Ultra-compact, easy to use and 10.0 million pixels - Olympus E-400: D-SLR power whenever you want it
With the E-400, Olympus presents the world’s smallest and lightest D-SLR* camera that’s also exceptionally easy to use. Its ultra-compact dimensions and low weight offer users the freedom to take this 10.0 million pixel model with a large 2.5”/ 6.4cm LCD nearly anywhere. Yet despite its modest proportions, the E-400 provides the SLR power and performance sought by pros. As featured in all E-System cameras, the E-400 incorporates the Supersonic Wave Filter. This unique Olympus technology protects the image sensor against the negative potential effects of dust and other contaminants. And being Four Thirds Standard-compatible, the E-400 grants photographers practically unlimited flexibility with a wide range of lenses and other accessories available to suit special needs.
As the world’s smallest and lightest D-SLR camera*, the E-400 brings never-before-seen compactness and easy mobility to this product segment. It’s perfect for travelling, to take along on holidays or as a back-up when on the road, and won’t ever become a burden.
Naturally, the high imaging performance known in all Olympus E-System cameras is maintained. As well as being equipped with the Supersonic Wave Filter for brilliant dust-free photography at all times, the camera incorporates a 10.0 million pixel CCD.
A great balance of manual control for creativity and automatic options for ease of use is available to photographers – with 31 shooting modes in total. Various colour modes are also on hand and a variety of Black&White filters can be applied to photos.
Supporting the Four Thirds Standard, users have access to a multitude of accessories and lenses from both Olympus and various other producers. Coinciding with the introduction of the E-400, Olympus is also introducing two new ultra-compact ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses. Perfect for standard uses is the ED 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 (equiv. to 28-84mm). For more magnification power, Olympus offers the ED 40-150mm 1:4.0-5.6 (80-300mm).
The E-400 is living proof that D-SLR quality and versatility can go hand-in-hand with compactness and ease of use. |
