Foreword

This technology paper is provided to illustrate the technical advances that enable fast- paced action and event photography with the Olympus’ CAMEDIA E-100 ZOOM RS and to demonstrate how these technical advances can benefit professional and serious amateur digital photographers.

The CAMEDIA E-100 ZOOM RS SLR (single lens reflex) is specifically targeted by Olympus to professionals and serious amateur digital photographers and offers “best of class” features such as a 10x aspherical optical zoom lens, (equivalent to a 380mm lens), a innovative pre-capture image caching mode and 15 frames per second burst capability. It also features image stabilization to steady the lens and a precision elec- tronic viewfinder.

Up until now, most digital camera manufacturers have tried to produce digital cameras that in many ways mimic traditional film cameras, especially with pro or prosumer digital cameras. The introduction of the CAMEDIA E-100 ZOOM RS represents a unique cir- cumstance in which Olympus has purposely pushed the technology envelope to provide features that specifically address the critical needs of sports and fast-paced event digital photographers, an industry first.

The E-100 ZOOM RS includes a bevy of “digital-specific” features that go well beyond the capabilities of traditional professional quality film cameras. After all, why go digital if you aren’t allowed to utilize the efficiencies of digital processes to their fullest extent?

We invite you to read further about the uniquely “digital-specific” features of the CAMEDIA E-100 ZOOM RS SLR and how it allows fast-paced event and sports photography to be even better.
