Olympus EVOLT E-500 review
Get great photos while barely lifting a finger with 15 scene modes. Just
select the one you want from the menu - Beach and Snow, Portrait,
Landscape, Sports and more - and press the shutter button. That’s it.
For a bit more say in your photos’ appearance, choose between 6 basic
modes (Auto, Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene Portrait, Macro, and Sports)
while still leaving the aperture and shutter speed settings to the camera
itself.
Exercise total control with creative modes like Program, Aperture Priority,
Shutter Priority, and Manual.
A large, high-resolution 2.5" LCD provides a big canvas with which to
review and share pictures and features HyperCrystal technology so you can
even do so up to a 160-degree viewing angle, left to right and up and down.
The big screen also makes it easier to use the menu, identify icons and
adjust settings.
Compatible with the largest selection of digital specific lenses anywhere.
Each Zuiko lens is precision-crafted to deliver pristine images and is
perfectly matched to the camera’s image sensor for amazing sharpness
and color from one edge of the image to the other.
Shoot using any of five metering modes including the new 49-point Digital
ESP metering, center-weighted average metering, spot metering, highlight
spot metering (for clean, true whites with detail), and shadow spot
metering (for rich blacks with detail).
Add dramatic effects of color to your black-and-white pictures such as
sepia, blue, green, and purple using Black-and-White filter modes.
Automatic pop-up flash provides just the right amount of illumination when
necessary and remains out of the way (closed) when not.
Select the level of lighting you want via any of the seven (7) available
flash modes.
Stable and lightweight body is designed with ergonomic styling and an
advanced grip making it extremely comfortable to handle and use.

Card, CompactFlash card or both.
R, G, B Histogram available with both highlight and shadow waning.
PictBridge-compatible.
Select from left, center, or right Auto Focus points either automatically
or manually.

Choose White Balance or Preset White Balance with the exclusive one-touch
WB button on the back of the camera.
Eliminate unwanted image noise with Noise Reduction.
Control color saturation, contrast and sharpness levels separately for each
file by selecting any of three available color parameters: Vivid (for
printer-ready colors); Natural (for true, accurate colors); and Muted
(ideal for Photoshop® users who enhance/scale images).
Use the five most popular Monochrome modes - Yellow, Orange, Red, Green,
and Normal (no filter) - to expand your ability to add even more drama to
your black-and-white pictures.
Choose your preference from two color space settings, sRGB or Adobe RGB,
for desired results.
Customize the settings that best suit your subject with Contrast, Sharpness
and Tone Controls.
