Your portable creative studio. Pale & Light Colour: A fi lter that recreates a long-lost fl ash of memory or a still from a classic movie. Creativity included. Transform your images into works of art. Free your imagination. There are plenty of complex image-processing programs you can use to modify and improve your images to your heart s content on your computer at home. With the E-30, you always have your creative photo studio with you. The E-30 is the fi rst camera that combines the properties of a professional D-SLR camera with such a wide range of creative functions that you can use while shooting. Photography is a very personal means of creative expression. Maybe you have a favourite photographer whose work you can recognise immediately amongst hundreds of other pictures. With the E-30, you don t create just any images, you create your images. You can transform any of your images into works of art. The E-30 comes with the following six Art Filter functions: Pop Art Soft Focus Pale & Light Colour Light Tone Grainy Film Pin Hole 12 60mm 1:2.8 4.0 SWD, 1/80sec., 1:2.8 Art Filter: Pale & Light Colour, Aspect: 6:6 Soft Focus: Original The Soft Focus fi lter bathes your images in an ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere. Colours appear softer and warmer and lend your images the look of a different age. 14 54mm 1:2.8 3.5 II, 1/60sec., 1:3.0 Art Filter: Soft Focus, Aspect: 6:6 Art Filter: Pop Art Art Filter: Soft Focus Art Filter: Grainy Film Art Filter: Pale & Light Art Filter: Light Tone Art Filter: Pin Hole 4 5

Pop Art: The Pop Art fi lter transforms normal, everyday scenes into bright and colourful Pop Art. This effect enhances the saturation and brilliance to give your colours a punchy and vivid style reminiscent of the free and easy Pop Art era. ED 9 18mm 1:4.0 5.6, 1/1.6sec., 1:4.0 Art Filter: Pop Art, Aspect: 4:3 6 7

Light Tone: This fi lter applies a gentle touch to your im a- ges. The tonality of shadows and highlights is lightly rendered to give your image a more delicate look. 14 54mm 1:2.8 3.5 II, 1/60sec., 1:5.0 Art Filter: Light Tone, Aspect: 7:5 Multiple exposures as easy as single shots. Throughout the history of analogue photography, photographers have often applied multi-exposure techniques to give their images a particular look. With multi exposure, individual images are superimposed and merged to create a brand new, composite image. The E-30 is one of the few D-SLR cameras to feature an integrated multiexposure function. You can superimpose up to four individual frames and arrange them in any way you wish, or display complex motion sequences in one single image, all without any need for complicated software. Grainy Film: Let your image take on the coarse-grained, monochrome look of a shot on black-andwhite fi lm to express an entirely new feeling of drama and presence. + + 14 54mm 1:2.8 3.5 II, 1/60sec., 1:2.8 Art Filter: Grainy Film, Aspect: 7:6 Pin Hole: The pinhole camera effect darkens the edges of your shot and draws the eye to the central motif to create an image with an almost mysterious mood. 14 54mm 1:2.8 3.5 II, 1/40sec., 1:7.1 Art Filter: Pin Hole, Aspect: 16:9 8 9

Feel free to frame. Selecting the dimensions of the image format is a simple but effective way to reinforce the impression of your picture. The E-30 offers you a choice of nine different image formats: these include standard 4:3 format, 16:9 format for perfect images in widescreen cinema format, and a 6:6 medium format style. Simply select the format which is best for your shot and check the Live View monitor to see if the framing is right for the shot you imagined. Express your own individual style and let your motifs come alive with the perfectly fi tting format. 16:9 3:2 Widescreen 35mm camera 7:5 Large format A size 4:3 Standard 5:4 Large format 8" x 10" 6:5 10" x 12" 7:6 Medium format 6:6 Medium format 3:4 Standard portrait 9 18mm 1:4.0 5.6, 1/1.3sec., 1:4.0 Aspect: 16:9 10 11

See what you get before shooting with swivel AF Live View. Full image control before capture. The AF Live View with its 11-point multi-area high-speed contrast AF not only let s you shoot easily via the LCD, it also gives you full control on the image before shooting. This means that you can see the effect of your settings e.g. exposure, white balance or the art effects, and adjust them just before pressing the release button. A great benefi t to get to your ideal image in a most effi cient way. In addition, the shooting in Live View mode is extremely comfortable as you have a clear bright view on the 6.9cm/2.7" HyperCrystal II LCD even in direct sunlight or from extreme angles. On top, the dual-axis LCD can be swivelled in horizontal and vertical directions, opening up totally new perspectives for your photos from these extreme angles. Preview with 5, 7 or 10x zoom. The Live View function is also a major advantage for creative macro photography. Before pressing the shutter, you can magnify any part of the image you choose with a 5, 7 or 10 x zoom. Therewith the enlarged image can be scrolled to check the details of any position and to set the focus at exactly the position you like. For precision focusing, manual focusing is recommended, but Contrast AF can also be chosen. Optimising shadows and focus on faces. The E-30 makes it much easier for you to take people shots. With the help of Face Detection Technology, the camera identifi es and properly exposes up to eight different faces. If the faces are silhouetted against back light, Shadow Adjustment Technology (named as Gradation Auto in the camera menu) is activated to capture both the faces and the background clearly. Patterns for more creative control. Sometimes it is helpful for your creative composition to use a framing assistant. During Live View shooting, the E-30 s LCD monitor can display one of three framing assistant patterns including the golden section, gridlines and scale to adjust the image horizontally. You can also select the easy-to-read histogram that checks the exposure condition. Golden Section Low angle High angle Free-angle HyperCrystal II LCD with AF Live View 12

