I owned one of these for a few months, a few months ago. I was curious as to how it compared with modern cameras. Owned mine now for over 2 years and have considered changing to an SLR but with all the potential problems of dust on the imager I am not so sure.

(1056g) (without batteries and Compact Flash/SmartMedia Card) Question: Why does the Olympus E-20N have a built- in lens instead of having interchangeable lenses?. Answer: 1. The built- in lens "all- in-one" design is specifically matched to the CCD. Cameras offering interchangeable lenses are designed for 35mm film, which usually does not have sufficient resolution for a megapixel CCD sensor. 2. When interchangeable lenses are removed from the body, the CCD and internal mechanisms are exposed to dust in the environment. Contaminants are a much bigger problem on digital cameras since the CCD is much smaller that a 35mm film plane. 3. One of the primary reasons for using interchangeable lenses is for a wide variety of focal lengths. The E-20N contains a 4x optical zoom 9mm-36mm (35mm-140mm equivalent in 35mm photography) built- in lens. In addition, there are wide angle, telephoto and macro add-on lenses. This system offers great flexibility and will suit approximately 95% of most shooting needs. 4. Cost - Some interchangeable lenses cost as much as the E-20 camera itself.

Page 4 of 11

5. Other lenses that were originally designed for film cameras do not deliver same focal length on a film camera as a digital camera. For example, a wide-angle 28mm lens attached to a digital camera would only provide 56mm equivalence. Question: Can you use the IBM Microdrive with the E-20N came ra? Answer: Yes, the E-20N digital camera can use a type 1 or type 2 Compact Flash and the IBM Microdrive. Question: Why can you use the Microdrive on the E-20N and not the E-10 camera? Answer: The E-20N power supply circuitry is designed differently from the power supply circuitry of the E-10, enabling it to work with the IBM Microdrive. Question: What accessories lenses are available for the Olympus E-20N digital camera? Answer: Olympus offers the following add-on lens accessory options:. 1) MCON-35 Macro Extension Lens (equivalent to 1/4 life size, subject size that will fill the frame is approximately 1.4" x 1.9" f2.4 Tele/f2.0 Wide, 72mm filter size) minimum focusing distance - 4.75 inches. 2) WCON-08B Wide Extension Lens (equivalent to 28mm f2.0 in 35mm photography, 105mm filter size) minimum focusing distance - 3.6 inches 3) TCON-14B 1.45X Tele Extension Lens (equivalent to 200mm f2.4 in 35mm photography, 86mm filter size-tentative) minimum focusing distance -1 ft. 4) TCON-300S Tele Extension Lens (equivalent to 420mm f2.8 in 35mm photography, 49mm filter size) minimum focusing distance - minimum focusing distance - 3.9 ft. Question: What is the difference between the Interlace Scan (IS) mode and the Progressive Scan (PS) mode? Answer: The Interlace Scan (IS) mode the camera uses a mechanical shutter with shutter speeds up to 1/640th second. It also uses the maximum resolution that is possible with the CCD (5.0 MP). In the Progressive Scan (PS) mode the camera operates with the electronic shutter with shutter speeds up to 1/4000th second and a 1/18000 second shutter speed(1/18000 in Shutter or Manual Priority modes only). In this mode the resolution is reduced in half(2.5 MP).

Question: What is the purpose of the RAW quality mode option in the Olympus E-20N camera? Answer: In the RAW mode, the image is compiled of raw data with no compression and no enhancing settings from the camera such as sharpness, contrast etc. It provides a higher dynamic range with the maximum image quality without being processed, so the user can apply his/her own changes to the file. The file will have a.ORF (Olympus Raw File) extension. It can be read using a supplied PhotoShop Plug- in or the Olympus Camedia 2.5 program. Question: Can you use filters with the Olympus E-20N camera?. Answer: Yes, the Olympus E-20N has a 62mm filter thread size. You can attach a standard 62mm lens filter directly on the lens. Color filters would not have an effect on the camera due to the auto white balance. Question: What type of batteries can be used with the Olympus E-20N Camera? Answer: You can use two LB-01E 3V lithium batteries, four B-01 4PE AA Ni- MH batteries (BU-40SU charger and batteries), four AA Ni- CD batteries, four AA Alkaline batteries the B-10LPB Lithium Polymer Battery or the New B-12LPB Lithium Polymer Battery. Please note: the B10LPB Lithium Polymer Battery, B-HLD10 Power Battery Holder and the B-20LPCE charger are included in the B-30 LBS kit, and the B-12LPB Lithium Polymer Battery, B-HLD10 Power Battery Holder and the B-20LPCE charger are included in the B-32 LBS kit. Question: How long do the batteries last? Answer: The Lithium batteries that are provided with the camera will supply approximately 200 images. The Ni-MH batteries will provide approximate 100 shots per charge. The B-10LPB Lithium Polymer battery will allow 500 - 700 shots per charge and can be recharged approximately 500 times. B-12LPB Lithium Polymer Battery will deliver twice the power allowing 1000- 1400 shots per charge and can be recharged approximately 500 times. The Alkaline batteries, although can be used, is not recommended due to very low battery life. Question: I am having a problem setting the year in the date/time feature on the E-20N. How do you set it? Answer: When setting the year portion of the date on the E-20N, there is two digits that need to be set separately. Please note: This was not the case with the E-10 camera.

