What will you create?

In 1959, Olympus designed a camera with the

photographic optics of an SLR and the size

and simplicity of a point-and-shoot—revolutionizing

the way we take pictures. After 50 years, the PEN

is back. And it’s mightier than ever. Introducing

the new Olympus PEN. It’s totally digital, and

offers unique and groundbreaking technology to

a whole new generation of camera users—users

that have active lifestyles both online and off.

They shoot pictures and videos, like to download,

upload and share their lives. And the new PEN

brings this generation the extraordinary abilities to

create even more than what was thought possible.

The PEN provides superior optics, interchangeable

lenses and multimedia capabilities—and combines

the creative freedom of a sophisticated digital SLR

with the simple controls and small size of a point-

and-shoot. The PEN brings new photographic

possibilities to everyone. What will you create?

THE PEN CONCEPT

People always want more from their digital camera.

More power. More creative capabilities. More versatility.

They want the amazing picture quality and abilities of a

DSLR, but not its larger size. At Olympus, our goal was

to develop an interchangeable lens camera as portable as

the original PEN and packed with innovative features.

And with the development of the Micro Four Thirds

System, we’ve created the world’s smallest 12.3-megapixel

interchangeable-lens camera.

REVOLUTIONARY SIZE

In DSLRs, the image is viewed directly through the lens,

reflected by a reflex mirror through a pentaprism, and

seen through the viewfinder. This imaging structure

contributes to the DSLR’s larger size. To reduce body

size and create the PEN, the mirror was eliminated in the

Micro Four Thirds System and the lens-mount diameter

has been reduced by about 6 mm. Using this technology,

the PEN maintains the same image-sensor size as the

conventional Four Thirds System. The result? Much smaller,

slimmer cameras and more compact lenses, without

compromising image quality. Meet the new Olympus PEN.

THE NEW PEN

Start creating with the new E-P1. DSLR quality, compact

portability and multimedia capabilities make it easy to

capture it all. With a 12.3-megapixel high-speed Live MOS

™

Sensor,

new TruePic™ V image-processing engine, Dust

Reduction System and In-body Image Stabilization, the E-P1

delivers DSLR picture quality and performance. And thanks

to Micro Four Thirds technology, you even have the ability

to change lenses. The E-P1 comes packed with unique

features including six Art Filters, HD Movie mode, Linear

PCM audio, in-camera slide show and Multi Aspect Ratio

shooting—providing endless creative capabilities. So