Transform your ideas into brilliant images. Faster is better. Securing 100% image quality. Built-in image stabilisation in the body, not in the lens. Catch the fl eeting moment. When deciding to buy a D-SLR camera, you not only need to know whether its specifi cations fulfi l your needs and that it supports your ideas of what creative photography should be, but also whether it delivers brilliant images. Olympus has the conclusive answer to your questions the Olympus E-30. 12.3 Megapixels, fi nest image quality. The quality of digital images is above all determined by the interaction between the image processor and the image sensor. The new TruePic III+ Image Processor with two Noise Reduction functions is the powerful heart of your camera. Together with the 12.3 Megapixel High-Speed Live MOS sensor and high-resolution lenses, the image processor not only ensures more precise, more detailed and truly natural images it also provides you with much more scope to concentrate on the creative side of photography. Dust-free lens changing at any time. Different motifs require different lenses. That s why professional photographers work with a variety of lenses. To ensure your creative possibilities the E-30 is well equipped for changing lenses even in dusty environments. The Supersonic Wave Filter (SSWF) protects the image sensor inside the camera from particles that can enter while changing the lenses. The SSWF is installed in front of the image sensor and vibrates at an ultra-high speed of more than 30,000 times a second. The tremendous power of the supersonic waves blasts the dust away from the sensor and assures you long-term, maintenancefree camera use. With the E-30 you can leave your tripod at home more often its integrated high accuracy gyro sensor and control system with supersonic motors guarantee pin-sharp shots, providing great support for longer exposures or for shooting freehand. This image stabiliser can compensate for up to 5 EV steps, and because the image stabiliser is installed in the camera body and not in the lens, it works with every lens you already own or may want to buy. No matter whether your photographic preferences include Fisheye or tele-zoom lenses. For some subjects, you need to be really fast. And, therefore, your camera needs to be faster still. After all, photography is all about capturing that fl eeting moment. The extremely fast autofocus technology of the E-30 ensures that you always capture what you see. Fast shutter speed. Brilliant sequences. Short exposure times can freeze fast movements, and the E-30 is ideal for those shots: with a fastest shutter speed of 1/8000sec. and an X-sync speed of 1/250sec., the E-30 ensures optimum exposure even under the strongest lighting conditions. In combination with its High-Speed Live MOS Sensor, Super-FP fl ash shooting with fullspeed sync up to 1/8000sec. is also possible in combination with the Olympus FL-50R or FL-36R external fl ash. Thanks to the super-fast True Pic III+ image processor and a high-precision mirror mechanism, the E-30 features continuous-burst shooting with up to fi ve frames per second. So, if you shoot a dynamic sequence, you will be certain to have captured the ideal shot. High-speed for high quality. The autofocus system of the E-30 features AF sensoring with a so-called Twin Cross Sensor in a half-pitch shifted pattern, i.e. instead of one single line, there are two vertical and two horizontal lines with 11 AF sensor points. This means a sum total of 44 distance-measuring points. Thanks to an extremely fast AF processor, all these points are processed simultaneously. In addition, you benefi t from this high-speed and high-accuracy AF with all Four Thirds lenses. You can choose from three different types of AF target patterns: All, which uses all 11 AF sensor points, Dynamic Single, with one selected point in the middle and the four points around it, and Single, with just one target point. The result? High AF accuracy and control combined with high speed on the same level as the Olympus top professional model E-3 so that you do not miss that fl eeting moment and can be sure your image has exactly the sharpness you want. with Image Stabilisation High-speed sequential shooting at 5fps Supersonic Wave Filter for dust reduction without Image Stabilisation All target Dynamic Single target Single target 14 15

