Olympus E-600 review
THREE ART FILTERS The three 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 or Pin Hole filters.
AUTOFOCUS Live View 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 Super sensitive seven-point Twin including, five-Twin Cross AF
target points, can measure focus both vertically and horizontally, so
regardless of the subject, focusing is super-simple and fast.
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 at 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-600, 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 FLASH CONTROL The E-600 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.
FOUR FRAMES PER SECOND CONTINUOUS SHOOTING Fire off a burst of shots at
four frames per second continuous shooting. The E-600’s burst rate is
perfect for capturing the ideal shot at a backyard birthday party or at a
youth soccer game.
SCENE-SELECT MODES 13 Scene-Select Modes including two underwater modes.
With the E-600, you’re just one scene mode away from taking the perfect
picture. Use a scene mode to perfectly capture a tricky shot, or switch to
manual mode to expand your creative control.
SHUTTER SPEED With a wide range of shutter speeds — from two Seconds
to 1/4000 of a second — you can take full advantage of the high
optical performance of Zuiko Digital lenses.
FIVE METERING MODES With the E-600, there are five Metering Modes: Digital
ESP metering, Center weighted averaging metering, and three types of spot
metering including shadow and highlight spot metering. Simply select the
most suitable mode for the shooting condition.
PIXEL MAPPING The Automatic Pixel Mapping function inside the camera helps
prevent faulty pixels from affecting image quality. This feature can be
manually selected from the camera’s menu and takes only seconds to
complete.
MEMORY CARDS – DUAL MEDIA SLOTS The E-600 supports Compact Flash (Type I
and Type II) Microdrive and xD-Picture Card memory cards. It is UDMA
media-compatible for the highest performance. Use the dual-slot design to
transfer images you want to save from one card to another. Manage your
memories better.
VIEWFINDER With a 95% field-of-view viewfinder you’ll have a clear
and accurate view of your subject.
LANGUAGES Choose from 34 different languages in the menu system.
5X / 7X / AND 10X MAGNIFICATION Live View magnification allows you to
enlarge your subject right on the LCD. Simply turn the control dial to
change the magnification (5?/7?/10?) so you can view fine details and
then adjust focus, exposure or composition as needed. You can even scroll
throughout the frame during magnification to check the tiniest of details
in your image before or after you shoot. Live View magnification enhances
your ability to capture the image just as you imagined it, every time.
