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.







The VR-350 and VR-360: featuring exceptionally compact high-performance super-zoom lenses
With both models utilising the same slim body, the VR-350 and VR-360 feature super-compact large-ratio zoom lenses, which utilise Olympus’ high-performance ED glass (Extra-low Dispersion glass) and proprietary dual-sided aspherical lenses. This combination of technologies provides an impressive zoom range of 24- 240mm* in the VR-350, and 24-300mm* in the VR-360. Boasting 16 megapixels and a wealth of premium features – including an enhanced Intelligent Automatic mode (i-Auto), 15 scene modes including 3D and nine Magic Filter effects – both models allow the user to capture consistently clear, crisp and creative shots.
