Not a Point & Shoot. Not an SLR ...
It’s a PEN. In 1959, Olympus
designed a camera with the photographic optics of an SLR and the
size and simplicity of a point-and-shoot—revolutionizing the way we
take pictures. After 50 years, the PEN is back. And it’s mightier
than ever. Introducing the new Olympus PEN. It’s totally digital,
and offers unique and groundbreaking technology to a whole new
generation of camera users.
The PEN provides superior optics, interchangeable lenses and
multimedia capabilities—and combines the creative freedom of a
sophisticated digital SLR with the simple controls and small size of
a point-and-shoot.
In addition to all the advantages of
Olympus imaging technology, the new ultra-compact hybrid device can
even record HD quality movies with sound and stunning creative
effects familiar from still photography. In addition to the
application of Art Filters, it includes the ability to vary depth of
field, angle of view, and autofocus during recording.
