Olympus E-620 review
Art Filters The six in-camera Art Filters allow you to replicate dramatic
effects as you shoot using the Autofocus Live View LCD. Choose from Pop
Art, Soft Focus, Pale and Light Color, Grainy Film, Light Tone and Pin Hole
Camera filters.
Multiple Exposure Multiple Exposure shooting allows you to alter space and
time by combining images shot in different locations and moments, lending
your photos another dramatic dimension. (2 Frames - up to 3 Images Overlay)
aspect ratios Express yourself by altering how you frame the world —
choose from four aspect ratios, from the standard 4:3 to the cinematic
16:9. By selecting an aspect ratio before shooting and easily reviewing
images on the LCD throughout the shoot, the Multi-Aspect function adds a
new means of expression to your photography.
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. The 2.7-inch dual-axis, high-definition,
Live View monitor swivels 270° so you can capture dramatic images, even at
difficult-to-shoot angles.
AF system The seven-point twin AF system has five twin-cross AF points with
two horizontal and two vertical lines and two twin vertical pairs in a
houndstooth alignment which allow for more accurate focusing than a single
line sensor. Twin AF points means you’ll get accurate focus and
capture the best images possible.
12.3-megapixel The powerful 12.3-megapixel Live-MOS sensor means
you’ll capture more detail than ever before in your pictures. And
you’ll have the flexibility to crop and still produce large, detailed
prints.
In-Body Image Stabilization In-Body Image Stabilization is a
state-of-the-art technology that prevents camera shake. Built into the
camera body, Olympus’ image stabilization works by moving the image
sensor and it works with all Four Thirds Zuiko Digital lenses from the 8mm
fisheye (16mm equivalent in 35mm photography) to the 300mm super telephoto
(600mm equivalent) for handheld shots. Shoot in low light and slower
shutter speeds without worry.
Face Detection Tracks up to eight faces and automatically focuses and
optimizes exposures for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures.
Shadow Adjustment Technology Shadow Adjustment Technology brings out more
details in shadows. It captures scenes exactly as you see them, even in
challenging situations — for example, when shooting a backlit
subject.
dust reduction system The Olympus dust reduction system is an industry
first and a proven technology. Every time you turn on the E-620, the
Supersonic Wave Filter™ — located between the shutter and the image
sensor – silently vibrates an amazing 30,000 times per second. Dust is
flung away and collected so it can’t come back.
wireless electronic flashes The E-620 is compatible with the Olympus FL-50R
and FL-36R wireless electronic flashes that are designed exclusively for
digital photography. Gain remote control of up to 200 flashes divided into
as many as 3 groups for easy camera-controlled wireless flash, without
needing an external commander unit.
TruePic III+ Image Processor Olympus’ TruePic III+ Image Processor
produces clear and colorful photos using all the pixel information for each
image to provide the best digital images possible, it also lowers image
noise in photos shot at higher ISO settings, enabling great results in
low-light situations.
