Slim Digital Cameras- Olympus E-P2
By : Syahrul Fitri
After five months Olympus launched its first Micro Four Thirds camera E-P1. They shock the market again with
Slim Digital Cameras E-P2. It look similar with E-P1, but the dearer Pen E-P2 has some subtle internal enhancements. The first production of E-P2 will only available on black or white finishes. The new feature that we can find on EP-2 is clip-on high resolution electronic viewfinder, optional adapter that enable stereo audio recording for movies via an external microphone as an alternative to the camera's built-in stereo microphones. Moreover, there are also Art Filters, improved autofocus, and some tweaks to the intelligent Auto exposure system. Ok, we will get closer to the Olympus EP-2
When we look at the back of the camera, behind the flash hot shoe is a tiny accessory port. A cover that doubles as a hot shoe cover protects the port when it is not being used. The port provides a high bandwidth data bus for the E-P2's party trick, the 1.4 million dot VF-2 Live Finder. The VF-2 is similar in style to the clip-on electronic viewfinder. This feature like Lumix DMC G-1 another
Slim Digital Cameras , but Olympus suggests that the VF-2 performs better, delivering a higher contrast and sharper view, and better colour performance in low light. And like the GF1, the VF-2 finder can be tilted upwards, all the way to 90 degrees, or vertical orientation. There is eyesight correction adjustment built in to the VF-2 that offers a viewing magnification equivalent to that of an E-3 DSLR viewfinder, it means the view is generously large.
At the EP-1 , although there is a integrated stereo microphone, but its so close to the lens. So if autofocus was employed during movie recording, a lot of nasty AF motor noise was picked up when we review the recording result .
The improvement come in EP-2 with the optional EMA-1 adapter, which also fits on the hot shoe and plugs into the accessory port, you can use a standard external stereo microphone.
Another improvement in this
Slim Digital Cameras is i-enhance, in the EP-1 we find Auto mode, with scene mode recognition and selection. Now in the EP-2 , there is i-enhance that will identifies and selects the main subject in an image to boosts gradation, saturation, and contrast. It's a smarter and more subtle alternative to using the more familiar Vivid mode. There are also integrated art filter Diorama and Cross Process. Diorama is an in-camera implementation of the
fascinating technique , known as Tilt Shift, of blurring the foreground and background of an image to trick the viewer into believing they are viewing a scaled model of reality. Cross Process is another unusual colour mode that Olympus likens developing a slide film in a negative film process.
