The world's smallest and lightest LiveView digital SLR
camera has arrived
Featuring LiveView technology, the
Olympus E-410 is, quite possibly, the first digital single lens reflex
(SLR) camera in the world that will appeal to the compact camera user
seeking the high picture quality of an SLR camera, with the familiarity
and ease-of-use of a simple 'point-and-shoot' with a live preview LCD
screen.
Breaking new grounds in compactness and weight, the
stylishly designed Olympus E-410 takes carry-everywhere convenience for
an SLR camera to a new level. Family users, light-packing travelers,
snapshot shooters, and keen photo-bloggers alike will enjoy using this
camera on a daily basis because of its unobstrusive size and weight, and
remarkable slimness. It's no wonder that this camera is truly ideal for
the "Everyday Explorer".
Benefits of Live View
For the digital camera user who likes
the familiarity of using an LCD screen for preview and shooting, the
E-410's large 2.5 inch screen provides a convenient 176 degree
wide-angle view for awkward angle shooting that challenges conventional
digital SLR cameras. High and low angle shots, and even sideways-tilted
photography, are made easy with the E-410's large LiveView screen. The
HyperCrystal technology LCD provides a bright and clear image viewing
for enjoyable picture playback, and its wide viewing angle makes shared
viewing a pleasure.
For the eyeglass-wearing photographer who had stopped
using SLR cameras because it was just too hard to see through small
optical viewfinders, the large and clear LCD live preview will bring a
renewed experience of satisfying SLR camera use. LiveView technology
even makes convenient shared use of an SLR camera amongst family members
of varied photography skill levels possible.
Easy to use for the SLR beginner or
compact camera user
The E-410 lets you take superb photos
without the fuss. Easy, self-explaining "Scene" picture modes
automatically adjust the camera to the best settings to use for each
shot, so that all you need do is to pick the type of picture you want to
shoot, and the camera does the rest!
For the beginner SLR user who likes to have an idea
of picture results before snapping, with LiveView, white balance,
exposure compensation and depth of field can be conveniently previewed
in real-time on the LCD screen, unlike other conventional digital SLR
cameras that have optical viewfinders only. To help you obtain
accurately focused 'macro' close-up pictures of your favourite flowers,
nature or small detailed objects, the E-410's LiveView screen includes a
powerful zoom magnifier for a comfortably large real-time preview of the
focus area.
Providing upgrading convenience, the Olympus E-410
uses both xD and Compact Flash memory cards. Astoundingly quick memory
card write speeds means no data transfer delays even when the camera is
set to shoot at the highest image quality setting, which means the E-410
will always feel quick and snappy in everyday use.
Incredible picture quality
Featuring a 10 megapixel image-sensor
and an all new picture processing chip, the Olympus E-410 delivers
vibrant yet believable colours with low noise and rich details, even at
higher ISO settings. The high image quality allows for large picture
prints such as wall sized pictures of a favourite family picture, or a
memorable landscape taken on holiday. It also provides convenient
cropping flexibility so that you can choose to use only the part of the
image you want later in editing.
A great camera that comes with great
lenses
Experienced photographers know that a
camera can really only be as good as the lens used with it. Picture
sharpness ultimately depends on the quality of the lens used with the
camera. To this end, the Olympus E-410 is matched with, arguably, the
sharpest 'kit' lenses available today.
A rarity at this price level, the new ultra-compact
wide-angle 14-42mm and telephoto 40-150mm zoom lenses made with special
ED and aspherical optics deliver sharp and detailed pictures even at
wide open apertures. This means that low-light or indoor pictures
without flash, or portrait shots taken at the inevitable open apertures
will be superbly sharp across the whole picture, from the middle of the
image to its edges- quite unlike many average performing entry-level
lenses sold with digital SLR cameras. Close focusing distances of 25cm
and 90cm respectively for each lens provide excellent macro and closeup
photography capabilities.
The Olympus E-410 single and twin lens camera kits
thus offer tremendous value for money, giving the user a superb camera
matched with great lenses, straight from the box!
