Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The most potent and full-featured Stylus model yet, the Stylus Epic Zoom 170 packs a powerful - the most powerful and longest zoom lens in the Stylus family - 4.5x zoom lens with 170mm telephoto capability to make distant subjects seem close enough to touch. An Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass lens element is included to reduce color aberration (which is very important at 170mm telephoto range) along with two aspherical lens elements to help provide crisp, high-contrast images.

Further innovation comes via the camera's Advanced Combination Autofocus System, automatically switching between active and passive modes to deliver precise, accurate focus. And let's not forget the "staple" features of the Stylus family - all-weather construction, fully automatic operation, 12-second electronic self-timer - that help make this (and all Stylus cameras) a great choice for your picture-taking needs.

The Stylus Epic Zoom 170 also comes as a Deluxe model featuring the ability to shoot Panoramic photos, great when photographing landscapes or group photos, and Olympus' exclusive Visual Confirmation Finder (VF).
