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
