Olympus E-500 manual Compact

compact:

A completely digital SLR system that satisfies professional demands.

Four features were given priority in the development of the new Olympus E-500: maximum image quality, a flawless cleaning system for the hyper- sensitive image sensor, ease of use and a compact design. Based on the FourThirds Standard, the E-500 already boasts a wide range of accessories for virtually any demand, including lenses specifically designed for use in digital photography to guarantee optimum performance. Making sure the tough demands of daily use don’t compromise quality, the camera incorporates a unique cleaning system which is only available from Olympus. It ensures that dust entering the camera’s

body during lens changes does not land on the image sensor and affect photos. What surprises at first use of the camera is its low weight, compact and practical

dimensions and its large, high-reso- lution HyperCrystal LCD – which not only delivers razor sharp previews of images but also lets the user see all camera settings at one glance.

The E-500 makes for a sophisticated all-round camera for any area of appli- cation, whether business or private, on the road or in the studio.
