In the digital SLR market, Olympus is only a small minority of brands, from the influence, sales, user groups, etc. The reflex of the Olympus E-520 is the successor to the E-510. And top image quality, the Olympus E-520 D-SLR fits the bill perfectly.

Good camera for new SLR users The camera itself is very rugid and feels very sturdy. I am very new to SLR photograpghy. Olympus-E520 Hola Gente: My only concern? Only have one format picture relation of 4:3 and I take all my pictures in 3:2 format. Olympus Evolt E520 10 MP DSLR The price was reasonable, so I took a chance. My last SLR was a 35mm Nikon.

You live for the thrill of nailing a tough shot and the challenge of capturing photos rich in color, clarity and detail. Thats why youll love the Olympus E-520 a DSLR for people who take photography seriously. This light, highly portable camera is packed with technology to help you take your skills to the next level. Its In-body Image Stabilization works with every Four Thirds lens to ensure crisp, clear photos.

In-body Image Stabilization for tack-sharp images at any focal length.
The E-520s In-body Image Stabilization ensures youll always capture clear images. Thanks to our camera shake correction technology, you can shoot up to four shutter speeds lower. The E-520 features three image stabilization modes. IS-1 helps to take clear shots at slow shutter speeds great for a candlelight scene or an evening campfire. IS-2 lets you pan while holding the camera horizontally perfect for shooting a moving object like a speeding race car. IS-3 lets you pan while shooting vertically ideal for taking shots of a basketball player charging up a court. You can manually adjust the focal length of any non-Four Thirds lens in any IS mode for effective stabilization. Even OM lenses can be stabilized using an optional adapter. The E-520s In-body Image Stabilization gives you more lenses to choose from. Every Four Thirds lens is stabilized from the widest to the most telephoto making the system amazingly cost efficient. You pay for Image Stabilization once instead of every time you buy a lens.
Live View. Advanced features to help you capture more.
Autofocus Live View now with Face Detection expands your shooting possibilities.
Shooting through an LCD instead of a viewfinder gives you more flexibility and creativity. View and take easier overhead shots. Take better macro shots with unique viewing angles. Quickly capture candid shots. The E-520s Live View offers real-time live viewing of your subject on a high-contrast, high-definition 2.7-inch HyperCrystal II LCD thats clearly seen even in bright sunlight. The E-520 uses a high-speed Imager AF for easy 11-point multi-area autofocusing with Live View simply press the shutter button halfway. Use a preview feature to check the effects of white balance, exposure and Shadow Adjustment Technology on the LCD before shooting. Face Detection works with Live View to automatically detect up to eight faces in a frame and focus appropriately.

Magnify your image.

Enlarge an image on the LCD up to 10 times for more precise focusing especially helpful for macro photography. You can autofocus after the image is magnified.

10x magnification

Preview your creativity.
Perfect Shot Preview lets you instantly compare the effects of up to four different exposures or white balance settings. Choose your settings by selecting an image on the LCD.
The selected setting is applied.

Check your composition.

Framing-assist patterns like a golden grid or a histogram can be displayed on the LCD while shooting in Live View. Check your composition and exposure before shooting.
HyperCrystal II LCD for effortless viewing.
The generous 2.7-inch HyperCrystal II LCD features 230,000-dot resolution, exceptional contrast ratio and stunning color reproduction. Compose more creatively and see more clearly, thanks to a wide viewing angle of 176.

Take dust out of the picture.
Once dust gets on the image sensor, it shows up in the same spot on every picture. Our revolutionary, proven Dust Reduction System features a Supersonic Wave Filter (SSWF) located in front of the image sensor that vibrates an astounding 30,000 times per second. Dust is shaken off so youll always get spotfree photos.

The proper method for taking pictures of flowers differs depending on whether you want to capture, for example, a single flower, a field of blooming flowers, a deep red rose, or the light color of a sweet pea. Changing white balance There are many colors of flowers ranging from light to vivid ones. Depending on the colors of the flowers, subtle color shades may not be captured as seen. In this case, you can check the light conditions and change the white balance setting. At [AUTO], the camera automatically determines the type of light and shoots using the proper white balance. However, you can bring out subtle color shades more effectively by changing the setting according to shooting conditions, such as by using [55300K] for sunny days and [27500K] for outdoor shaded areas on sunny days. Using exposure compensation When shooting flowers against a background, select as simple a background as possible to bring out the shape and color of the flower. When shooting bright and whitish flowers, adjust the exposure compensation to (minus) so that the flower stands out from the darker background.
Changing shooting mode The proper shooting method when taking pictures of flowers differs depending on whether you want to emphasize a single flower or capture a field of flowers. To change the focus area, set the camera to A (aperture priority shooting) mode and select the aperture value. When you open the aperture (decrease the aperture value), the camera focuses within a shorter range (with a shallow depth of field), emphasizing the subject against a blurred background. When you close the aperture (increase the aperture value), the camera focuses over a wider range (with more depth of field), producing a picture with both the foreground and background in focus. You can use the preview function to confirm the changes in the depth of field when the aperture is changed. Using live view When using a conventional digital single-lens reflex camera with interchangeable lens system, it was necessary to wait until after taking the picture to check the results of the exposure compensation and white balance settings. With the live view function of this camera, however, you can use the monitor to display and check the subject you want to capture.

