Olympus Pen E-PL6 Compact System Camera - Black (16.1 MP, M.ZUIKO Digital 14-42 mm II R Lens Kit) 3-Inch Tilt Touch Panel LCD

Product Information

We did notice some peculiarities with how the camera handled exposure. In Auto mode, the camera often tended to use faster shutter speeds, boosting the ISO as needed to obtain the correct brightness. While this reduces the risk of camera shake and can freeze fast action, it also increases the amount of noise, which in return lowers detail capture. However, in Program mode, the camera often chose to leave the ISO alone and use slower shutter speeds and smaller apertures, which brings everything in focus but ends up delivering softer images. By combining the FAST AF system that made Olympus's flagship model, the OM-D E-M5, the world's fastest *2 with the Touch AF Shutter function, which allows users to take a picture by touching the Live View screen, users can now enjoy capturing the moment they want, wherever the subject is positioned, with instantaneous autofocus. For the touchscreen, a capacitance touch panel is used, allowing the immediate reaction to even the lightest touch. Outstanding image quality thanks to the 16.1 Megapixel Live MOS sensor and TruePic VI image processor Additionally, if you’ve mounted a zoom lens that’s electronically controlled, it will automatically zoom out to fit your face in the scene. The screen also tilts upwards, making it useful when you want to shoot from a slightly awkward angle.

When these images are shared, the difference in quality is even more striking: Post a picture of a moving subject shot in poor light on a smartphone, then count the likes. There’s no better argument for the PENand its versatile ISO settings.The number of storable pictures in this table differs from the number of remaining pictures displayed on the LCD. This table shows the approximate number, but the camera shows the maximum ( up to 9999 ). The camera features the image rotation function that detects whether the camera is in the horizontal or vertical position. This improves the joy and comfort of picture browsing. Co se výbavy týče tak je na tom E-PL6 v podstatě stejně jako o dvě třidy pokročilejší, profesionální model Olympus E-M5 OMD. Samozřejmě je v odlehčeném a kompaktnějším těle a bez hledáčku. Konstrukčně jde v podstatě o přímého pokračovatele oblíbeného modelu E-PL5, proti kterému se ale dočkal několika zásadních vylepšení. K těm nejdůležitějším patří především citlivost ISO LOW, která v tomto režimu klesne z hodnoty 200 na ISO 100. Maximální citlivost je stejně jako u ostatních pokročilých fotoaparátů ISO 25.600. If you know a bit more about photography you can adjust on-screen settings via the OK button. It brings up a side menu that allows you to control the stabilization mode, color output, white balance, drive mode, aspect ratio, still and video quality, flash settings and compensation, the metering pattern, autofocus mode, and ISO. You can also toggle face and eye detection and the internal microphone.

Considering that Olympus didn’t even mention the E-PL8 during its press conference at Photokina, it isn’t clear how much importance the company is placing upon this camera. However, considering the growing market of bloggers, the E-PL8 could prove a very important camera for the company. Represents real space in a more imaginary way by applying unrealistic tones of light and darkness based on local changes in contrast.Digital ESP metering (324-area multi pattern metering), Center weighted average metering, Spot metering, Spot metering with highlight control, Spot metering with shadow control

Creates the look of a miniature diorama by enhancing color and contrast, and blurring the periphery to distort distance perception. The LCD monitor also features an anti-fingerprint coating that protects it from fingerprints and dirt, a viewing angle that extends 176° from all directions and improved color reproduction. Optical resin is used to hermetically seal an air layer, reducing internal reflection, so the monitor is easy and comfortable to use even for outdoor shooting. The E-PL10's 'Natural' color mode has a well-judged level of saturation, giving attractive color to images Unfortunately, there’s no viewfinder with the E-PL8 as standard. Again, this is a clear indication that Olympus is targeting this camera at those more familiar taking photos with their smartphone. If you really feel you’re missing one, however, then there is an optional external EVF that can be bought separately. The maximum file size of a movie is 22 min. ( in Full HD Fine mode ) or 29 min. ( in Full HD Normal or HD mode ).AUTO: ISO Low (100) - 25600 (customizable, Default 100-1600) / Manual ISO Low (100) - 25600, 1/3 or 1 EV steps selectable At low ISO settings the camera renders detail well, though noise reduction starts to smooth it away at higher ISOs The world's shortest distance between the mount and the front end of the lens, when retracted. 3x standard zoom lens for mirrorless cameras. According to Olympus research, as of Jan 29, 2014. The following table shows the approximate values when shooting still pictures in the 4:3 aspect ratio.

I’ve not yet been able to test the E-PL8 to get an indication of image quality. However, considering that many of the changes have been to the exterior of the camera, and to the tilting screen, image quality is likely to match the previous generation of camera.Scene (Portrait, e-Portrait, Landscape, Landscape + Portrait, Sport, Night, Night + Portrait, Children, High Key, Low Key, DIS mode, Macro, Nature Macro, Candle, Sunset, Documents, Panorama, Fireworks, Beach & Snow, Fisheye Conv., Wide Conv., Macro Conv., 3D Still (using H-FT012 3D lens only); Art Filters (Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pale & Light Color, Light Tone, Grainy Film, Pin Hole, Diorama, Cross Process, Gentle Sepia, Dramatic Tone, Key Line, Water Color); Gradation (Auto, Normal, High Key, Low Key); Multiple Exposure (2 frames) When a movie is recorded using an Art Filter, the number of frames and presence/absence of audio and Art Effects may vary depending on the Art Filter used. A small AF target mode can be selected in addition to the existing 35-point area selection AF, group target AF or standard single-target AF. This enables more precise pinpoint focusing for smaller subjects.
