All Aluminum body

The CAMEDIA E-10 SLR provides a balanced and nimble light

weight all aluminum cast body that has the added feature of a

“Mirror  Box,”  which  acts  with  the  body  as  a  heat  sink.  This

disperses heat throughout the entire camera’s body away from

the sensor to cut down on heat related electronic noise and

has a direct correlation to the quality of images coming from

the E-10.

Joel Meyerowitz talks about the balance and weight, “typically

I shoot about 10 hours a day and at the end of the day I usually

have problems with indentations in my fingers and my hands

are  tired.  This  camera  did  not  have  the  usual  problems  of

being  heavy  on  the  front  end  of  the  lens.  It  was  balanced

properly and light enough yet solid as well. After shooting all

day  with  the  E-10,  I  didn’t  have  the  typical  problems  I  have

with  other  cameras.”

On-board Histogram

Often when shooting on-location professional digital photog-

raphers  use  an  in-camera  tool  called  a  histogram.  A  histo-

gram represents the all the image data and tonal range that

is captured and represents this data in a linear graphic form.

Often in critical situations it may be difficult for a professional

photographer  to  tell  whether  the  image  is  a  good  image  or

one  that  should  be  re-shot  by  just  looking  at  the  LCD.  The

CAMEDIA  E-10  Zoom  SLR  provides  the  ability  to  view  the

histogram of an image on the camera’s LCD so you can be

assured  from  a  visual  standpoint  and  a  graphical  perspec-

tive that you’ve got a “keeper”.
