The olympus vg-110 super macro mode.

The inexpensive VG-110 compact digital camera has a supermacro mode. To obtain the sharpest detail you should set the focusing mode to spot and not face/iESP or AF tracking. As one can see above, even an insect can be seen clearly in the flower.


Here is another photo using the Super Macro feature of the Olympus VG-110.

Night shots at Lung Center of the Philippines

I have an album of photos hosted at my publicly available Facebook albums. Here is one photo among the 27 photos in the album. I took these photos on the way to the Lung Center of the Philippines to visit a dear sister. It include scenes also from Philcoa area.

Only the lights from lamps in the area was used (no flash!) to illuminate the scene. There is noise in the image but overall the VG-110 comes off well, even showing the green color of some of the trees.

My Olympus VG-110 Point and Shoot camera

The first time I held in my hands the small Olympus VG-110 camera as a replacement for my Samsung ES30, I thought the photos it can take will all be grainy and matte'd. Spending more time with it, I am now a satisfied user of this ultra compact camera! It can take sports photos (I used the Image Stabilization) or sports setting, which requires multiple shots with the Samsung, I bought the camera at U.P. Clark at Photoline, and I am disappointed that the sales lady removed the factory warranty card(hey! it belongs to you) and the USB cable with a line filter (the one with a cyclinder). (I came back this noontime and I am amazed the usb cable with a line filter is NOT REALY availlable. But the manufacturer's manual says it is provided!) The camera kit set me back at 4995 pesos.

I will explore more this camera and will publish links to albums of photos taken with it. Specification data taken from
