Premium picture quality and superb performance come easy with this comfortable to handle digital SLR. At a time when we want complex things to become simple, the EVOLT E-500 succeeds in doing so with a sleek, lightweight design for impressive portability and advanced controls and options that can be accessed with minimal effort. Bursting with speed and producing spotless pictures with exceptional color and detail, the EVOLT E-500 is tailor-made for anyone to use while capturing the imagination in the process.

Features:

  • Patented Dust Reduction System uses our Supersonic Wave Filter (SWF) to loosen and remove any and all dust and debris from the image sensor. The SWF vibrates at a rate of 35,000 times per second upon start-up as well as when manually activated - and is unnoticeable to the user - for clear, aberration-free images. This removal of dust also means you never have to worry about changing lenses because if anything gets in, the SWF will get it out.
  • The advanced 8 megapixel full frame transfer CCD uses less space on the chip for data transfer and instead utilizes more of the pixel area to capture data, thereby resulting in images with a higher sensitivity, higher dynamic range, lower noise and better overall quality.
  • Capture sharp, detailed photos quickly. The exclusive TruePic TURBO Image Processor provides accelerated performance such as a faster start-up time, rapid shot-to-shot speed, and quicker playback of smooth, detail-rich photos.
  • Get great photos while barely lifting a finger with 15 scene modes. Just select the one you want from the menu - Beach and Snow, Portrait, Landscape, Sports and more - and press the shutter button. That's it.
  • For a bit more say in your photos' appearance, choose between 6 basic modes (Auto, Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene Portrait, Macro, and Sports) while still leaving the aperture and shutter speed settings to the camera itself.
  • Exercise total control with creative modes like Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual.
  • A large, high-resolution 2.5" LCD provides a big canvas with which to review and share pictures and features HyperCrystal technology so you can even do so up to a 160-degree viewing angle, left to right and up and down. The big screen also makes it easier to use the menu, identify icons and adjust settings.
  • Compatible with the largest selection of digital specific lenses anywhere. Each Zuiko lens is precision-crafted to deliver pristine images and is perfectly matched to the camera's image sensor for amazing sharpness and color from one edge of the image to the other.
  • Shoot using any of five metering modes including the new 49-point Digital ESP metering, center-weighted average metering, spot metering, highlight spot metering (for clean, true whites with detail), and shadow spot metering (for rich blacks with detail).
  • Add dramatic effects of color to your black-and-white pictures such as sepia, blue, green, and purple using Black-and-White filter modes.
  • Automatic pop-up flash provides just the right amount of illumination when necessary and remains out of the way (closed) when not.
  • Select the level of lighting you want via any of the seven (7) available flash modes.
  • Stable and lightweight body is designed with ergonomic styling and an advanced grip making it extremely comfortable to handle and use.
  • Dual Media Slots let you capture, store, and backup photos on an xD-Picture Card, CompactFlash card or both.
  • R, G, B Histogram available with both highlight and shadow waning.
  • PictBridge-compatible.
  • Select from left, center, or right Auto Focus points either automatically or manually.
  • Use the AF Illuminator to focus in dim light or darkness.
  • Shoot using any of five focus modes: C-AF, S-AF, MF, S-AF+MF, C-AF+MF.
  • Choose White Balance or Preset White Balance with the exclusive one-touch WB button on the back of the camera.
  • Eliminate unwanted image noise with Noise Reduction.
  • Control color saturation, contrast and sharpness levels separately for each file by selecting any of three available color parameters: Vivid (for printer-ready colors); Natural (for true, accurate colors); and Muted (ideal for Photoshop® users who enhance/scale images).
  • Use the five most popular Monochrome modes - Yellow, Orange, Red, Green, and Normal (no filter) - to expand your ability to add even more drama to your black-and-white pictures.
  • Choose your preference from two color space settings, sRGB or Adobe RGB, for desired results.
  • Customize the settings that best suit your subject with Contrast, Sharpness and Tone Controls.
  • Select the format that best suits your needs: JPEG, RAW, JPEG+RAW, TIFF.
