Olympus E-600 User Manual

Introducing the Olympus E-600 Digital SLR. Shoot outside the frame.

Creativity is now in the palm of
your hands. DSLR users, passionate

photographers and anyone looking to
express creativity through
photography, meet the E-600. Three
creative in-camera Art Filters and
swivel Live View 2.7"HyperCrystal III
LCD offer artistic freedom and endless
creative possibilities. Three Art Filters
enable you to manipulate a photo
right in the camera instead of on a
computer—giving you the ability to
be as creative as you want, whenever
you want. The 12.3-megapixel Live
MOS sensor and TruePic III+
processor provide exceptional picture
quality. And with its other unique
features, including three modes of
In-body Image Stabilization and small

16.79-ounce body, the E-600 is a
camera that truly lets you shoot
outside the frame.

Art Filters for Expanded
Creative Control

Three in-camera Art Filters transform
your photography into works of art.

• Pop Art: super-saturates colors,
creating brighter, more vivid
photographs

• Soft Focus: creates a dream-like
quality giving photographs a
fantasy feel

• Pin Hole: darkens the outer edges
of a photograph, enhancing the
subject in the center and bringing
the photograph to life

Superior color.
Superior performance.

A 12.3-megapixel Live MOS sensor
provides accurate color, sharp detail
and is complemented by Olympus’
high-speed TruePic III+ image
processing engine for even more
accurate, natural color, superior detail,
low noise and faster startup time.

The speed to capture it all.

The E-600’s 7-point twin AF system
provides fast and accurate focusing.
Five Super-sensitive Twin Cross and
two Twin AF target points measure
and focus vertically and horizontally
so focusing, composing and capturing
a photo is fast and simple. And with
advanced Phase Detection AF,
shooting movement, action and in
low-light situations is just as easy.
When shooting in the Live View AF
mode, the E-600 utilizes an 11-point
Contrast AF (Imager AF) for fast and
accurate focusing on the LCD.

Shoot with a steady hand.

Free your photography from blurry
images with in-body Image

Stabilization. With three IS modes, the
E-600 compensates for camera shake
vertically, horizontally or in multiple
directions. Take clear, sharp
photographs in any situation—with
any Four-Thirds lens, in low light or
even at slow shutter speeds.
