Exceedingly fast shutter speeds.

With a shutter speed up to 1/8000
sec. and an x-sync speed of 1/250
sec., you can shoot with an open
aperture in bright sunlight. Super
FP-flash shooting with full speed
sync up to 1/8000 sec. can be
achieved using the FL-50R or
FL-36R external flash. These
amazingly fast shutter speeds let
you take full advantage of the
high optical performance of our
ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses.

High-speed AF with Supersonic Wave Drive (SWD).

The SWD’s compact, ultrasonic motor was developed by Olympus
to make the AF drive at unparalleled high speed. To improve AF
accuracy, an ultra-compact encoder is incorporated to detect
positions and control focusing with astonishing accuracy. From start
to acceleration, control and stoppage, it moves the lens to the
focusing position quickly and
accurately, providing high-speed
autofocusing comparable to the
super-fast AF of the E-3 when
the Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL
ED 12-60mm f2.8-4.0 SWD
lens is mounted on the E-30.

Capture it all with 5 fps sequential shooting.

The E-30’s high-speed 5 fps sequential shooting is made possible
by the fast readout speed of the Live MOS Sensor, the quicker speed
of the TruePic

III+ image processor and a more efficient high-

precision mirror mechanism.

New 12.3 MP Live MOS Sensor.

Our new 12.3 megapixel high-speed Live MOS
Sensor delivers high-resolution images noted for
intricate detail, rich gradations and natural colors.
This innovative sensor improves reading time and,
when used in combination with Four Thirds
lenses, gives you unmatched sharpness across the entire photograph.

A powerhouse of an image processor.

The TruePic

III+ is a small yet mighty processing

engine that helps the Live MOS Sensor to work so
effectively. The E-30’s Art Filter functions are housed
here to let you explore the full range of your creativity. Shoot with
long exposures or at high sensitivity with two noise-reducing modes.

Sharp images can only come from brilliant technology.

The Olympus E-30 is fully equipped with advanced technologies to deliver images with uncompromising quality.
You’ll find a number of industry-leading features that work to ensure every shot is an amazing shot.

Even the world’s fastest-moving objects can’t outrun

our autofocus system.

The E-30 has the same record-setting, blazingly fast autofocus speeds as our professional E-3 camera.
Now you have the technology to clearly capture anything — even the speediest subjects on the planet.

Image Stabilization that’s built in, not added on.

The E-30’s Image Stabilization system resides in the
camera body so you can use any one of our 20 ZUIKO
DIGITAL

lenses or any Four Thirds lens to capture

crisp, blur-free images. The system features an incredibly

sensitive gyro sensor and supersonic motors to compensate for
camera shake for up to five shutter speed steps*. Two modes —
IS-2 horizontal and IS-3 vertical — allow for blur-free panning.

*Correction effect varies depending on the lens type and shooting conditions.

Innovative 11-point
Full-Twin Cross AF
Sensor ensures
accuracy.

Each cross sensor element at
each of the 11 distance-
measuring points of the AF
system has two horizontal and
two vertical lines. Accurate
distance measurement is possible throughout the luminance range
thanks to a dedicated AF engine. Achieve high AF accuracy with
any Four Thirds lens.

Set your AF point.

Choose from three AF target patterns. All patterns use all 11 AF
points. Dynamic Single uses the selected point plus three or four
around it. Single uses one point.

Optimum location of AF points.

The location of the
AF distance-
measuring points was
determined using
extensive research
based on statistical
analysis of the
locations of the main
subjects in a huge
amount of photo data. As it covers a wide area instead of just the
center of the image, this sensor layout makes the AF system more
effective and more practical.

Take dust out of the picture.

Once dust gets on the image sensor, it shows up in the same spot on
every picture. Our revolutionary, proven Dust Reduction System
features a Supersonic Wave Filter (SSWF) located in front of the
image sensor that vibrates an astounding 30,000 times per second.
Dust is automatically shaken off every time the camera is turned on
so you’ll always get spot-free photos.
