The E-420 is a lightweight compact DSLR - small enough to fit into a purse or a jacket pocket and packed with all the features you need to take great pictures anywhere you go, every day. The innovative and unique Olympus Autofocus Live View function allows you to frame and focus your photos using the large 2.7-inch LCD as a viewfinder. The E-420's Scene Select Modes make you an instant expert -- or switch to manual mode to expand your creative control.
This feature-rich digital SLR also sports Shadow Adjustment Technology and Face Detection, both viewable in real time on the Live View LCD. The E-420 accepts CompactFlash Type I & II, Microdrives, and xD-Picture Cards, providing a choice of data storage options for enhanced flexibility. and it is possible to transfer image files from one card to the other right inside the camera.
The benefits of the Four Thirds Mount on the E-420 are many. You get a digitally designed image sensor, a compact design, as well as expandability and compatibility with the rest of the Four Thirds System. Olympus' Zuiko Digital lenses provide edge-to-edge pixel-perfect clarity. Unlike film lenses, these advanced, precision-engineered 100-percent digital lenses are designed to work perfectly with all the camera's digital technology.
Features
- On-Screen Autofocus with Live View works as seamlessly as a point-and-shoot to display subjects in focus on the LCD the instant the shutter is pressed half way.
- Face Detection Technology targets and locks on up to eight faces to ensure accurate focus for crystal clear, amazing portraits
- Shadow Adjustment Technology captures detail in the bright areas of a frame and opens up detail in the shadows that other cameras would render too dark or underexposed
- The Olympus dust reduction system — located between the shutter and the image sensor – is activated every time you turn on the E-420. Dust is shaken loose by the Supersonic Wave Filter, silently vibrating at an amazing 35,000 times per second, and collected so it can't come back
- The Digital Image Stabilization Scene Select Mode allows high ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speeds so you can freeze the action to capture sharp, blur-free images even if you or your subject is moving
- The 2.7" HyperCrystal II LCD delivers twice the contrast and better viewing in extreme lighting conditions, a broader range of color detail, and a wider angle of view
- The powerful 10-megapixel Live-MOS sensor gives you more detail in your pictures than ever before with the flexibility to crop and still produce large, detailed prints
- The TruePic III processor gives you better color and quality through true-to-life skin tones, brilliant blue skies, precise color transitions, more detail and less image noise
- Compatible with all Four Thirds System lenses