In order to use the < button, [Fn FACE DETECT] needs to be set up in the menu in advance. g; FUNCTION (P. 91) After setting [g FACE DETECT] to [ON] while using the < button, the following functions are automatically set to the best settings for taking pictures of people.

If the camera detects a face, a frame will be displayed in that location.
When you press the shutter button, the camera will focus on the position of the face detection frame (however, if a single AF target is selected with [AF AREA], the camera will focus on the AF target selected). With [AF SENSOR] or [HYBRID AF], the camera will focus on the AF target that is closest to the face detection frame.
During sequential shooting, face detection will work only at the first shot. Depending on the subject, the camera may not be able to correctly detect the face.
Taking a picture using manual focus
During live view, you can take a picture focusing manually while checking the focus on the LCD monitor.
Set the AF mode to [S-AF+MF] or [MF]. gAF mode selection (P. 52) Adjust the focus by rotating the focus ring.
In [S-AF+MF] mode, after pressing the shutter button halfway or pressing the AEL/AFL button, you can rotate the focus ring to finely adjust the focus before taking the picture. Using the enlarged display can be very convenient when adjusting the focus manually. gEnlarged display operation (P. 41)

The charger can be used in most home electrical sources within the range of 100 V to 240 V AC (50/60Hz) around the world. However, depending on the country or area you are in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently and the charger may require a plug adapter to match the wall outlet. For details, ask at your local electrical shop or travel agent. Do not use commercially available travel adaptors as the charger may malfunction.

Interchangeable lenses

Select the lens that you want to shoot with. Use a specified Four Thirds lens (Four Thirds mount). When a non-specified lens is used, auto focus and light metering will not function correctly. In some cases, other functions may not work either. Four Thirds mount Developed by Olympus as the lens mount standard for the Four Thirds system. These all-new interchangeable lenses featuring the Four Thirds mount were developed from the ground up based on optic engineering exclusively for digital cameras.
ZUIKO DIGITAL interchangeable lens
Four Thirds system interchangeable lens are designed to withstand rigorous professional use. The Four Thirds system makes it possible for a fast lens to be compact and lightweight as well. Focal length and depth of field of Four Thirds system lenses When compared to 35-mm cameras, Four Thirds system cameras achieve different effects at the same focal length and aperture. Information
s0018_e_00_0_unified.book Page 123 Tuesday, March 18, 2008 4:08 PM
Focal length At the same focal length of a 35-mm camera, a Four Thirds system camera can achieve a focal length equivalent to twice that of a 35-mm camera. This enables the design of compact telephoto lenses. A 14-50 mm Four Thirds system lens, for example, is equivalent to a 28100 mm lens for a 35-mm camera. When the image angle of Four Thirds system lens is converted to that of a 35-mm camera, the perspective is the same as that of a 35-mm camera. Depth of Field A Four Thirds system camera can achieve a depth of field equivalent to two times deeper than that of a 35-mm camera. This enables more light to enter through the aperture. A Four Thirds system lens with f2.0 brightness, for example, is equivalent to f4.0 when converted to the aperture of a 35-mm camera. You can achieve the same amount of background blur as if you were using a 35-mm camera.

Technical specifications

Full description

The Olympus E-520 delivers brilliant results thanks to advanced technologies that produce clear, sharp images. The E-520's industry-leading Image Stabilization technology, which is built into the camera body, compensates for movement so you can capture blur-free shots with any lens - even at slow shutter speeds. Autofocus Live View brings subjects into sharp focus; it is the perfect tool for macro, portrait or even landscape shooting. This camera was built to produce amazing results for photo hobbyists and serious digital photographers alike. This product bundles with ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 lens. This 3x standard zoom lens is the smallest and lightest in its class and features a closest focusing distance of only 25cm. The ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and two aspherical lens elements correct aberrations without increasing lens dimensions. The circular aperture diaphragm enables beautiful defocusing - one of the big advantages of this lens. Excellent mobility is assured by a weight of less than 190 grams.
