The E-P1 gives you the option to apply Art Filter effects to pictures and movies. Each filter creates a unique look and style.
Pop Art super-saturates colors and creates brighter, more vivid photographs.
Soft Focus creates a dreamlike quality, giving photographs a fantasy feel.
Pale & Light Color brings soft, flat light and pastel coloring to your photos to create a feeling of romance.
Light Tone brightens your entire image, including its darker areas, providing more detail and light.
Grainy Film creates more dramatic shots. It produces a gritty black-and-white film quality, giving your photographs an edgier look.
Pin Hole darkens the outer edges of your photograph, enhancing the subject in the center. This creates the feeling of a new atmosphere and brings the photograph to life.
When shooting with an Art Filter, the E-P1 captures your images in both RAW and JPEG format. The original image is saved as a RAW file and the Art Filter image as a JPEG, preserving both the Art Filter image and the original shot.

With the E-P1 you can shoot HD-quality movies. Record in standard 4:3 (640 x 480, 30 fps) or the widescreen-compatible 16:9 (1280 x 720, 30 fps) aspect ratio. The image sensor in the E-P1 is much larger than in an HD video camera, and offers higher image quality for your movies. And because the E-P1 has SLR capabilities, it provides other unique features you can’t get from an ordinary video camera. You can use different lenses—even shoot your movie with a 17mm. The E-P1 also has in-body Electrical Image Stabilization, so your movies will be crystal clear with any lens. You even have the ability to apply photographic effects, including Art Filters, to all your movies.1 In addition, the still-image-save function makes it possible to save the last frame in the movie as a still image. You can even connect the E-P1 to an HDMI-equipped TV set with the optional HDMI mini-cable and view your HD movies and images with stereo audio.

the touch of a button. And if you use the control dial, you can boost magnification up to 10 times for more precise manual focusing.
