imager's pixels.
Standard with the Evolt E300,
the Zuiko Digital 14-45mm f3.5-5.6 lens delivers superb image quality from
edge to edge. Its 3.2x zoom covers a broad range, with close-ups coming
out crisp and clear as near as 15 inches (38 centimeters). A new
multi-coating minimizes ghosting and flaring that can occur, while the
sturdy metal lens mount ensures rugged durability. The lens features 12
elements in 10 groups and a weight of just 9.98 ounces (285 grams).
The interchangeable Zuiko
Digital 40-150mm f3.5-4.5 lens is perfect for everything from portraits to
sports scenes. It features a 3.8x zoom, a f3.5-4.5 brightness for effects
like background blurring and compression, a new multi-coating and reliable
metal lens mount, along with 13 elements in 10 groups and a weight of
approximately 15.75 ounces (450 grams).
Furthermore, the camera's
TruePic TURBO image processor offers significantly improved image quality
and combines with anti-blooming technology on each pixel to eliminate
undesirable artifacts, moiré patterns, and other aberrations that can
appear.

Dust Free
Dust has long been an issue in digital photography. The Evolt E-300
features Olympus's exclusive Supersonic Wave Filter that dramatically
reduces dust and other particles that settle on the image sensor.
Located between the shutter and the CCD, the Supersonic Wave Filter
uses high-speed ultrasonic vibration to cause dust and other
microelements to fall off and be collected and held so they don't
affect photographs. This filter vibrates at 350,000 times per second
and is automatically activated upon powering up the camera (or
manually via the menu) to render dust harmless. This unique technology
provides both the freedom and comfort to shoot and interchange lenses
with the confidence that your images won't be damaged or ruined by
dust ever again. |

Built-In Pop-Up Flash
This new flash design allows close-up flash photography without the
typical "lens shadow." The flash housing pops up and then forward to
better illuminate subjects when using a wide-angle lens at close
shooting distances. |

High Speed
Don't you hate shutter lag? Put an end to annoying waiting times with
the high-speed performance of the Evolt E-300. Because it's equipped
with our TruePic TURBO image processor, the Evolt E-300 is able to
deliver fast image data processing for the files generated by this
powerful digital camera. TruePic TURBO also has a huge impact on
overall camera responsiveness as it accelerates the camera's startup
time, decreases the shutter release lag time so you can capture images
more rapidly, and provides quicker image playback for instant
gratification. The Evolt E-300 also lets you capture fast-paced action
with a quick 2.5-frames-per-second burst mode, and keeps you shooting
fast for longer periods of time with its 64 MB image memory buffer and
separate working memory for camera controls. |

Ever wonder how to achieve the results you want without complicated
and time-consuming camera settings? The Evolt E-300 lets you choose
among 14 shooting options so you can concentrate on your composition
and leave the settings to us. |
Durability
You can't achieve high performance without a highly durable camera. The
Evolt E-300 is built to keep you and your images at an optimum level no
matter where or when you use it, due to its sturdy and reliable design. An
aluminum top cover provides added protection for the camera while giving
it a sophisticated feel. The die-cast aluminum chassis provides a strong
foundation for a camera that can be used in all kinds of conditions. The
metallic lens mount is further evidence of the camera's ruggedness while
also supporting the use of interchangeable lenses, up to the largest
telephotos in the E-System family. It boasts a durable shutter. And its
exclusive Supersonic Wave Filter repels dust and debris from the Evolt
E-300’s 8-megapixel CCD so each and every image you capture is crystal
clear and aberration free, just as you saw it through the lens.
Size
Utilizing new concepts and new technologies, the Evolt E-300 boasts a
radical new body design that makes it incredibly comfortable to hold and
impressively appealing to use. Most digital SLR designs are based on
traditional 35mm camera models. But innovations in digital photography
have enabled us to provide an innovative design that stands out from the
rest. Eliminating the bulky pentaprism commonly found on top of
traditional SLRs, the Evolt E-300 incorporates a new and exclusive Olympus
TTL Optical Porro Finder coupled with an exclusive side swing mirror that
enables the unique flat-top appearance to be realized and increased
portability to be attained.
