Description — Olympus VG-145
The Olympus VG-145 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built for straightforward, everyday photography.

The ISO range runs from 80 to 1600, providing flexibility across different lighting environments.
Composition and review are handled through a 3.0-inch Fixed LCD with 230,000 dots of resolution — the sole output display, as no viewfinder is included. Autofocus relies on a contrast detection system. For video, the camera captures footage at up to 720p at 30fps.
