VITAL STATISTICS
Type: Fully automatic, interchangeable lens digital camera with Micro Four Thirds System bayonet lens mount.
Focusing: Automatic 121-point wide-area using contrast-detection measurement via the imaging sensor. Focus points may be selected manually or automatically by the camera. Additional Super Spot AF and Group Target area modes. Manual switching between one-shot and continuous AF modes. Face/ eye detection and auto tracking. Continuous manual override available with single-shot mode. Focus assist via magnified image (3x/5x/7x/10x/14x) and focus peaking display (Red, Yellow, White or Black).
Metering: 324-point Digital ESP (i.e. multizone), centre-weighted average, spot (2.0%) with highlight/shadow bias, and TTL flash. Metering range is EV -2.0 to 20 (ISO 100 at f/2.8).
Exposure Modes: Continuously-variable program with shift, shutter-priority auto, aperturepriority auto, metered manual, TTL auto flash and TTL flash. Plus 28 subject/scene programs in six categories. Automatic scene detection in ‘AUTO’ mode.
Shutter: Electronic, vertical travel, metal blades, 60-1/4000 second plus B and T
(both up to 30 minutes). Flash sync to 1/250 second. Sensor shutter has a speed range of 60-1/16,000 second. Electronic first curtain shutter option available (60-1/320 second). Exposure compensation up to +/-5.0 EV in 1/3, 1/2 or full stop increments.
Viewfinder: OLED-type EVF with 2.36 million dots resolution, 100% coverage and
0.62x magnification (35mm equivalent). Tiltadjustable 3-inch TFT LCD monitor panel (1.037 million dots) with touchscreen controls. Both have scale/grid, real-time histogram and info displays plus a zoom function. Auto/manual switching between EVF and monitor. EVF has ‘Simulated Optical Viewfinder’ (S-OVF) setting which mimics the appearance of an optical finder.
Flash: Built-in pop-up unit with GN 7.2 power (ISO 200/metres). Auto, fill-in, red-eye reduction, front/rear sync and slow speed sync modes. Flash compensation range of +/-3.0 EV in 1/3 stop increments. Manual control down to 1/64 of full power. External flash units connect via hotshoe.
Additional Features: GRP bodyshell, AE/AF lock, auto exposure bracketing (up to +/-1.0 EV over three frames or up to +/-1.3 EV over five frames), depth-of-field preview, programmable self-timer (1 to 30 second delays, 1 to 10 frames, variable intervals), audible signals, auto power-off, hard-wired remote triggering, silent shooting mode, ‘Anti-Shock’ low-speed continuous shooting mode (using sensor shutter), 43 custom functions.
