The Olympus VG-170: A brighter dawn for your photography with a flash that’s twice as powerful Olympus introduces a new flagship model in its 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.
