Description — Olympus VG-160
The Olympus VG-160 is a point-and-shoot compact camera centered around a 14MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format, producing stills at up to 4288x3216 pixels. Its body measures just 96 x 57 x 19mm and tips the scales at 125g, making it a genuinely portable everyday camera. The 3.0-inch fixed LCD with 230,000-dot resolution serves as both the primary viewfinder and playback screen.
Autofocus uses contrast detection with face detection AF and subject tracking to keep shots sharp without manual intervention. The ISO range spans 80 to 1600, and digital image stabilization helps manage camera shake. Video recording reaches up to 720p at 30fps, with 15fps also selectable, and both stills and video support Standard and Magic Art Filters color profiles.
The built-in flash covers a range of up to 4.8m across five modes. Storage relies on SD and SDHC cards, with USB connectivity for offloading files. The LI-70B battery is rated for approximately 300 shots per CIPA standards.
