It’s the digital age and for Olympus that means creating the ultimate lightweight, high output camera. Although it’s packed with professional options, the PEN is as easy to use as a compact. A helpful new Live Guide to set difficult SLR features was created with users in mind, and that’s not all the E-PL1 has on offer. Effects ranging from i-Auto and i-Enhance to
e-Portrait can all be viewed and framed in real time on the 2.7” LCD and ensure pictures look like they were shot by a master.

Inspired users find their fill with the E-PL1’s creative options. A selection of six Art Filters, such as the new Gentle Sepia, lets them explore their creativity in both film and still photography. HD movie fanatics are in for another treat: they can change depth of field and angle of view, vary the autofocus and snap high resolution images while they shoot. Previously unthinkable in consumer camcorders, a huge set of interchangeable lenses - including fast and ultra-light Micro Four Thirds models - provides even more possibilities.
Giving memories the stage they deserve, the PEN marries quality movie and photo shooting with simplicity.
