This camera follows on from the E-PL1 that has been out for a year. This newer model keeps its price down by using a light and small plastic chassis. There have been many changes, however, including the three inch LCD screen. It is now of a higher resolution than before, and includes an HD movie mode. This camera has many other great features, including a circular Live Wheel feature on the back. There is also a new version of the 14-42mm kit lens, as well as a Dramatic Tone art filter and an ISO range of 200-6400. This is a wide range, and will allow users to take pictures in lots of different lights.
You can take really arty photos with this camera. You can be really proud of what you create, displaying them on your walls so that you can show them off to guests, or see them while playing partypoker. One of the most noticeable changes that this new model features is in the lens that comes with it. This is now smaller, lighter, shorter and slimmer which means that there is more room for a larger hand grip. This camera also includes the modes of Spot Metering and Pixel Mapping, which are taken from Olympus’ DSLR cameras.
Among the great things that you can do with this camera is the Multiple Exposure function. With this, a composite can be created by superimposing two images onto each other. There are also six great Art filters on this camera, which are Grainy Film, Pop Art, Soft Focus, Dramatic Tone, Diorama and Pin Hole. One advantage is that you can see what these effects will look like before even taking the shot. They are applied immediately, so that you can gain an impression of your finished product.
