Shooting in a vertical format is an absolute necessity for pro-

fessional and prosumer photographers. The problem is, most

digital cameras don’t rotate the images on playback for you to

see  them  properly  and  users  are  forced  to  accomplish  this

basic  task  on  a  PC  with  image  editing  software.  Not  any-

more! Again, Olympus overcame this problem with a “digital

specific” feature on the CAMEDIA E-100 ZOOM RS that al-

lows you to rotate your images 90º on playback, so there’s no

need to use a PC or editing software.

The CAMEDIA E-100 ZOOM RS’s color management system

allows the user to capture with “neutral color” that is truer to

the  intended  values  of  the  original  subject.  The  camera’s

post  processing  provides  advanced  algorithms  that  keeps

the  image  from  being  too  warm  on  the  Kelvin  scale  or  too

cool, (3200º K represents tungsten light, 5500º K represents

high noon daylight). Often adjusting an image in either direc-

tion causes unwanted noise, which often effects image qual-

ity. With Olympus’s Neutral Color Management, you can color

correct the image in either direction without negatively effect-

ing the image quality.

One of the benefits of pre-selecting a black and white mode

is to let the camera do the work to discard the unnecessary

color data before saving to the camera’s storage media. Sec-

ondly, after-capture converting takes up valuable time, a PC

and an image editing application, which could mean the dif-

ference in a missed deadline. Lastly, wouldn’t it be better to

check the black and white image in comparison with real life

values  while  its  there  in  front  of  you  rather  than  “visioning”

what it should have looked like afterward?

Photographer  Walter  Urie  adds,  “I  specialize  in  black  and

white  photography  and  I’m  very  picky.  I  was  extremely  im-

pressed in the way this camera translated color to black and

white  tonal  values.”

Previously, digital photojournalists and sports photographers

haven’t  had  the  option  to  preset  the  mode  they  wished  to

shoot  in,  i.e.  black  and  white  or  RGB  color.  The  E-100  RS

solves  this  problem,  in-camera.  In  many  cases,  digital  pho-

tographers are forced to shoot in color and later convert im-

ages to black and white. There are a few reasons why this is

not  acceptable  to  most  professionals.  First,  color  images

take up much more storage on the camera’s memory card(s)

than  black  and  white  images,  which  could  mean  the  differ-

ence between having enough storage or not on a shoot.
