Olympus EVOLT E-300 Digital SLR Camera
Press Release
100%
“Designed-for-Digital” SLR for All Consumers Packs Dust
Protection and an 8-Megapixel Imaging Sensor into Innovative Compact,
Low-Profile “Flat-Top” Body for World-Class Image Quality
Melville, New
York, September 27, 2004 – The Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera
has remained essentially the same in both form and function for
decades, becoming the high-performance workhorse of choice for
both amateur and professional photographers worldwide. But much
has changed since the first film SLR debuted all those years ago.
Today, the pervasiveness of digital technology has forever altered
photography, freeing Olympus from the limitations of traditional
film SLR camera designs to be more innovative when building the
next generation SLR for the digital age.
The result is
the Olympus EVOLT E-300 Digital SLR, the first 100 percent “digital-from-the-ground-up”
consumer SLR system with interchangeable digital specific lenses.
Incorporating a newly design compact body featuring the Dust Reduction
system pioneered on the professional E-1 SLR body, the EVOLT delivers
the versatility, durability and reliable performance of an SLR
that isn't just for the pros – now it's for photographers
of all skill levels at a price they can afford.
Designed
To Break the Mold
The EVOLT looks like no other digital SLR. Because it is not bound
by the conventions of traditional SLR film camera designs that
have remained static for more than 30 years, the EVOLT has a radical
new body shape that reduces height by eliminating the bulky pentaprism
commonly found on the top of traditional SLR cameras. In place
of the pentaprism design, the camera incorporates the new, exclusive
Olympus TTL Optical Porro Finder coupled with an exclusive side
swing mirror box, that gives the camera its unique “flat-top”
appearance and makes it more compact for greater portability.
Subjects framed
within the EVOLT optical viewfinder are 94% centered for accurate
composition. And because it's an SLR, when you look through the
viewfinder you're seeing through the lens itself what will be
photographed.
A new built-in
flash mechanism that slides the EVOLT flash forward as it pops
up also contributes to the camera's low overall height and makes
it possible to achieve both an adequate angle of illumination
and a low profile body design. In addition, because the flash
slides to the front of the camera body, it offers broad, even
flash coverage without the shadow vignette from the lens when
shooting close up.
A Digital
Lens For The Digital Age
Most other digital SLR cameras use traditional 35mm film lenses
on digital bodies. But since those lenses are based on designs
from the beginning of the last century for film and not for pixels,
they deliver insufficient light at the edges of a digital camera's
image sensor. This can result in reduced sharpness and color definition,
particularly when shooting with wide-angle lenses . The EVOLT
does not have this problem, because it accommodates the full line
of interchangeable Zuiko Digital Specific Lenses™ designed
specifically for digital capture with smart technology that allows
the lenses to communicate with the camera to ensure the best possible
image quality.
Olympus dedicated
digital optics paired with the 100% digital EVOLT E-300 render
sharpness and contrast more consistently at any given f-stop.
The lenses are matched to the Four Thirds System standard image
sensor for the optimal balance between image quality, camera and
lens size, and expandability. With an array of digital specific
lenses to choose from that are smaller and lighter than comparable
35mm film lenses, it's easy to select the ideal instruments to
bring along when you don't want to lug a lot of heavy, bulky gear.
The EVOLT E-300
outfit includes a compact, Zuiko Digital 14 – 45mm f3.5 –
f5.6 Lens (equivalent to 28mm – 90mm in 35mm photography)
that perfectly matches the imager so light strikes the sensor
directly to ensure rich, accurate colors and edge-to-edge sharpness.
Its 3.2x zoom covers the range most frequently used in ordinary
photography and weighs just 10 ounces (285 grams) offering users
an extremely dynamic, portable everyday-use zoom. Close-ups as
near as 15 inches (38cm) are possible throughout the zoom range.
Supersonic
Wave Filter Leaves Other Digital SLR Cameras In the Dust
A common problem with interchangeable lens digital SLR cameras
is dust settling on the image sensor. The EVOLT features an Olympus
exclusive patented ultrasonic technology, the Supersonic Wave
Filter™, to reduce the effects of micro dust settling on
the image sensor and impacting the image quality. Located between
the shutter and the CCD, the Supersonic Wave Filter uses high-speed
ultrasonic vibration to cause most types of dust to fall away
from the image sensor so it will not appear in photographs. The
filter vibrates at 350,000 times per second and is activated every
time the camera powers on, or manually via a menu selection ,
to instantly remove the dust from in front of the image sensor.
The CCD assembly is isolated from the Supersonic Wave Filter by
an airtight seal to protect it even more. This unique Olympus
feature gives photographers the confidence to shoot photos and
change lenses in the field, just as they've always done, without
the worry of images being damaged or ruined by dust on the imager.
