| Features |
| ACCESSORY PORT
| | The E-P2 incorporates a new port for connecting new accessories including an optional EMA-1 Microphone adapter and the VF-2 live-finder, a detachable electronic viewfinder that comes with the E-P2.
|
| MICRO FOUR THIRDS MOUNT | | The Micro Four Thirds Mount on the E-P2 provides many key benefits, including the effectiveness of a digitally designed image sensor, an ultra-compact design, and expandability and compatibility with all Micro Four Thirds Lenses and Four Thirds System Lens via the MMF-1 Adapter.
|
| FOUR THIRDS SYSTEM LENS ADAPTER | | Other Four Thirds Format lenses can also be used on the E-P2 with an available MMF-1 Four Thirds System Lens Adapter, including extreme wide-angle fisheye and super-telephoto lenses. This further increases your range of creative options.
|
| SOUND RECORDING | | The sound recording function of the E-P2 helps you capture all the nuances of classical music, the signing of birds, or any other sounds you want to record. The system is capable of recording and playing back WAV files, and of adding the professional quality sound to digital slide shows.
|
| 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 6400 ISO.
|
| IN-BODY IMAGE STABILIZATION | | The camera's In-body Image Stabilization system compensates for up to four shutter speed steps with any of the system's interchangeable lenses. Mechanical Image Stabilization automatically compensates for camera shake in low-light situations or when using a telephoto lens.
|
| ART FILTERS | | A series of eight built-in Art Filters for replicating countless striking and dramatic effects can be easily activated for both still and video imaging.
|
| MULTIPLE EXPOSURE | | Multiple Exposure makes heightened creativity an easily-obtained objective. Two frames can be combined, and portions of one can be combined with those of another in any of the shooting modes.
|
| 12.3 MEGAPIXEL | | The E-P2's 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.
|
| DIGITAL LEVELER | | The camera's Digital Leveler function is a highly functional and practical feature for such specialized requirements as architectural photography and other similar needs.
|
| MOVIE MODE | | Shoot movies at 30 frames per second in 720p with available manual control over aperture and shutter speed. This new level of control allows you to express your vision exactly how you want in your HD videos.
|
| ELECTRONIC IMAGE STABILIZATION
| | Electronic Image Stabilization compensates for camera shake while shooting in the movie mode.
|
| 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.
|
| LIVE VIEW AUTOFOCUS
| | With the seamless precision and simplicity of a point-and-shoot, the E-P2's Live View Autofocus system displays the images to be shot in complete focus on the camera's bright LCD the moment the shutter button is pressed half way down.
|
| MF ASSIST
| | For accurate manual focusing, MF Assist can be enabled during S-AF + MF operation. With it you can zoom in on the central part of the image by up to five times by turning the focus ring.
|
| PERFECT SHOT PREVIEW
| | With Perfect Shot Preview, you can preview and select various photographic effects before you take the shot.
|
| ePORTRAIT | | The ePortrait mode is also useful for smoothing out the facial features of your subjects, which is a tremendous plus for High Definition playback.
|
| FACE DETECTION
| | Reduces the chance of blurry faces when shooting groups of people-up to 8 at once-even if they're moving while you're pressing the shutter button.
|
| SHADOW ADJUSTMENT TECHNOLOGY | | Shadow Adjustment Technology corrects for extreme light variations with high-tech efficiency. It can also be used in post-editing.
|
| iAUTO
| | iAuto identifies your shooting intent (such as macro or action photography) and instantly adjusts the camera settings to achieve the best results.
|
| BACKGROUND MUSIC
| | Choose from five separate background music files to add to your still images or video productions.
|
| M. ZUIKO LENSES
| | The accompanying Olympus M. ZUIKO lenses are small, lightweight, powerful and precision engineered.
|
| SDHC MEDIA CARDS
| | The E-P2 is capable of recording video to SDHC media cards to accommodate large files. (SDHC Class 6 cards are recommended.) Videos, stills and high-fidelity audio can also be output via HDMI cable-direct to any HD television.
