Olympus E-420 review
On-Screen Autofocus On-Screen Autofocus with Live View works as seamlessly
as a point-and-shoot to display subjects in focus on the LCD the instant
the shutter is pressed half way.
Face Detection Technology Face Detection Technology targets and locks on up
to eight faces to ensure accurate focus for crystal clear, amazing
portraits.
Shadow Adjustment Technology Shadow Adjustment Technology captures detail
in the bright areas of a frame and opens up detail in the shadows that
other cameras would render too dark or underexposed.
Olympus Eco-product Certified as an Olympus Eco-product, this camera has a
reduced environmental footprint across its entire product lifecycle, which
encompasses not only the product and its packaging, but also the
manufacturing and logistical processes in bringing the product to the
marketplace.
Compact Design The E-420 measures 5.1 inches by 3.6 inches by 2.1 inches,
and it’s a featherweight 13.4 ounces — making it the world’s
smallest digital SLR.
dust reduction system The Olympus dust reduction system is an industry
first and a proven technology. Every time you turn on the E-420, the
Supersonic Wave Filter™ — located between the shutter and the image
sensor – silently vibrates an amazing 35,000 times per second. Dust is
flung away and collected so it can’t come back.
Digital Image Stabilization The Digital Image Stabilization Scene Select
Mode allows high ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speeds so you can
freeze the action to capture sharp, blur-free images even if you or your
subject is moving.
2.7" HyperCrystal II LCD The E-420’s 2.7" HyperCrystal II
LCD delivers twice the contrast and better viewing in extreme lighting
conditions, a broader range of color detail, and a wider angle of view on
the LCD.
10-megapixel The powerful 10-megapixel Live-MOS sensor means you’ll
see more detail in your pictures than ever before. And you’ll have
the flexibility to crop and still produce large, detailed prints.
TruePic III™ The E- 420’s TruePic III™ processor gives you better
color and quality through true-to-life skin tones, brilliant blue skies,
precise color transitions, more detail and less image noise.
wireless flash Expand your creative reach with wireless flash
compatibility. The E-420 is compatible with the Olympus FL-50R and FL-36R
wireless electronic flashes that are designed exclusively for digital
photography.

select the right mode for your shot; the E-420 takes care of the rest. The
18 modes cover practically every common shooting scenario including
Portrait, Fireworks, Sports, Landscape, Sunset and many more.

how naturally it fits in your hand. The improved grip is ergonomically
designed for superior comfort. The E-420’s body is lightweight and
stylish so it’s a pleasure to carry and use for hours at a time.

xD-Picture Cards, the E-420 provides a choice of data storage options for
enhanced flexibility, and it is possible to transfer image files from one
card to the other right inside the camera.
Perfect Shot Preview Perfect Shot Preview enables you to view and select
your favorite effect right on the LCD, and see how the image will look
before you even capture it.
3.5 frames per second Fire of a burst of shots at 3.5 frames per second.
The E-420’s burst rate is perfect for capturing the ideal shot at
backyard birthday parties or at youth soccer games.
Auto White Balance The E420’s Auto White Balance function analyzes
information from the scene and calibrates how a white object should appear
under a variety of light sources, so your images turn out vibrant and life
like.
Four Thirds Mount The benefits of the Four Thirds Mount on the E-420 are
many. You get a digitally designed image sensor, a compact design, as well
as expandability and compatibility with the rest of the Four Thirds System.
