opto-Digital Technology" as its core competence, technological strengths that competitors cannot easily imitate, to maximize corporate value and to become one of the top optical instrument manufactures.
