Accessories

The stylish retro black metal body of the new E-P2 may be reminiscent of a traditional rangefinder – but there's nothing traditional about this powerful new camera from Olympus. The E-P2 is a 12.3-megapixel interchangeable lens camera, and it blends the high-quality still images of a DSLR with High Definition (HD) video, stereo Linear PCM audio recording and in-camera creativity – all inside an ultra-portable, easy-to-use body. The E-P2 also brings a new twist to the PEN lineup: an accessory port which accommodates the OPTIONAL VF-2 electronic view finder or optional external microphone adapter (SEMA-1).

• ACCESSORY PORT

  The E-P2 incorporates a new port for connecting new OPTIONAL accessories including an optional EMA-1 Microphone adapter and the VF-2 live-finder, a detachable electronic viewfinder that comes with the E-P2. The live-finder easily slides onto the camera's accessory port and hot shoe when needed to provide 1.15x magnification, a 100% field of view with amazing resolution.

• MICRO FOUR THIRDS MOUNT

  The Micro Four Thirds Mount on the E-P2 provides many key benefits, including the effectiveness of a digitally designed image sensor, an ultra-compact design, and expandability and compatibility with all Micro Four Thirds Lenses and Four Thirds System Lens via the MMF-1 Adapter.

• FOUR THIRDS SYSTEM LENS ADAPTER

  Other Four Thirds Format lenses can also be used on the E-P2 with an available MMF-1 Four Thirds System Lens Adapter, including extreme wide-angle fisheye and super-telephoto lenses. This further increases your range of creative options.

• SOUND RECORDING

  The sound recording function of the E-P2 helps you capture all the nuances of classical music, the signing of birds, or any other sounds you want to record. The system is capable of recording and playing back WAV files, and of adding the professional quality sound to digital slide shows.

• 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 6400 ISO.

• IN-BODY IMAGE STABILIZATION

  The camera's In-body Image Stabilization system compensates for up to four shutter speed steps with any of the system's interchangeable lenses. Mechanical Image Stabilization automatically compensates for camera shake in low-light situations or when using a telephoto lens.

• ART FILTERS

  A series of eight built-in Art Filters for replicating countless striking and dramatic effects can be easily activated for both still and video imaging. The innovative Art Filters include Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pale & Light Color, Light Tone, Grainy Film and Pin Hole.

• MULTIPLE EXPOSURE

  Multiple Exposure makes heightened creativity an easily-obtained objective. Two frames can be combined, and portions of one can be combined with those of another in any of the shooting modes. Images can be combined in playback mode or directly on the LCD through the use of the new TruePic V Image Processor.

• 12.3 MEGAPIXEL

  The E-P2's powerful 12.3 megapixel Live-MOS sensor packs a powerful high-quality imaging punch for such a compact camera, allowing you to capture more detail than ever before.

• DIGITAL LEVELER

  The camera's Digital Leveler function is a highly functional and practical feature for such specialized requirements as architectural photography and other similar needs.

• MOVIE MODE

  Shoot movies at 30 frames per second in 720p with available manual control over aperture and shutter speed. This new level of control allows you to express your vision exactly how you want in your HD videos.

• ELECTRONIC IMAGE STABILIZATION

  Electronic Image Stabilization compensates for camera shake while shooting in the movie mode.

• DUST REDUCTION SYSTEM

  A Dust Reduction System assures spot-free images. Every time you turn on the camera, the patented Supersonic Wave Filter silently vibrates, flinging and collecting dust so that it cannot interfere with the picture imaging at any time.

• LIVE VIEW AUTOFOCUS

  With the seamless precision and simplicity of a point-and-shoot, the E-P2's Live View Autofocus system displays the images to be shot in complete focus on the camera's bright LCD the moment the shutter button is pressed half way down.

• MF ASSIST

  For accurate manual focusing, MF Assist can be enabled during S-AF + MF operation. With it you can zoom in on the central part of the image by up to five times by turning the focus ring.

• PERFECT SHOT PREVIEW

  With Perfect Shot Preview, you can preview and select various photographic effects before you take the shot.

• ePORTRAIT

  The ePortrait mode is also useful for smoothing out the facial features of your subjects, which is a tremendous plus for High Definition playback.

• FACE DETECTION

  A Face Detection function reduces the chance of blurry faces when shooting groups of people—up to eight subjects at once—even if they're moving while you're pressing the shutter button.

• SHADOW ADJUSTMENT TECHNOLOGY

  Shadow Adjustment Technology corrects for extreme light variations with high-tech efficiency. It can also be used in post-editing.

• ASPECT RATIOS

  The E-P2 lets you select one of four Aspect Ratios (4:3, 3.2, 16.9 and 6.6) that help frame your images to whatever proportions you'd like, for everything from conventional enlargements to viewing on widescreen monitors.

• FULL MANUAL CONTROL

  Full manual control for all programs and functions, including Aperture and Shutter. Shutter Priority, is at your fingertips whenever it is needed or preferred. Full automatic control is also a button-press away.

• iAUTO

  iAuto identifies your shooting intent (such as macro or action photography) and instantly adjusts the camera settings to achieve the best results.

• SLIDESHOWS

  Slideshows have never been easier or more fun to create. The E-P2's enhanced playback functions allow you to employ effective fade-in/fade-out techniques, add captivating musical soundtracks, and much more.

• BACKGROUND MUSIC

  Choose from five separate background music files to add to your still images or video productions.

• ULTRA-COMPACT BODY

  The E-P2 is the definition of state-of-the-art optical engineering in an ultra-compact body. It weighs just 11.8 ounces and measures just 4.75” (W) x 2.95” (H) x 1.43 (D), so you can to slip into a pocket or purse and to take with you anywhere.

• M. ZUIKO LENSES

  The accompanying Olympus M. ZUIKO lenses are small, lightweight, powerful and precision engineered.

• SDHC MEDIA CARDS

  The E-P2 is capable of recording video to SDHC media cards to accommodate large files. (SDHC Class 6 cards are recommended.) Videos, stills and high-fidelity audio can also be output via HDMI cable-direct to any HD television.

• LIVE CONTROL

  Live Control, an advanced camera management system, allows you to see the image being shot and the camera's controls all at once, on the bright, colorful, high definition 3-inch HyperCrystal LCD. HyperCrystal LCDs offer many times the contrast of conventional LCD monitors, and also provide a wide viewing angle of 176º.

• 19 AUTOMATIC SCENE MODES

  The E-P2 is equipped with 19 scene-select modes for effortless picture taking. Standard scene modes like Night-Scene, Portrait and Landscape are easy-to-use solutions for everyday shooting. Edits can be made in the camera after the pictures are shot using the handy ePortrait Mode.
