This XZ-1 10MP Digital Camera from Olympus
is is a compact camera that delivers exceptional picture
quality--beautiful 10MP photos and dazzling 720p HD video with its super
bright 4x wide-angle 28-112mm (equivalent) f/1.8 zoom lens and large
1/6.3" CCD sensor. Using the brilliant 3" OLED monitor with 610K dots of
resolution, you can compose and view photos, knowing that the dual
image stabilization and ISO up to 3200 will chase away those
blurry-picture blues.
Six in-camera art filters--Pop Art, Soft Focus, Grainy Film, Pin
Hole, Diorama and Dramatic Tone--help bring out your artistic side in
stills and video. A panorama mode allows you to produce amazing ultra
wide-angle panoramas by just shooting three pictures while you slowly
sweep the camera across the scene--no tripod required. An accessory port
allows the use of the SEMA-1 microphone adapter set and the VF-2
electronic viewfinder (both available separately), while advanced Face
Detection improves on every portrait and AF tracking helps you keep
moving subjects always sharp and in-focus.
All of this photographic goodness comes in a compact body that's less
than 4.5" wide and less than 2" thick, and weighs less than 10 oz.
- 10 Megapixels
- The 10 million pixels in the high-resolution CCD create superior
image quality. Create poster-sized prints without losing a single
detail.
- Large, High-Sensitivity CCD
- Providing the best image quality ever in a compact Olympus camera,
the large 1/1.63-inch CCD enables greater dynamic range and smoother
gradations from highlights to shadows.
- 4X iZuiko Zoom Lens
- Based on the standards of Olympus DSLR lenses, the wide aperture of
the iZuiko f1.8-2.5 allows a rich and vibrant range of photographic
expression. It allows faster shutter speeds in low light - and it allows
for a shallower depth of field than most compact point-and-shoot
cameras.
- HD Movie 720p
- A simple, one-touch button allows you to record movies with amazing clarity in high-definition, right from your camera.
- Accessory Port
- The XZ-1 includes a port for accessories including the SEMA-1
Microphone adapter set and the VF-2 live-finder, a detachable electronic
viewfinder. The viewfinder easily slides onto the camera's accessory
port and hot shoe to provide 1.15x magnification for a 100% field of
view. The VF-2 rotates up 90 degrees which is useful when shooting
subjects from challenging angles. The external accessory port also
allows for connection with the SEMA-1 external microphone adapter set
for enhanced audio capture.
- In-Camera Art Filters-Movie and Still Images
- With six in-camera Art Filters (Pop Art, Soft Focus, Grainy Film,
Pin Hole, Diorama and Dramatic Tone) you can explore your artistic side
while taking both still shots and HD video. The Art Filters can be
applied as you shoot, no additional software required.
- New Easy-to-Use Live Guide Control
- Seeing the results before you shoot can change the way you take a
picture. Want more vivid or muted color in your shot? Want warmer or
cooler hues? Want a brighter or darker subject, or a sharper or softer
background? Or maybe you want to capture the fast-moving action of your
subject with a little artistic blur, or perhaps freeze the action?
Simply set the camera to iAuto, press OK to engage Live Guide, then
press the up and down arrows on the back of the E-PL1 to easily slide
through numerous photographic effects. Make adjustments and watch the
LCD as the effects are made live -- before the image is captured! Live
Guide also features a Tips section on how to compose a shot or shoot
kids, pets, flowers and more.
- Dual Image Stabilization
- Dual Image Stabilization combines Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization
with high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds so you can capture
crisp, clear images even if the subject is moving.
- In-Camera Panorama
- Captures three images and stitches them together to create one
amazing panoramic picture by simply pressing the shutter button and
slowly panning across a panoramic scene.
- AF Live View With AF Tracking
- F Live View works as seamlessly as a point-and-shoot to display
subjects, in focus, on the LCD the instant the shutter is pressed half
way. AF Tracking locks your subject into focus right on the LCD, and
constantly adjusts focus and brightness whether you or your subject is
moving. With this mode, a simple push of the AF button and shutter
release enables you to keep fast-moving and unpredictable subjects in
focus.
- Advanced Face Detection
- Face Detection automatically focuses on your subjects' faces and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures.
- TruePic V Image Processor
- In addition to more detail, the image sensor, combined with the
next-generation TruePic V Image Processor, delivers excellent dynamic
range, accurate color fidelity and reduced noise, all the way up to 3200
ISO.