Designed
for Durability
An SLR should feel rugged enough to go out into the wilderness
and even be propped up against a tree to get that perfect nature
shot when a tripod isn't available. It should be strong enough
to attach your largest lens without giving the impression that
it could snap off at any moment. The EVOLT has an aluminum top
cover on the top of the camera for extra-added protection, and
a die-cast aluminum chassis inside to assure durability. The lens
mount is steel and is designed for rugged use, so you can have
confidence in your camera no matter where you take it or what
lens you use.
Designed
for The Best Image Quality
Olympus knows that image excellence relies on the combination
of a high quality digital specific lens matched to the image sensor.
Of equal importance is a camera exposure mode system that's easy
and automatic for the first time user and customizable to ensure
the optimum results for the experienced photographer. Matched
to the TruePic TURBO™ Image Processor for more realistic
color, low noise, and lightning-fast startup and shot-to-shot
times – you won't miss a photo opportunity. With the EVOLT,
photographers will feel confident that their SLR delivers world-class
images.
New 8 Megapixel
FTT-CCD Offers More Photographic Choices
Loaded with an impressive 8 million pixels resolution, the EVOLT
grants photographers the flexibility to blow up their prints to
the large sizes supported by today's printers, or crop into an
image to print only a section without losing clarity in the final
result. Moreover, the image sensor in the EVOLT is a high-performance
Full Frame Transfer KODAK KAF-8300CE CCD™ that delivers improved
dynamic range, low system noise to capture fine image details
in the highlight and shadow areas, as well as excellent color
fidelity for brilliant colors.
Basic Interline
CCD sensors are designed with a path or “highway” to
move data. This highway takes up valuable real estate that could
be used for image capture and reduces the size of the photodiode
in each pixel. But the EVOLT Full Frame Transfer CCD transfers
image data via a Vertical Charge Register that is a fraction of
the size of an Interline highway. In fact, the active pixel area
of the Full Frame Transfer CCD is 1.5 times larger than a common
Interline CCD of equal size. Because each pixel uses more space
to capture image data, a broader range of tonal values can be
rendered in the final image.
Anti-blooming
technology on each pixel, along with the exclusive Olympus TruePic
TURBO Image Processor, helps to eliminate undesirable “artifacts”,
“stepping”, “purple fringing” or “moiré”
in an image.
Designed
for Straight Out-of-the-Box Operation
Creating a digital SLR that most anyone can pick up and start
to use isn't just about making it more affordable for the masses
so they'll purchase it; it's about making it easier to operate.
That means embedding menus that make sense and arraying buttons
on the body that are intuitive to operate; adding automatic settings
for every imaginable situation; making the LCD big and bright
enough so you can review a shot without squinting; and making
it less of a chore to get images out of the camera and into your
computer or printer.
You don't need
a degree in photography to shoot like a pro with the EVOLT. Just
take it home, charge the Li-ion battery with the included BCM-2
charger, and begin taking photos without even opening a manual.
Instead of working to find the right settings for the subject,
select from one of the camera's 5 quick-access Scene Program Modes
on the dial, or get creative with 15 Select Scene Program modes
within the menu that make it easy to get the results you want,
whenever and wherever you want them.
Simply turn
the mode dial on the top of the camera to “Scene” and
choose from a range of pre-programmed Scene Select modes to achieve
the optimal results for: Fireworks, Sunsets, Beach and Snow, Candle
(for photography by candlelight), Landscape, Documents, and more.
A new “High-Key” Scene Select mode enhances the darks
and whites in an image for striking results.
Every Scene
Program and Scene Select mode on the EVOLT provides a sample image
and a description of what is happening to achieve the desired
result. For example, choosing the Landscape setting reveals a
sample of a landscape photo, and describes the appropriate f-stop,
shutter speed and other settings needed to take that picture.
The EVOLT could replace a library full of digital photography
“how-to” instruction books.
Programmed Auto
Mode on the mode dial lets the EVOLT do all the thinking for you
and selects just the right settings for any given situation. Aperture
Priority, Shutter Priority and Manual Modes allow you to take
control of the EVOLT to customize the camera for the ultimate
in artistic expression.
Direct Button
operation enables EVOLT users to get to the settings they want
without wading through endless menus or pushing arrow buttons
excessively. Instead, most custom settings can be set by pressing
one of the cameras 8 direct key buttons for White Balance, Exposure
Compensation, ISO, Flash Mode, Metering Mode, Auto Focus Mode,
Auto Focus Frame and Recording Mode, and then turning a dial by
thumb to customize the setting as desired. All settings are viewable
at once on the camera's “Super Control Panel” displayed
on the LCD.
