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.
