OLYMPUS PEN 50th Anniversary

Posted on Tuesday, June 09, 2009 No Comments

ป้ายกำกับ: Camera, Olympus

By using the half-frame format, Olympus was able to reduce both the weight and size of the Olympus Pen. It featured a simple rear-winding mechanism, a D-Zuiko lens for superior photographic quality, and an attractive design that also made the camera extremely easy to use. The Pen was a compact mix of innovative ideas that triggered the half-frame camera boom of the 1960s and 1970s. Cumulative sales of Pen Series cameras exceeded 17 million units. The highly original concepts embodied in the Pen Series would eventually lead to the creation of the legendary Pen F Series half-frame single-lens system.

Olympus Pen (1959)

The first-generation Olympus Pen camera appeared in 1959. The design process began with the concept of creating a camera that could be sold for ¥6,000 yen. The Pen combined the superb photographic performance of the D-Zuiko lens with excellent portability, and it was also used by professional photographers as a secondary camera.

Olympus PenEE (1961)

With the Olympus Pen EE, the emphasis was on efficiency. Features included fixed focus, a shutter speed of 1/60 sec., and automatic exposure adjustment. Anyone could take beautiful photographs simply by pushing the button. The camera was priced at ¥10,000 yen. Olympus eventually introduced eight models in the Olympus Pen EE series, which became a driving force for the popularity of the Pen cameras.

Olympus PenEES (1962)

Launched in 1962, the Olympus Pen EES was the world's first camera with a programmable EE shutter. The shutter speeds were 1/30 and 1/250 sec. The shutter speed changed automatically according to light level, thus increasing the appropriate exposure range. A three-zone focus system was used to adjust the focal point. The Olympus Pen EES heralded the start of the programmable EE camera boom.

Olympus PenD (1962)

The Olympus Pen D was introduced in 1962 as the top model in the Olympus Pen range. Many professional features were packed into its compact body, including a high-performance F1.9 large-aperture lens, a high-speed 1/500 sec. shutter, and a built-in exposure meter that allowed direct reading of the LV.

Olympus PenEM (1965)

The Olympus Pen EM went on sale in 1965 with three new features: an electronic shutter, automatic film advance, and automatic rewind.

The electronic shutter allowed an exposure range from 30 sec. down to 1/500 sec. according to the brightness of the subject. Power for the shutter, film advance and rewind systems was provided by two built-in AA batteries. While the Olympus Pen EM had a major influence on the future of electronic technology and automation in cameras, there were manufacturing problems that could not be overcome with the technology then available. Sadly, production ceased after just one year.

Olympus PenF (1963)

The Olympus Pen F was the world's first and only half-frame system single-lens reflex camera, released in 1963. The camera featured a porro-prism finder and was the first to have a rotary titanium shutter. It could be used with a highly versatile range of 20 exchangeable lenses. The Olympus Pen F was a revolutionary camera packed with innovative features. The rotary shutter, which combined speed with durability, was reportedly perfected only after long and hard effort by Olympus engineers.

Olympus PenFT (1966)

The Olympus PEN FT went on sale in 1966. Though identical to the Pen F in external appearance, it had a built-in TTL exposure meter.

When the camera was pointed at a subject, the TTL number exposure control system displayed an aperture number in the view-finder according to the shutter speed setting. There were many other enhancements, including a single-action film advance system, and a built-in self-timer.

TIPA Award as the "Best D-SLR Entry Level" digital camera for 2009

Clearly impressed by its ease of use and accessibility, the TIPA jury had this to say about the Olympus E-620 - the world's smallest and lightest creative digital SLR with built-in image stabilization: "This lightweight 4/3 D-SLR camera features enough technologies to satisfy all novice photographers". In selecting the Olympus E-620 as the "Best D-SLR Entry Level" for 2009, the jury also noted that "beyond the 3200 ISO sensitivity of its Live MOS 12.3 MP sensor, we welcome its autofocus system with 7 points, several artistic filters and the swivelling display which allows the use of Live View from all angles". The new award-winning E-620 sees Olympus chalking up another success in its mission to put advanced digital photography technologies into the hands of ambitious photographers everywhere.

