Olympus E620 - Evolt 12.3MP Live MOS Digital SLR... User manual

The world’s smallest and lightest image-
stabilized DSLR puts creativity in the
palm of your hands. DSLR users, passionate
photographers and anyone looking to express
creativity through photography, meet the
E-620. Six creative in-camera Art Filters,
Multiple Exposure feature and swivel Live
View 2.7"HyperCrystal III LCD offer artistic
freedom and endless creative possibilities. Six
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-620 is a camera
that truly lets you shoot outside the frame.
Every photographer has a vision.
The E-620 has six.
Six 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
• Pale & Light Color: brings soft, flat light
and pastel coloring to photographs
• Grainy Film: produces a gritty black-and-
white film quality
• Light Tone: brightens the image and its
darker areas, providing more detail
• Pin Hole: darkens the outer edges of a
photograph, enhancing the subject in the
center and bringing the photograph to life
Multiple Exposure with Live View.
The E-620’s Live View Multiple Exposure
feature takes photographic creativity even
further. Capture your best shots and overlay
them to create a multiple exposure. Shoot
and compose in Live View or during playback
mode and overlay images to create unique
photographs that tell a story.
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-620’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-620 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-620 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.
Enhance your vision even more.
The E-620 is available body only, with an
ED 14-42mm lens (equivalent to 24-84mm
focal length) or as a two-lens outfit with both
the ED 14-42mm lens and ED 40-150mm
lens (equivalent to 28-300mm focal length).
The E-620 is also compatible with all
Olympus ZUIKO™digital lenses.
Capture it all with
innovative technology.
• Capture pictures with a 2.7" high-resolution
HyperCrystal III 270° swivel LCD, with
viewing angles up to 176°.
• Face Detection finds, focuses on and captures
up to eight faces for sharper, clearer portraits
in the Live View AF mode.
• The E-620 is compatible with Olympus
wireless electronic flashes and can control up
to three wireless flash groups for professional
lighting results.
• Four aspect ratios to frame your shot exactly
how you want it—from 4:3 to 16:9 for
multiple viewing options.
• Olympus’ proven Dust Reduction System
ensures crystal-clear, spot-free photos.
