The Cameras Image
The camera’s Mechanical Image Stabilization is there to automatically compensate for camera shake in low-light situations or when you use a telephoto lens. If you set it in Movie Modes, the advanced Electronic Image Stabilization tracts the images both vertically and horizontally to help you achieve clear sharp movies that matches the performance of the in body IS. Of course you can’t help but accumulate dust and dirt with constant usage. The Dust Reduction System is there to assure you of spot-free images with the help of a patented ultrasonic technology called Supersonic Wave Filter. This filter vibrates to remove dust and other particles from the image sensor before shutting them inside a special adhesive membrane.
Moreover, the multiple exposure function enables you to be creative when taking either landscape or portrait photos. You can even combine the two should you choose to. You are given an endless number of choices with the multiple images you can capture and combine. What exactly can you create? Well, with the Olympus E-P1, the number is all up to you.
The camera has an impressive 19 automatic scene modes. Among which are Night-Scenes, Portraits, and Landscapes. Its Intelligent Auto Mode is otherwise known as iAuto. This basically identifies your shooting intent and adjusts the settings accordingly to achieve optimal results. The new ePortrait Mode also allows you to soften shadows and smooth out facial features before and after the capture. This basically means that you are free to edit anytime. The Face Detection function reduces the chance of blurred subjects even if they’re moving in the middle of the shot.
