Three Metering Systems

average metering, or spot metering. Our proprietary Digital
ESP metering is widely acclaimed as it will calculate the best
light values, under complex lighting conditions.
Three Data Recording Formats

and JPEG. If you prefer, image data can be recorded in RAW
and JPEG, simultaneously.
Contrast, Sharpness and Tone Controls
– Whether you want
professional quality tonal fidelity or sharp, vibrant colors, you
can customize each image to suit your style and subject.
Two Color Space Settings
– Choose from sRGB (the standard
for Windows
®
environments and inkjet printer output) and
Adobe
®
RGB (popular for commercial use).
White Balance
– Settings from
3000
K to
7000
K can be set
in
12
steps, with additional fine-tuning available to each.
One-touch white balance function enables you to store and
retrieve up to four settings.
Noise Reduction

Olympus algorithm to detect and eliminate fixed noise that
can appear on long-exposure images.
High-Precision Flash Control
– Take your pick from a wide
range of flash modes: Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Slow
Synchro (front and rear curtain), Fill-In and more.
Self-timer and Remote Control

offers you a
12
- or two-second delay. The optional RM-
1
remote control unit can be used with the two-second delay
setting or for immediate shutter release.
Should a camera
take your ability
for granted?
Pictures are important to all of us. Whether we’re capturing
a baby’s first step, a boy holding the one that almost hopped
away, or a graduation portrait – we all demand excellence from
our cameras, regardless of our own capabilities.
Fully-loaded functionality –
with simplicity, just to be sure.
To even the playing field for first-time users and advanced
photographers, the EVOLT E-
300
can make decisions for you
automatically, or hand you control with increased customiza-
tion options.
Scene Modes
– As described earlier, the Scene Program
modes on the dial and Select Scene Programs accessible
through the menu, make it easier and more likely you’ll get
the results you want .
Auto Focus
– Using left, center and right AF points that can be
all active automatically or individually selected manually, the
AF system offers you a superimposed display confirming the
relevant target zone. To ensure accurate focusing in the dark,
EVOLT E-
300
utilizes an AF illuminator built into the flash.
