Olympus EVOLT E-500 Digital Camera Body Only Features
Patented Dust Reduction System. This feature 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 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. Best of all, this feature is unnoticeable to the user.
8 Megapixel CCD. 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.
TruePic TURBO Image Processor. 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.
Bright 2.5" Hypercrystal LCD Screen. View and share pictures with outstanding color and contrast (up to a 160-degree viewing angle, from left to right and up and down) on this super high resolution 2.5" HyperCrystal LCD that makes pictures stand out and menu options and icons simple to see.
15 Scene Modes. Get great photos while barely lifting a finger with 15 scene modes. Just select the one you want from the menu, such as Beach and Snow, Portrait, Landscape, Sports and more, and press the shutter button. It's that easy!
5 Metering Modes. 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).
