## Description

Product Description This Olympus Stylus 170QD camera is the most powerful and feature-filled model in the Stylus series. The 38-170mm 4.5x telephoto zoom lens features extra-low dispersion (ED) glass to reduce color aberration and help provide crisp, high-contrast images. Advanced Combination Autofocus System automatically switches between active and passive modes to deliver a precise, accurate focus. Fully automatic operation with autofocus, exposure, film loading and rewinding. Other features include automatic multifunction flash with red-eye reduction; self-timer with 12-second delay; date/time imprinting; diopter correction for individual vision requirements; all-weather protective clamshell case design and auto color balancing that ensures natural color even when shooting in artificial light. Uses one 3V lithium battery (DL123A, CR123A or equivalent, not included). No. 170QD 120-355. Imported. 2-1/2Hx4-3/4Wx2D" desertcart.com With the addition of the Stylus Epic Zoom 170 QD camera to its popular Stylus line, Olympus has introduced several new features, including an extremely powerful 4.5x zoom lens, an extra-low dispersion (ED) glass lens element that reduces color aberration when the telephoto lens is fully extended, and a newly developed advanced combination autofocus system. The zoom also includes two aspherical lens elements for crisp, high-contrast images. The advanced combination autofocus system has a focus range from 2.6 feet to infinity, and automatically switches between active and passive modes to give you the clearest image possible. With the focus lock feature, the camera will even remember your current focus setting for a few seconds so you can reframe your shot. Besides having a completely automatic focus system, the Epic Zoom 170 features autoexposure, as well as auto film loading and rewinding, making it extremely easy and convenient to use. An intelligent, variable-power built-in flash provides exclusive auto color-balancing and red-eye reduction. In addition, you can set the flash to auto, off, fill-in, or night scene modes to better suit your shooting conditions. If you are shooting when the lens is in wide-angle format, and using ISO 100 color negative film, you get a flash range from 2.6 to 16.4 feet; in telephoto format, the range is 2.6 to 5.9 feet. With ISO 400 color negative film, you get a flash range from 2.6 to 32.8 feet in wide-angle and 2.6 to 11.8 feet in telephoto. The Epic Zoom 170 QD comes with a date-imprinting option. You can chose from: no data, year-month-day, month-day-year, day-month-year, and day-hour-minute. This guarantees that you will never again forget when you shot each roll of film. It even has an automatic calendar system through the year 2035. This camera boasts the same lightweight, ultracompact clamshell design as the rest of the sporty Stylus line-up. The sliding cover provides all-weather durability against rain, snow, or water splashed from any direction. Although it isn't waterproof, it gives you worry-free use while skiing, at the beach, or in most foul weather conditions. The real-image zoom viewfinder lets you see exactly how your shot is framed before you take the picture, while the diopter correction adjusts to your individual vision requirements. P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); 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.

All-Weather Construction - Special seals and coatings allow worry-free shooting in any weather. Spot Mode - Solves tricky lighting problems by limiting exposure readings to a specific area of the frame. Dioptric Correction - An adjustments dial allows you set viewfinder focus to suit your preference. See more

Review: Olympus Stylus Epic Zoom 170 QD 35mm camera - I ordered this camera used a year ago through desertcart to try it out. However, the used camera always gave me trouble. The zoom would not work with the autofocus or the flash and when putting in a new roll of film it often went right to rewind and I lost a roll of film. But I did like the quality of pictures the camera produced and the ease of operation. I have been very pleased with this new camera. Everything works and I got my first roll of developed pictures back and was very pleased with the quality.
Review: Camera didn’t work - My camera didn’t work when I ordered it. My friend got the same one and hers works fine but mine doesn’t extend the lease and I can’t take any pictures at all. I tried reaching out to the seller and haven’t heard back. Very disappointed.
