Incredible Power.
Fans of the award-winning Olympus
PEN® family of cameras now have the new Flagship Olympus PEN
E-P3: the ultimate PEN for visual expression. Designed for
photographers who want total control over their creative vision with
a camera portable enough to travel the world, the powerful Olympus
PEN
E-P3 delivers professional image quality, the world’s fastest
auto focus, built-in creative features, and a new
OLED touch screen in a classic, all-metal body with fully
advanced controls.
Salient Features for Olympus PEN
E-P3 Digital Camera
FAST SHUTTER RESPONSE
Never miss a shot again with the
E-P3’s fast shutter response time of less than 60
milliseconds. The
TruePic VI feature allows for reduced shot-to-shot time by
shortening the black-out time between shots.
ACCESSORY PORT
The
E-P3 incorporates a port for connecting accessories including
flashes, MAL-1 Macro Light,
EMA-1 Microphone adapter,
PENPAL® Bluetooth Communication device, and the VF-2
viewfinder.
EXPANDABLE SYSTEM
A range of interchangeable lenses, accessories and strobes are
compatible with the
E-P3 to support all different types of photography needs.
MULTIPLE EXPOSURE SHOOTING
The Multiple Exposure function enables you to be creative right in
the camera. Multiple images can be captured and combined to create
one unique image. The creative possibilities are endless!
ADDITIONAL ASPECT RATIOS
The
E-P3 lets you select one of five Aspect Ratios (4:3 / 3:2 /
16:9 / 6:6 / 3:4) that frame your images to whatever proportions
you'd like, for everything from conventional enlargements to viewing
on widescreen monitors.
ADVANCED SHADOW ADJUSTMENT
TECHNOLOGY
You no longer need to worry about the extreme contrast between dark
and bright areas in your images. The
E-P3's Shadow Adjustment Technology corrects for extreme
light variations with high-tech efficiency either before image
capture or during post-capture edits.
WIRELESS COMPATIBILITY
No need for cables or even a computer. Upload or email images
directly from your camera with an optional PP-1
PENPAL® or
Eye-Fi™ card. The
E-P3 is also capable of recording stills and video to SD,
SDHC,
SDXC and
UHS-I media cards.
FACE DETECTION WITH EYE DETECT AF
Nail the focus for every portrait photo, every time. The new face
detection AF employs an "Eye Detect AF" that adjusts focus
automatically on the subject's eyes during portrait shooting and can
even be adjusted to focus on the right, left or near-side eye. The
Face Detection function captures up to eight faces, reducing the
chance of blurred subjects when shooting several people at once.
LIVE VIEW MAGNIFICATION
For accurate manual focusing, MF Assist can be enabled during S-AF +
MF operation. With it you can zoom in on the central part of the
image by up to five times by turning the focus ring.
IAUTO WITH
IENHANCE
iAuto automatically identifies the scene you're shooting –
portrait, landscape, night portrait, macro, or sport – and adjusts
the settings to optimize results.
iEnhance enriches color in any subject, just as the human eye
sees it, and can be used in any mode.
EPORTRAIT
Capturing beautiful portraits is easy with the
ePortrait Mode that enables you to soften shadows and smooth
your subject’s complexion either before image capture or during
post-capture edits.
LIVE GUIDE
The
E-P3’s Live Guide system allows you to preview effects as you
adjust them – before the image is even captured. Simply select Live
Guide and turn the wheel on the back of the camera to slide through
numerous photographic effects, such as brightness, color saturation,
tone, etc.
LIVE CONTROL
With the
E-P3 you are in full control of all functions and imaging
decisions—with split-second accuracy. Live Control, an advanced
control panel system, allows you to see the image and the controls
all at once. Whether using full manual control or all the automatic
features, first-time users will feel like pros, and pros will create
still images or videos that continue to push their own boundaries of
creativity.
23 SCENE-SELECT MODES
From portraits to sunset shots, the
E-P3 is equipped with 23 Scene-Select modes for effortless
picture taking, including Fireworks, Sunset, Children, Macro and
Panorama, to name a few. There are even three scene modes that are
specific to shooting with Olympus’ conversion lenses to optimize the
performance of those lenses.
