Spotless Pictures Olympus is the only digital camera manufacturer that has a proven anti-dust system. Our exclusive Supersonic Wave Filter™ vibrates 35,000 times per second to eliminate dust from the image sensor, along with any concern you'll ever have about changing lenses ... anywhere. With the EVOLT E-500 you can be confident that you’ll get spot-free pictures, every time. Advanced 8 Megapixel CCD The full-frame transfer CCD is designed to capture more information from each individual pixel to help you receive brilliant results from edge-to-edge with a full range of color, contrast and detail. |
Features
 |
Patented and proven Dust Reduction System uses our Supersonic Wave Filter (SWF) to loosen and remove any and all dust and debris from the image |
| sensor. The SWF vibrates at a rate of 35,000 times per second upon start-up as well as when manually activated - and is unnoticeable to the user - for clear, aberration-free images. This removal of dust also means you never have to worry about changing lenses because if anything gets in, the SWF will get it out. | |
|
The advanced 8 megapixel full frame transfer CCD uses less space on the chip for data transfer and instead utilizes more of the pixel area to capture data, |
| thereby resulting in images with a higher sensitivity, higher dynamic range, lower noise and better overall quality. | |
|
Capture sharp, detailed photos quickly. The exclusive TruePic TURBO Image Processor provides accelerated performance such as a faster start-up time, |
| rapid shot-to-shot speed, and quicker playback of smooth, detail-rich photos. | |
|
Get great photos while barely lifting a finger with 15 scene modes. Just select the one you want from the menu - Beach and Snow, Portrait, Landscape, Sports |
| and more - and press the shutter button. That's it. | |
|
For a bit more say in your photos' appearance, choose between 6 basic modes (Auto, Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene Portrait, Macro, and Sports) while still |
| leaving the aperture and shutter speed settings to the camera itself. | |
|
Exercise total control with creative modes like Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual. |
|
A large, high-resolution 2.5" LCD provides a big canvas with which to review and share pictures and features HyperCrystal technology so you can even do so |
| up to a 160-degree viewing angle, left to right and up and down. The big screen also makes it easier to use the menu, identify icons and adjust settings. | |
|
Compatible with the largest selection of digital specific lenses anywhere. Each Zuiko lens is precision-crafted to deliver pristine images and is perfectly |
| matched to the camera's image sensor for amazing sharpness and color from one edge of the image to the other. | |
|
Shoot using any of five metering modes including the new 49-point Digital ESP metering, center-weighted average metering, spot metering, highlight spot |
| metering (for clean, true whites with detail), and shadow spot metering (for rich blacks with detail). | |
|
Add dramatic effects of color to your black-and-white pictures such as sepia, blue, green, and purple using Black-and-White filter modes. |
|
