With its new "AF Live View" technology, improved picture quality and enhanced ease-of-use features, the Olympus E-420 makes picture taking truly easy for newcomers to DSLR photography.
Family users, casual snapshot shooters, keen photo-bloggers, and travellers who require a minimal-weight yet full featured camera, will enjoy using this camera because of its remarkable portability and high picture quality.
A simple half-press of the shutter release button easily activates autofocus in LiveView operation with the new contrast-detect AF system available in an Olympus DSLR model for the first time. Contrast-detect autofocus is the same type of easy-to-operate focusing method used in most compact digital cameras of today.
Highly accurate phase-detect autofocus is retained for non-LiveView operation and is user selectable in the LiveView mode.
Powerful face detection technology used in the E-420 improves autofocus in LiveView and optimises exposure for faces in single or group portraits. Up to eight faces can be detected with this incredible new system.
Shadow Adjust technology makes getting good pictures in harsh or high contrast lighting situations easy by automatically improving dark area detail whilst retaining properly exposed bright areas. Combined together, both technologies means it is easy for DSLR novices to capture great pictures with little fuss with the E-420.
Eighteen "Scene Select" picture modes automatically adjust the camera to the best camera settings to use, so that all you need do is to pick the type of picture you want to shoot, and the camera does the rest!
