The perfect moment doesn’t wait. That’s why serious photographers need
serious equipment so that they are ready for whatever comes. With its
pro features and top image quality, the new Olympus E-520 D-SLR fits
the bill perfectly. The next evolution to the EISA Award-winning E-500
series incorporates a built-in image stabiliser to ensure blur-free
shots irrespective of the lens attached - no matter if wide-angle or
ultra-tele and without the need for a tripod. Matched with the
Supersonic Wave Filter dust protection system and improved Live View
capabilities, the freedom to frame and take great, crystal-clear photos
is virtually limitless. Based upon the forward-looking “designed for
digital” Four Thirds Standard, the 10.0 Megapixel E-520 with Live View
ensures uncompromising D-SLR quality.
The E-520 relegates blurred photos to a thing of the past. Its built-in image stabiliser ensures subjects are captured in ultimate sharpness, shot after shot - no matter if shooting from the back of a motorbike on rough terrain or capturing a spontaneous “stolen moment” out of the hand in a market square. Because the stabiliser is located in the camera body and not in individual lenses, photographers can shoot with confidence regardless of which lens is attached: from wide-angle models like the soon-to-be-released ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 9-18mm 1:4.0-5.6 to high-performance zooms such as the new ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 70-300mm 1:4.0-5.6 (equiv. to 140-600mm in a 35mm format).
Sequential shooting at 3.5fps with up to eight images in RAW buffer lets every moment be captured. Matched with fast processing speeds and the exceptionally low noise performance that’s attributable to the TruePic III image processor, high-speed action becomes your friend. Broad-ranging sensitivity from ISO 100-1600 adds versatility, and the bracketing function let series of shots to be taken with varying adjustments to exposure, focus or white balance, allowing the best of the shots to be selected.
For low-light shooting situations photographers can select the built-in flash or choose an optional external unit. Wireless flash control is also possible with this model, making customised lighting set ups an easy reality.
As with all cameras in the Olympus E-System line-up, the E-520 incorporates the Supersonic Wave Filter to protect against the effects of dust, which can enter the camera during lens changes or otherwise result from normal operation. Photographers therefore enjoy blemish-free pictures at all times.
