EVOLT E-510 Highlights
Innovative 2.5-inch Live View HyperCrystal LCD The E-510 features
a Live View LCD to provide users with the freedom to choose how
they compose their s, using either the LCD or the optical
viewfinder on the back of the camera. The Olympus Live View LCD
empowers users to easily compose their subjects live on the LCD
before the has been taken, offering a level of versatility
that can not be achieved by other digital SLR cameras that only
offer an optical viewfinder. By holding the E-510 away from the
face and using the Live View LCD to compose, its possible to
shoot upward from a low angle for dramatic composition, in close
for detailed macro photos of a butterflys wings or photographing
a parade over a crowd of people.
The E-510s big and bright 2.5-inch LCD display with
approximately 230,000 pixels includes HyperCrystal technology,
which offers many times the contrast of conventional LCD
monitors, and enables images to be beautifully displayed in vivid
color -- both in preview and playback. The HyperCrystal LCD also
provides a wide viewing angle, which ensures images can be
composed from even the most obscure angles. The larger LCD makes
viewing icons and text on the cameras menu a squint-free process.
Detailed, bright, and colorful photos with 10-megapixel Live MOS
image sensor The E-510 is loaded with an impressive 10 million
pixels for high-resolution photos. The 10-megapixel sensor gives
photographers the flexibility to blow up their prints to the
large sizes supported by many of todays printers, or crop the
image to print only a part of the image that is important to
them. The high-performance Live MOS image sensor in the E-510
delivers excellent dynamic range for accurate color fidelity, and
a new state-of-the-art amplifier circuit to eradicate noise and
capture fine image details in the highlight and shadow areas.
Mechanical Image Stabilization for sharp images Unlike other
digital SLR cameras in its class, the E-510 employs Mechanical
Image Stabilization, which compensates for camera movement. This
new technology complements Digital Image Stabilization, which
compensates for a moving subject. Combined, Mechanical Image
Stabilization and Digital Image Stabilization provide a powerful
solution, ensuring blur-free photos even in active shooting
situations where photographers may encounter camera shake or a
moving subject. This powerful combination resides within the
cameras body, translating to blur-free images taken with any of
the more than 30 digital-specific lenses.
Dust Reduction System for spot-free images Olympus Dust Reduction
System produces spot-free photos with the exclusive Supersonic
Wave Filter. The patented ultrasonic technology vibrates to
remove dust and other particles from the front of the image
sensor, and captures the debris on a special adhesive membrane
every time you turn on the camera. These spot-free photos
liberate users from hours spent retouching photographs at the
computer or sending their cameras back to the manufacturer to
remove dust trapped inside.
TruePic III for image clarity Olympus enhanced TruePic III Image
Processor produces crystal clear photos using all the pixel
information for each image to provide the best digital images
possible for every photo with accurate color, true-to-life
tones, brilliant blue skies and precise tonal representation in
between. TruePic III also lowers image noise by one step to
reduce noise in images at higher ISO settings, enabling
great results in low-light situations.
Included 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko lens The E-410 one-lens outfit
includes a compact, Zuiko Digital ED 14 - 42 mm f3.5 - f5.6 lens
(equivalent to 28mm - 84mm in 35mm photography) that perfectly
matches the imager so light strikes the sensor directly to ensure
rich, accurate colors and edge-to-edge sharpness. Its 3x ED Glass
zoom lens covers the range most frequently used in everyday
photography and weighs just 7.5 ounces, offering users an
extremely dynamic, portable everyday-use zoom. Close-ups as near
as 9.84 inches (0.25 m) are also possible throughout the zoom
range.
All E-Series cameras support the Four-Thirds Standard whereby
Olympus and various other manufacturers produce high-quality
Four-Thirds-compliant lenses and accessories that are

flashes.