Accuracy, speed and creativity with dedicated lens and flash. The true fully digital SLR system. Accuracy at supersonic speed. Complete fl ash control, even off-camera. A lens for every idea. Combined with one of the SWD lenses, e. g. the ED 12 60mm 2.8 4.0 SWD lens, the E-30 provides an AF drive of unparalleled high speed. The Supersonic Wave Drive (SWD) is a compact ultrasonic actuator with an incorporated ultra-compact encoder that detects positions and controls focusing with extremely high accuracy. From start to acceleration, control and stoppage, it moves the lens to the focusing position quickly and accurately, providing highspeed autofocusing. Additionally, a Supersonic Wave Drive of the E-30 is responsible for the high speed of the image stabiliser, which determines its outstanding effi ciency as well as the high speed of a Supersonic Wave Filter (Dust Reduction System) thus making it uniquely powerful. At one time or another, every photographer is confronted with a situation requiring one or more fl ashes, but where cables and connectors would be undesirable or even make it impossible to shoot. The wireless fl ash system of the E-30 provides absolute fl ash control without any awkward cables. Simply fi re off several wireless fl ash units (Olympus FL-50R or FL-36R) with the camera s integrated fl ash function. Now you can enjoy even more fl exibility in your choice of subjects by independently dosing the power from up to three separate groups of fl ash units to create precisely the lighting effects you require for each shot. In addition, Super-FP fl ash shooting with full speed sync up to 1/8000sec. is possible in combination with the FL-50R or FL-36 external fl ash. The Olympus E-System was specially conceived to meet the demands of high-class digital photography. The E-30 offers all the benefi ts of the E-System and provides ideal support for your creative photographic needs with a wide selection of fully digital lenses. Four Thirds Standard: Much more than a standard. Like all other E-System D-SLR cameras, the E-30 is also based on the Four Thirds Standard. This is a universal technical standard defi ned and utilised by several manufacturers who ensure the compatibility of all bodies and lenses constructed. This standard helps to 100% fulfi l the requirements of digital photography, especially near telecentric lenses that direct the light onto the sensor in an almost straight path for sharp, clear imaging all the way to the edges of the images. In addition, the Four Thirds Standard allows building extremely lightweight and compact yet still very bright lenses. For less load and more brilliance. Tatsuno quality: synonym for lens perfection. The high level of resolution and representation of the lenses has captured the heart of many professional photographers and supported their creative expression. Most of the lenses were born at the Olympus Tatsuno factory, which is the expression of the deep-rooted passion and commitment of Olympus for outstanding lens quality. Bringing together some of the world s most advanced ultra-high-precision lens-assembling technologies, advanced aspherical lens shaping and cutting-edge lens-measuring technologies, expert polishing skills and expert craftsmanship, the Tatsuno factory ensures that the highest precision standards are met. For example, the ED 300mm 1:2.8 lens is hand-polished to eliminate concavities to a tolerance of less than 1/10,000th of a millimetre. Only lenses which meet the stringent Tatsuno quality standards are permitted to carry the brand name. Miniaturised optics. Maximum brilliance. As the global market leader in endomicroscopy, Olympus is a specialist in the construction of extremely small lenses. This expertise is also refl ected in the Olympus camera design. Being based on the Four Thirds Standard, the Olympus E-System combines very compact camera bodies with extremely compact lenses that guarantee maximum sharpness, contrast and brilliance from the centre to the corners of each frame. Miniaturised optical systems considerably reduce the weight and volume of your camera system, while delivering images characterised by brilliant quality. 10m 60 5m 120 Direct fl ash shooting 1.

Even great ideas need some assistance. Great assistance for great ideas. The E-30 lets you express your creativity with a multitude of creative functions. But just as important are those functions that make your shooting more convenient and comfortable. So nothing will distract you from your ideas. Two control panels. No matter how you hold the camera, with the two control panels one on top and one on the back of the camera it s easy for you to check your shooting conditions and camera settings. The Super Control Panel on the rear LCD monitor allows you to select and set functions directly using the OK button. A brighter viewfi nder. The E-30 comes with a large, easy-view optical viewfi nder that delivers a coverage of 98% and a 1.02x magnifi cation factor for extremely precise viewing of shots. Its incredible resolution and the bright display captures even the fi nest details, makes manual focusing easier and offers highquality, natural colour reproduction. Gradation modes and more. You can set the gradation mode to Auto, High key, Normal and Low key. If you use the Auto mode, the built-in Shadow Adjustment Technology (SAT) will optimally balance overexposed highlight areas with under-exposed shadow areas. Additionally, the E-30 offers three types of light metering: Digital ESP, centre-weighted-average metering and spot metering. Bracketing functions for ISO, White Balance, exposure and fl ash as well as a wide variety of shooting modes are further valuable features. So that the outcome is always a perfect picture. Perfectly balanced perspectives. The E-30 has a 3-axis acceleration sensor that displays a bi-directional level gauge to detect tilting horizontally and in the forward and backward direction. It also enables you to easily adjust so that the camera is level. This is also very useful in situations where you cannot determine whether the camera is level, such as while shooting night scenes. Software for the entire workfl ow. The Olympus Master Software is designed to support creative photography: it lets you download, view, evaluate, archive and print your photos. The optional Olympus Studio software allows you to operate the camera via the computer s keyboard (PC or Mac), save photos directly onto the hard drive and view them on the computer s monitor. Features such as levels and gamma correction and batch mode let you easily edit images. And the virtual light box function makes selecting, grouping and editing photos comfortable.
