First Look: Olympus E-30
Aimed squarely at enthusiasts, the latest SLR from Olympus offers several unique capabilities for creative expression
|
The new E-30 fits into the Olympus D-SLR line-up between the pro E-3 and advanced-amateur E-520 models, but closer to the E-3. It offers the most megapixels of any Olympus D-SLR and is loaded with features aimed at the creative artist who likes to go beyond the straight shot. Like the E-3 and E-520, the E-30 incorporates sensor-shift image stabilization that works with all lenses. And like all Olympus E-System D-SLRs, the E-30 offers the proven Olympus-pioneered Supersonic Wave Filter sensor-dust reduction system, Shadow Adjustment Technology (automatically controls shadows and highlights) and multiple wireless flash capability.
| Other Features |
| Art Effect Filters The E-30 provides six Art Effect Filters. The Soft Focus filter produces a dreamy diffusion effect; the Pop Art filter emphasizes bright colors for a hyper-saturated look; the Grainy Film filter produces a grainy, high-contrast monochrome image; the Pale & Light filter produces a now-popular desaturated effect; the Pin Hole filter gives a vignetted “toy-camera” look; and the Light Tone filter produces a soft-lit effect. Art Filters are activated via the camera’s mode dial, and their effects can be seen in real-time on the Live View LCD monitor. |
| Live View Multi-Exposure The E-30 makes multiple-exposure composite photos easy. Just call up a saved image on the Live View monitor, then record a new image onto it. You also can merge recorded RAW images in-camera using the Multiple Exposure edit mode. You can combine up to four images into a single photo with this feature. |