Transferring
images to the computer has never been easier with the Auto-Connect
USB that does not require software drivers (for most computers/operating
systems) for hassle-free image downloads. Images may also be viewed
on a television using the video cable.
When it comes
time to print images, the EVOLT connects via the included USB
cable to a computer. Or, for fast and easy PC-free printing, the
EVOLT connects to any PictBridge-enabled printer via USB, and
users select the images displayed on the camera's LCD that they
wish to print.
Designed
for Speed
Olympus' TruePic TURBO Image Processor enhances processing speed
for more responsive camera operation. More than just speeding
up image data processing for the large image files generated by
this 8.0-megapixel digital camera, TruePic TURBO also improves
overall camera responsiveness and operating ease. It closely integrates
the image processor's engine and hardware elements to eliminate
unnecessary processing tasks, accelerating the time it takes for
the camera to start up, to engage the shutter release so that
an image is captured, for the image processing to occur, for the
image to be recorded to the media card, and for the image to play
back.
The EVOLT has
an image memory buffer of 64MB and separate working memory for
the camera control. And the EVOLT can capture fast-paced action,
shooting at 2.5 frames per second up to 4 frames in either TIFF
or RAW at full resolution. JPEG resolutions are also available
when more shots are required.
Images Designed
to Be Viewed and Shared with a New HyperCyrstal™ LCD Monitor
A new HyperCrystal LCD monitor with 134,000 pixels offers three
times the contrast of conventional LCD monitors (in-house comparison)
so captured images can be beautifully displayed in vivid color
on the screen with exceptional clarity. Because photos are for
sharing, the EVOLT LCD features a wide, 160° viewing angle
on both the vertical and horizontal axis, ensuring excellent visibility
and beautiful image quality even when everyone huddles around
the camera to see what you've created.
Designed
to Do More
Once one feature is mastered, there are a seemingly endless number
of other features just waiting to be explored. Because the EVOLT
is designed for the ultimate user-friendly experience, you can
choose to let the camera make all the decisions, or take control
for a new level of customization and performance.
• AF: The
EVOLT dedicated auto focus system uses three AF points (Left,
Center, Right) that can all be active automatically or individually
with manual frame selection. When automatic target zone selection
is active, a superimposed display confirms the relevant target
zone. Focus modes are set via a manual switch on the camera body
for Single AF, Continuous AF, and Manual Focus operation. To ensure
successful focusing in the darkest environments, the EVOLT utilizes
an AF illuminator built into the flash.
• Three
Metering Systems : Users are offered a choice of Digital ESP (Electro
Selective Pattern) metering, center-weighted average metering,
or spot metering. Olympus' widely acclaimed proprietary Digital
ESP metering calculates the best light values under complex lighting
conditions.
• Simultaneous
RAW and JPEG Image Data Recording : A choice of three data recording
formats is offered: RAW, TIFF, and JPEG. If desired, image data
can be simultaneously recorded in RAW and JPEG with the RAW+JPEG
format.
• Contrast,
Sharpness and Tone Curve Controls : Contrast can be set to any
of five levels, and sharpness can be set to any of seven levels.
So whether users want pro-quality tonal fidelity or sharp vibrant
colors, they can customize each image to suit their preference.
• A Choice
of Two Color Space Settings: Users can choose from two color space
settings according to their needs: sRGB, which is the standard
for Windows ® environments and inkjet printer output, and
Adobe ® RGB, which is widely used for commercial applications.
• White
Balance : White balance settings from 3000K to 7000K can be set
in 12 steps using button and dial controls, with ±7-step
fine-tuning available for all settings. A one-touch white balance
function allows users to store and retrieve up to four frequently
used white balance settings at the touch of a button. By initially
reading the light separately for the CCD, the camera can see a
dramatic increase in speed without loss of accuracy.
• Noise
Reduction : The noise reduction function uses a proprietary Olympus
algorithm to detect and eliminate the fixed noise that can appear
on long-exposure images.
• High-Precision
Flash Control: A wide range of flash modes is provided, including
Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Slow Synchro (front and rear curtain),
and Fill-In.
• Histogram
Information Display: Identify overexposed or underexposed areas.
• Support
for High-Capacity Memory Media : CompactFlash™ Type I and
II cards and MicroDrive memory media are supported. The EVOLT
also supports 32-bit formatting allowing the use of 4 gigabyte
and larger cards.
• Self-timer
and Remote Control: The built-in self-timer offers a choice of
12-second or 2-second delay. An optional RM-1 remote control unit
is available and can be used with the 2-second delay setting or
for immediate shutter release. An optional RM-CB1 remote cable
is also offered.
