Olympus VR-370, In The Morning Light
The camera combines a straightforward point-and-shoot functionality with a respectable zoom range and CCD imagery for enthusiasts of sensor legacy.
The VR-370 is fitted with a 16MP 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor paired with the TruePic III+ image processor.
Olympus retained the CCD lineage for this compact line to leverage the sensor's reputation for color accuracy and low noise characteristics typical of CCD technology.
The 12.5x optical zoom lens spans the 24 to 300mm 35mm equivalent zoom range, with a maximum aperture of f/3.0 (wide) to f/3.3 (telephoto). It features close-focusing capability, ranging from 20cm in macro mode to 1cm in super-macro mode. The camera has a shutter speed range from 4 to 1/2000 seconds.
The functionalities of the VR-370 are supported by a 460,000-dot 3.0-inch LCD for both recording and playback, along with video recordings at 720P (1280×720) and VGA (640×480) in either 30fps or 15fps, using AVI Motion JPEG files.
Exposure modes include Program Auto (P Mode), Intelligent Auto (M Mode), Beauty Mode, Scene Presets with 15 submodes, Magic Art Filters with 10 effects, and a Panorama Mode that captures up to 10 sequential frames for external edge-stitching.
The VR-370 also comes with three AF options: Face/iESP auto-detection recognizes human faces, displaying white frames around detected subjects which turns green upon focus lock; Spot AF that restricts focus to a center target mark; and AF Tracking that locks onto moving subjects like pets, children, or sports action.
Image Stabilization is supported by the VR-370 with sensor-shift (mechanical) stabilization and intelligent high-ISO elevation, activated by either half-pressing (standard) or full depression (more aggressive) of the shutter button, and a dedicated 'Off ' setting for tripod work.
