◆ Five metering modes including a 49-point
AE sensor providing accurate exposure
values for ESP metering using an advanced
evaluation algorithm, as well as conventional
center-weighted average and spot metering
For tricky lighting situations highlight spot
metering (for clean, true whites with detail)
and shadow spot metering (for rich, dark
blacks with detail) is available to give ultra
precise control.
◆ Dedicated auto focus system offers 3
selectable AF points for accurate auto focus
operation. When automatic target zone
selection is active, a superimposed display
confirms the relevant target zone. Focus
modes are set via a manual switch for Single
AF, Continuous AF, and Manual Focus
operation. To ensure successful focusing in
the darkest environments, they utilize an AF
illuminator built into the flash.
◆ Four recording formats offer the flexibility
to control the quality of images and how
they're used. JPEG (for the fastest operation
and greatest number of photos); RAW (for
the highest-quality images); RAW+JPEG
(when you need the flexibility of both); and
TIFF (best image right out of your camera).
◆ Three color parameters to control color
saturation, contrast and sharpness levels
separately for each file. Select from Vivid
(for printer-ready colors, Natural (for true,
accurate colors) or Muted (ideal for Photo-
shop users who enhance and scale images).
◆ Five black-and-white monochrome modes
add dramatic effects to your black-and-
white pictures with tones of yellow, orange,
red, green and normal (no filter).
◆ Create exotic sepia toned photos or add
blue, green or purple tones to your black-
and-white images. Contrast, sharpness and
tone controls allow you to customize set-
tings that best suit your subject.
◆ Two color space settings let you add more
colors and details for commercial work.
Select from sRGB for easy viewing on your
computer and printing on your inkjet or
dye sublimation printer – or Adobe RGB.
◆ AE Lock; exposure compensation of ±5 EV
in ±1, 2/3, or 1/3 EV steps; 3-frame exposure
bracketing in ±1, 2/3, or 1/3 EV steps.
◆ Noise reduction function uses a proprietary
Olympus algorithm to detect and eliminate
the fixed noise that can appear on long-
exposure images.
Evolt E-500 8-Megapixel Digital SLR
The most full-featured digital SLR in it’s class, the 100%
digital E-500 has all the features of the E-330 with
the exception of the ‘Live View’ articulating LCD.
Designed to be used by all photographers of any
skill level, the 8-megapixel E-500’s compact
and
durable body features Dust Reduction
System
for spot-free photos, TruePic
TURBO Image Processor for fast
response time,
and easy-to-view 2.5˝
HyperCrystal LCD.
The E-500 epitomizes the Olympus
tradition of combining maximum
technical performance with exceptional
design. This especially applies to operability. Perfect ergonomics enable intuitive handling
which even lets beginners get the hang of things quickly so they can start shooting
immediately. From a technical perspective, the E-500 offers all manual and automatic
functions required for professional D-SLR applications. In terms of size and weight, it is
easier than ever before to take this camera along on holidays, assignments or wherever
you might need it.
Dust Free Technology for Spot-Free Photos
You rarely get a second
chance in photography.
The ideal moment is
unrepeatable. Yet the tiniest
spec of dust entering the
camera during a lens change
could ruin a perfect photo.
Since dust is all around us,
when swapping out a lens
on a digital SLR camera
there’s a chance that a
camera’s electro-statically charged image sensor will attract micro dust that can ruin photos.
In analog cameras, the dust particles were transported away as the film was wound on. This
meant that usually only one picture was affected. In contrast, dust landing on the image sensor of
a digital camera stays where it is – and more will join it over time. Even the smallest particle can
cover hundreds of pixels. This results in image flaws that must be corrected through subsequent
editing. In addition, photographers must endure the time and expense associated with regular
professional cleaning that consequently becomes necessary – which sometimes even requires the
camera to be sent away for servicing. Since the main advantage of using an SLR camera is the
ability to change lenses for better imaging effects, Olympus developed a way for photographers to
change lenses in the most challenging, dusty environments without compromising image quality.
Olympus’ Dust Reduction System produces spot-free photos with the exclusive Supersonic Wave
Filter, a patented ultrasonic technology that removes dust from in front of the camera sensor.
These spot-free photos liberate users from hours spent retouching photographs at the computer.
All Evolt E-Series cameras are equipped with this exclusive user-friendly technology. Each time
the E-330, E-410, E-500 or E510 are turned on, the system goes into action. The Super Sonic Wave
Filter vibrates 35,000 times a second, shaking dust loose from the image sensor –dust particles are
shaken off within milliseconds— then captured on a special adhesive membrane within the camera,
preventing their appearance on your photographs.
