New 49 Area
AE Sensor
The newly-developed 49 area exposure sensor
provides extra precision and reliability during
exposure metering and flash control. This is of
particular benefit for compositions made under
difficult lighting conditions.
High Light and Shadow
Basis Spot Metering
Besides ESP, Centre-weighted Average and Spot
metering, the E-500 is equipped with two expo-
sure metering modes that ensure bright subjects
with bright backgrounds as well as dark motifs on
dark backgrounds are not absorbed, but can be
differentiated in the final result.
One-touch
White Balance
In addition to the usual options for automatic or
pre-set white balance, the E-500 features a
prominently located button that enables instant
adjustment to suit the ambient lighting conditions.
In this way the white shirt will appear white even
if photographed under fluorescent light – thereby
saving the hassle of subsequent image editing.
Colour Filter for
B&W Photos
As well as the possibility to shoot Black&White,
Sepia or in a range of colour tones, in B&W mode
the E-500 offers users special filter effects.
These colour filters are known from black & white
analogue photography and extend creative
opportunities even further.
Professional
AEL/AFL Control
Photographers can have access to a range of
personally-selected exposure and
focus settings that were pre-defined
to suit their individual preferences –
all at the simple touch of a button.
This level of customisation for exposure and focus
is especially sought out by professional
photographers.
Unlimited Sequential
Shooting at 2.5 Frames
per Second
Thanks to the extremely high-performance
TruePic TURBO processor, the E-500 can
continuously record photos in quick succession
up to the full memory card capacity. This amazing
ability to record dynamic sequences ensures that
decisive shots need never be missed.
Large and Bright for
Clear Viewing:
The HyperCrystal LCD
At 6.4cm/2.5”, the
LCD stands out not
only because of its
size, but also for its
high-resolution de-
pictions, extreme
brightness and
wide viewing an-
gles of 160°. It provides clear overviews of the
camera settings and also facilitates the preview of
images. Moreover, with the histogram function,
exposure distribution is shown in a choice of four
modes and can inform users of over or underex-
posed image sections.
Lightbox Function
The camera allows two images stored in the
camera to be compared simultaneously on the
LCD – just like on a real lightbox.
14x Magnification
For the detailed checking of image sharpness on
the stored photos, the E-500 allows enlargements
of up to 14x on the LCD.
