compact: A completely digital SLR system that satisfies professional demands. Four features were given priority in the development of the new Olympus E-500: maximum image quality, a flawless cleaning system for the hypersensitive image sensor, ease of use and a compact design. Based on the FourThirds Standard, the E-500 already boasts a wide range of accessories for virtually any demand, including lenses specifically designed for use in digital photography to guarantee optimum performance.
clean: "Supersonic Wave Filter" – the unique dust-protection system from Olympus. In photography, it’s rare to get a second chance to take the shot. If the moment is missed, it’s gone. The most captivating picture can be ruined by the tiniest of dust particles that enter the camera body during lens changes. In analogue cameras, dust particles move with the film as it winds forward so that in most cases only one single picture is affected.
credible: 25 Scene Modes The E-500 boasts a total of 25 selectable scene modes that cover the gamut of needs from full manual control through to pre-defined automatic settings for specific shooting situations. 4 versatile exposure modes: M S A P Programmed Auto with programme shift (Ps), Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, Manual. 6 creative exposure modes: Automatic, Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sport and Night Scene/Portrait.
complete: Specially-developed lenses for the digital Olympus E-System guarantee optimal image quality.