New Key Features

New 12.3 Megapixel High Speed Live MOS sensor and TruePix III+ image processor. We'd expect this to be the same sensor as appeared in the E-30.
Sensor-shift image stabilization system with a claimed 4 stop advantage (rather than the 5 stops claimed for the E-3).
New Autofocus System. The E-620 gets a greatly upgraded AF system compared to the previous entry-level models. Rather than having three AF points, it has seven, the central five of which are cross-type (sensitive both horizontally and vertically).
The E-620's standard kit lens is the 14-42mm F3.5-5.6, which is capable of imager (contrast detect) autofocus in live view.
New fully articulated screen. 230,000 pixel multi-angle, 2.7" HyperCrystal III LCD (an improvement over the recent E-30)
Live View. Similar implementation to other Olympus DSLRs - fairly quick imager (contrast-detect) AF with selected lenses.
Improved viewfinder. 95% coverage and 0.96x magnification (compared to the similar coverage and 0.92x magnification of the E-4X0 and E-5X0 ranges).
Wireless Flash. The E-620 allows wireless control of flash units, such as the new Olympus FL-36R and FL-50R, in up to three groups.

New Power Grip HLD-5. Has room for two BLS-1 batteries, for portrait shots or long periods away from the charger.
There are a variety of Art Filters, selected from when the mode dial is in the Art/Scn position

The Olympus E-450 digital SLR

Accessible D-SLR quality

Key features

	The three in-camera Art Filters allow you to replicate dramatic effects as you shoot using the Autofocus Live View LCD. Choose from Pop Art, Soft Focus and Pin Hole Camera filters.
	On-Screen Autofocus with Live View works as seamlessly as a point-and-shoot to display subjects in focus on the LCD the instant the shutter is pressed half way.
	Face Detection Technology targets and locks on up to eight faces to ensure accurate focus for crystal clear, amazing portraits.
	Shadow Adjustment Technology captures detail in the bright areas of a frame and opens up detail in the shadows that other cameras would render too dark or underexposed.
	Certified as an Olympus Eco-product, this camera has a reduced environmental footprint across its entire product lifecycle, which encompasses not only the product and its packaging, but also the manufacturing and logistical processes in bringing the product to the marketplace.

The E-450 measures 5.1 inches by 3.6 inches by 2.1 inches, and it's a featherweight 13.4 ounces -- making it the world's smallest digital SLR with Art Filters.
The Olympus dust reduction system is an industry first and a proven technology. Every time you turn on the E-450, the Supersonic Wave Filter — located between the shutter and the image sensor – silently vibrates an amazing 35,000 times per second. Dust is flung away and collected so it can't come back.
The Digital Image Stabilization Scene Select Mode allows high ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speeds so you can freeze the action to capture sharp, blur-free images even if you or your subject is moving.
The E-450's 2.7" HyperCrystal II LCD delivers twice the contrast and better viewing in extreme lighting conditions, a broader range of color detail, and a wider angle of view on the LCD.
The powerful 10-megapixel Live-MOS sensor means you'll see more detail in your pictures than ever before. And you'll have the flexibility to crop and still produce large, detailed prints.
The E- 450's TruePic III processor gives you better color and quality through true-to-life skin tones, brilliant blue skies, precise color transitions, more detail and less image noise.
Expand your creative reach with wireless flash compatibility. The E-450 is compatible with the Olympus FL-50R and FL-36R wireless electronic flashes that are designed exclusively for digital photography.
With 18 easy to use Scene Select Modes you can simply select the right mode for your shot; the E-450 takes care of the rest. The 18 modes cover practically every common shooting scenario including Portrait, Fireworks, Sports, Landscape, Sunset and many more.
As soon as you grab the E-450, you'll notice how naturally it fits in your hand. The improved grip is ergonomically designed for superior comfort. The E-450's body is lightweight and stylish so it's a pleasure to carry and use for hours at a time.
Accepting CompactFlash Type I & II, Microdrives, and xD-Picture Cards, the E-450 provides a choice of data storage options for enhanced flexibility, and it is possible to transfer image files from one card to the other right inside the camera.

Perfect Shot Preview enables you to view and select your favorite effect right on the LCD, and see how the image will look before you even capture it.
Fire of a burst of shots at 3.5 frames per second. The E-450's burst rate is perfect for capturing the ideal shot at backyard birthday parties or at youth soccer games.
The E450's Auto White Balance function analyzes information from the scene and calibrates how a white object should appear under a variety of light sources, so your images turn out vibrant and life like.
The benefits of the Four Thirds Mount on the E-450 are many. You get a digitally designed image sensor, a compact design, as well as expandability and compatibility with the rest of the Four Thirds System.
Olympus' Zuiko Digital lenses provide edge-to-edge pixel-perfect clarity. Unlike film lenses, these advanced, precision-engineered 100-percent digital lenses are designed to work perfectly with all the camera's digital technology.
