The world’s first Live View digital SLR.

EVOLT E-

330

Digital SLR

Capture exactly what you see 
in a way no other digital SLR can.

Now there’s a digital SLR that offers actual “live” viewing through

the LCD in addition to a traditional through-the-lens optical

viewfinder. For the first time in an advanced digital SLR camera,

you can use the LCD screen for framing and shooting exactly what

you’re viewing – instead of just for playback.

The LCD itself is a study in advanced Olympus engineering. At 2.5”,

it is large in size and features high-resolution HyperCrystal

TM

technology for extra brightness. And for added versatility, the 

E-330’s LCD can be easily adjusted to multiple angles. Whether

you’re shooting high, low or close up, you can capture the perfect

image with ease. 

To make sure your pictures come to life in spectacular detail and

vibrant colors, images are captured on a new 7.5 megapixel Live MOS

image sensor developed expressly for the E-330 and its Live View

digital capabilities.

For a totally new photographic experience,

get the Olympus EVOLT E-330. It will

change your entire view of what a full-

featured digital SLR can do.
