SHOWN ACTUAL SIZE
WITH PENPAL
The power of a DSLR. The simplicity of a
point-and-shoot. The clarity of an HD
Camcorder. And now, new features to make
framing, shooting and recording even easier,
more accurate, and more personal. The new
PENPAL Bluetooth
®
Communication Device
accessory makes your images and movies
more accessible – share, save, and store
wirelessly. The Olympus PEN
®
– the best of
all worlds in one powerfully simple package.

Pro-quality performance.
Pro-quality images.
Shoot what you see. Get the nuances. Get real color.
Get the exceptional performance of the E-PL2’s 12.3
megapixel Live MOS image sensor – 8 times larger
than the average point-and-shoot sensor. Now, capture
pro-quality DSLR images in an easy-to-carry body.
The E-PL2’s mode dial lets you express your creative
vision more freely. Control shutter speed, depth of field,
and color as much as you want while easily navigating
between Manual, Shutter Priority AE, Aperture Priority
AE, and Program AE. Shoot like an expert or take away
the guesswork with iAuto or Scene Select – either way,
the result is incredible images!
The creative freedom you want
with point-and-shoot simplicity.
Advanced Live Guide lets you see your image before
you shoot and adjust it for the best result live on
screen. Choose your effect – from brightness to blur
background – and see the results before you take
the shot. Live Guide works in movie shooting too –
easily slide through numerous effects to capture the
scene perfectly. With Live Guide, you can focus on
your subject instead of your settings.
One touch and you’re shooting in HD!
Move from stills to HD faster than you can blink. Just hit
the Direct HD Movie button and you’re shooting at 30fps
with 720 HD resolution. The E-PL2 allows you to mix stills,
movie and music to create your own multi-media event
right in the camera. You can even apply Art Filters to
your movies.
A variety of Compact Micro Four Thirds lens options
deliver uncompromising image quality and sharpness,
so capturing amazing still images and HD video just got
a lot more fun!
The new Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) motors feature
high speed silent autofocusing for crisp images and
silent transitions in still and movie photography.
NEW! Dramatic Tone Art Filter and Filter Effects
Add intensity to your images with deeper colors and sharper contrast.
Also choose from a selection of additional art effects, right in the camera,
such as a frame around your image.