Question: Can I use my FL-40 flash off the E-20 camera and maintain full TTL settings? Answer: Yes, the FL-CB05 Shoe Mount TTL flash cable will allow full TTL capability with the FL-40 flash off camera. Question: How long is the new FL-CB05 Hot-shoe to Hot-shoe flash cable? Answer: The FL-CB05 Hot-shoe to Hot-shoe flash cable is approximately 3 feet (1 meter). Question: What is the file size at maximum resolution in TIFF quality mode? Answer: The file size in TIFF quality mode non-compressed at 2560x1920 resolution is approximately 15MB. Question: Why didn't I receive Photoshop Elements in with the purchase of my E-20 camera? Answer: Photoshop Elements is supplied in the box with the Olympus E-20N camera only. The software is not included with the E-20 (Olympus Japan model) or the E-20P (Olympus Europe model). Question: Can I zoom with the WCON or TCON lenses? Answer: No, the wide angle and telephoto extension lenses are specifically designed only to extend the focal length of the existing E-10/20N lens. Their specific purpose is to be a fixed focal length. Question: When I use my TCON 14B or TCON-300, my image appears in a small circle with black borders?. Answer: The focal length set on the camera is wrong. If you are using the TCON series extension lenses the focal length needs to be set at full telephoto, 36mm. Question: When I am in macro mode and I use my onboard flash I get a black semi circle at the bottom of my images? Answer: The lens shade is blocking light from the built- in flash, remove the lens shade.

Page 7 of 11

Question: When I use the WCON-08B with the onboard flash I get a dark semi circle at the bottom of my images? Answer: The built- in flash cannot be used with the WCON-08B. The WCON-08B blocks the path of light from the built- in flash. Fix: An external flash should be used, for example, the FL-40 sits much higher, therefore the path of light is not blocked by the extension lens. Question: I noticed when I take pictures with my E-10/20N there are two black vertical lines on the left and right sides of the image. Answer: The lens shade is on wrong. The longer pedals of the lens shade are blocking the cameras field of view. Ask the customer if the lens shade is on properly Olympus Lens Hood LH-1 should be aligned at the top of the camera. Question: Why is the file size small when I shoot in TIFF resolution?. Answer: Ask the customer if they are adjusting the Image Quality correctly on the camera. The Image Quality is adjusted by pressing the Record Mode Button and turning the Sub Dial until you see TIFF display at the Control Panel. Question: When I adjust my Image Quality to SHQ, why does the display show TIFF on the monitor menu. Answer: TIFF will always show up on the monitor when you scroll to it. If you adjust the Image Quality on the monitor, it will remember your setting even if it shows TIFF when you scroll back to it at another time. Question: When I am outside taking pictures, I noticed that all my images are washed out with white light? First ask the customer if they have the camera on a tripod or if they are using the camera remotely. Second, ask if the customers eye is away from the viewfinder when taking pictures. Answer: Light is entering the viewfinder from the eyepiece and is effecting the cameras ability to expose properly. Fix: Close the eyepiece shutter.

Question: When I am taking time exposure pictures at night, I noticed that all my images are washed out with white light? First ask the customer if they have the camera on a tripod or if they are using the camera remotely. Second, ask if the customers eye is away from the viewfinder when taking pictures. Answer: Light is entering the viewfinder eyepiece and is effecting the cameras ability to expose properly. Fix: Close the eyepiece shutter. Question: Why do my images come out dark when using my studio strobes? Answer: Ask the customer if they are using optical slave units to fire off the main strobes and if they are using the E-10/20N built in flash or FL-40. If so, explain that the E-10/20Ns flash fires a preflash before the main flash to determine exposure, white balance information. The sensor on the optical slave is seeing the first flash and is firing off the studio lights prematurely. Unfortunately the pre- flash function on the camera cannot be disabled. Fix: You will need to hardwire a sync cord directly from the Flash synchro socket on the camera to the studio strobe. If the customer does not want to be tethered by a sync cord, they can use a Radio Slave (Quantum Radio Slave or Pocket Wizard). Question: I have my E-10/20N hardwired to my studio strobe with a sync cord, why are they not firing? Answer: In most cases this is a polarity issue. Ask the customer if the studio strobe sync cord connection is a household type (looks like a regular two-prong AC outlet plug). Fix: Remove the plug, turn it 180 and plug the sync cord back in. Question: I do not have a household type connector on my studio flash system sync cord, what can I do? Answer: You will need to purchase a sync cord that will separate apart (usually at the middle) with a standard two-prong connector. Just simply disconnect the sync cord, turn it 180 and plug it in. (These cords can be purchased at www.paramountcords.com) Question: I switched the polarity, my studio strobes still do not fire. Answer: Could be a defective sync cord Fix: Have the customer check the sync cord by inserting a pen point to short out the center pin to the outer conductor. If the studio strobes do not fire, the sync cord is defective. If the studio

