IN-BODY IMAGE STABILIZATION
Say goodbye to blurry images. In both still and movie modes - the E-PL2 Image
Stabilization excels. The E-PL2s three-mode In-body Image Stabilization system
compensates for up to three shutter speed steps in the still shooting modes with
any of its interchangeable lenses: Mode 1 for general shooting, Mode 2 for
creative high-speed horizontal capture, and Mode 3 for high-speed vertical
capture. The camera's Mechanical Image Stabilization automatically compensates
for camera shake in low-light situations or when using a telephoto lens. In the
Movie Modes the advanced Electronic Image Stabilization tracts the images both
vertically and horizontally to achieve clear sharp movies, matching the
performance of the in body IS.
BUILT-IN POP-UP FLASH
Illuminate low-light subjects, reduce red eye, and fill in dark areas. Set the
built-in pop-up flash to auto or control the amount of light the flash emits.
12.3 MEGAPIXEL
The E-PL2s powerful 12.3 megapixel Live-MOS sensor packs a powerful
high-quality imaging punch for such a compact camera, allowing you to capture
more detail than ever before. The Live MOS image sensor delivers excellent
dynamic range, accurate color fidelity and fine image details in both highlight
and shadow areas.
TRUEPIC V IMAGE PROCESSOR
In addition to more detail, the image sensor, combined with the next-generation
TruePic V Image Processor, delivers excellent dynamic range, accurate color
fidelity and reduced noise, all the way up to 3200 ISO.
DUST REDUCTION SYSTEM
A Dust Reduction System assures spot-free images. Every time you turn on the
camera, the patented Supersonic Wave Filter silently vibrates, flinging and
collecting dust so that it cannot interfere with the picture imaging at any
time.