Page 9 of 11

strobes fire, have the customer hook the cord back into the camera and try a different aperture/shutter speed. If the studio strobes still do not fire, the camera needs to be sent in to Olympus for repair. Question: Should I be concerned about sync switching voltage from my studio strobes or flash units damaging my E-10/20N? Answer: No, the E-10/20N has a built in filter that protects the camera from high switching voltage. Question: I already have a safe sync adapter, can I use it on my E-10/20N. Answer: Yes, the use of safe sync adapters will not effect the camera's ability to provide the proper switching voltage. Question: Why do my exposures come out inconsistent when using my studio strobes in Program Mode? Answer: You cannot use the E-10/20N in Program Mode with studio strobes. Studio strobes are not compatible with TTL (Through The Lens) metering. You will need to set the Mode Dial to Manual Mode. Exposure is determined by flash output , ISO and the distance from flash to subject. Proper exposure can be determined with a flash meter. Question: I am having trouble in low light with auto-focus, what is wrong with my camera? Answer: All auto- focus sys tems need a fair amount of light or contrast to work efficiently. Fix: If possible, raise the ambient light if indoors. Search for an area within the desired focusing point with contrast to focus on. Question: Can I view my images directly on the computer as I am shooting? Answer: Unfortunately no, however images can be displayed instantly to a TV using the supplied video cable. Question: Can I rotate my images in camera or on the display to TV? Answer: No, images can be downloaded to a computer rotated in CamediaMaster and uploaded back to the camera to be viewed.

Page 10 of 11

Question: Why does it take so long for my E-20N to write to the media? Answer: Ask the customer if they have Noise Reduction on. Noise reduction is most effective with shutter speeds of of a second or longer. Question: If I purchase a high performance CompactFlash card for my E-10/20N, will it reduce the time writing to the media. Answer: No, the writing time is controlled by the camera, not by the Media. Question: I noticed on the base of my E-10/20N, there are two holes in front and behind the tripod socket, what are they used for? Answer: These holes are used for mounting the Support Arm for the TCON-300 Tele Extension Lens. The Support Arm has two pins that align to the holes at the camera's base. Question: When I install my AA sized batteries into the battery holder they do not fit properly, they appear to be too short? Answer: The E-10/20N battery holders are designed to fit the longer type CRV-3 lithium batteries and conventional sized AA NiMH batteries. Once installed into the battery compartment the AA sized batteries will make an electrical contact with the camera. Question: Can I recharge the CRV-3 batteries that come with the E-10/20N? Answer: No, the CRV-3 batteries that come supplied with the E-10/20N are disposable.

Technical specifications

Full description

Forever redefining digital photography, Olympus bolsters its influence in the demanding professional sphere with the five megapixel E-20 digital SLR. This is not just a camera with a fantastic resolution, but one that claims top photo performance across the board. Equipped with a wealth of innovative image optimization functions and photographic features, it opens up new application areas to professional photographers and is set to convince even the most staunch silver halide users. Ideal for studio work, such as portraiture and still life, this model also has the versatility to perform exceptionally on location. Besides achieving an enviable reputation for excellence among advertising and portrait photographers, this will also be a celebrated model in the world of sports and nature photography, thanks to, for example, the super-fast shutter speeds. With five million pixels, this competitively-priced CAMEDIA model boasts a sensational resolution. Yet, as every professional knows, a huge pixel count alone is not enough. The demanding user is also looking for extensive creative control and results that deliver breathtaking color, sharpness and clarity. That is why Olympus has equipped the E-20 with a dazzling combination of high-quality optics plus numerous photographic functions and ingenious features. In the high-speed world of sports and wildlife photography - where precious moments can last just a small fraction of a second - the ability to freeze the action in perfect clarity is vital. In such cases, fast shutter times take precedent over resolution. To give the photojournalist, for example, the chance to capture these fleeting moments, the camera includes a Progressive Scan shooting mode. By adjusting the number of pixels read to about half, it enables extremely fast shutter speeds of up to 1/18, 000 sec. To make sure the images dazzle, they are given an added "polish" by the TruePic process. Finished in classic black, the camera has even managed to improve on the ergonomic and functional aluminum body of the Olympus E-10 - one of Europe's best selling pro digital cameras. The design and positioning of the dials, buttons and switches are based on the suggestions of numerous experienced professional photographers, ensuring intuitive, blind operation after even just a short familiarization period. The camera's look and feel therefore underline its professional claims. For those still doubting digital photography's suitability for professional, commercial applications, the E-20 is sure to change their mind. This sensational innovation combines technological perfection with a myriad of photographic features to ensure precision shooting and total creative freedom.
