In a way we didn’t even design your E-PL2. You did. Because this is what we asked ourselves: what would you do? You would put all the best technology in it to take the best pictures, obviously. You would make it compact and stylish, so it would be a pleasure to carry around with you, but you would give it inter -changeable lenses and a large sensor for SLR-like quality and HD movie shoo -ting capability. And despite an incredible range of functions and options, you would make it so easy and fun to use that taking pictures like a pro would be as easy as pointing and shooting. That is what you would have done, isn’t it? So it’s exactly what we did.

The moment you first picked up your PEN, it all made perfect sense.> ShOOting gReAt pictUReS hAS neVeR Been SO eASY.

PENPAL: SEND YOUR PICTURES FLYING.Digital photography is miraculously quick, but taking pictures is even more fun when you get to share them. And this is where PENPAL comes in. It transfers your images directly to your smartphone via Bluetooth, letting you go from “click” to your social network in no time. So from now on, before you even fire up the photo-sharing site on your phone’s browser, the picture is already there (or on another PEN with PENPAL). It’s not magic. But it’s close.*

The Accessory Port 2 lets you attach a wide range of accessories to add extra functionalities.

The thumb-operated LIVE WHEEL gives you instant access to all the main settings.

Exchange your lens with a push of a button and choose from the huge

line-up of superb PEN lenses.

The E-PL2’s variety of great shooting modes and scene settings are quickly and easily set. The built-in flash allows

you to take images even indifficult light situations.

Your new PEN has a sensor that puts it right up there with the SLRs, and its beautiful body houses more techno-logy and software than the lunar module that put the first man on the moon. But a camera can only capture what’s there, can’t it? Well, yes and no. Take the converters here as an example. Your vision is uniquely yours because nobody else sees things quite the same way, and the range of additional hardware helps you realize that vision, no matter what.*

FCON-P01 FISH-EYE CONVERTER

MCON-P01MACRO CONVERTER

WCON-P01 WIDE-ANGLE CONVERTER

Adds a new perspective to creative photography: the fish-eye bends our view of the world into a completely new experience.

Getting right up close is one of the most fascinating things in photography. So if you love to make the small things big, this is the way to make your lens go macro.

Makes your lens even more versatile by widening the scope from 14 to 11 milli -metres. For terrific landscape images with breathtaking depth of field.

FUNCTION

THE LIVE GUIDE: YOU JUST TURNED PRO. Photography basically comes down to a combination of focus, aperture size, shutter speed and flash settings – but getting those combinations right can be tricky! It used to be like this: while the pros knew in advance what result a mix of “ingredients” would do to the picture, us mere mortals had to rely on getting lucky. The LIVE GUIDE of your new PEN changes all that. It lets you choose all the parameters and shows you instantly, live, what the result will look like. You want to change the intensity of colour or blur the background to make your subject stand out more? Just do it! The LIVE GUIDE of your E-PL2 will guide you – whether you’re taking pictures or shooting HD video. So the play -ing field is now level. Sorry, pros!

SLIDE TO PERFECTIONYou want to blur the background? Well, with the LIVE GUIDE, you just move the slider until you see the picture you want. Same with all the other parameters. To be frank: it’s so easy, it almost feels like cheating.

INTENSITY OF COLOUR Do you like it clear and packed with vitality, or maybe with a little less contrast? The saturation slider lets you give your shots a punchier feel or a more romantic touch.

MOTION BLUR Motion blur or pin-sharp shots? Just move the slider and see the effect. The LIVE GUIDE shows you how to use the motion of objects to achieve your desired effect.

LIGHTING MOOD Could your photo be a little warmer? Or maybe you prefer a cooler look? The LIVE GUIDE shows the effects of changing the colour temperature by just moving the slider.

BRIGHTNESSBright or dark? A couple of short clicks are all it takes to find the level of brightness your photo needs.

NOW LIVE GUIDE

FOR STILLS

AND HD MOVIES!

PIXEL PERFECT: THE PICTURES YOU WANT.Photos can mean a lot. They might be the expression of your artistic vision, a visual trigger to your future memories, or any of a million other things. But all of them are important. All of them should be great. And the E-PL2 makes sure every single one of them is just that. With 12.3 million effective pixels, SLR-like precision in controlling the depth of field, colours and focus and, of course, the capability to shoot HD video, everything you need is in your hands. And the best part is, you don’t even have to think about it. It just works. And it works for you.

THE 3-INCH-LCD: THE WINDOW TO THE WORLD AS YOU SEE IT.The most important you have for realizing your creative vision is not your camera. It’s your eyes. And the 3-inch LCD display of your E-PL2 gives your eyes the best possible support, by showing you what your picture will look like on a big, bright, crystal-clear wide screen that shows all the details even in broad daylight. Even if you look at it almost sideways – the viewing angle is a stunning 176 degrees wide. This means that not only can you take exactly the pictures you want to, you can even edit them without a computer, right there on the best display of any PEN ever produced. Because your PEN goes everywhere with you, you are always ready to capture the moment – and everything seems bigger than real life.

BRIGHT & 176° VIEWING ANGLE.

GRAINY FILMDistinctly rock’n’roll: the filter of choice when you

are are hanging out backstage.

THE ART FILTER: JUST ADD IDEAS.Become a pop artist, add colour to your loved ones or tweak the look of your mother-in-law. Your PEN opensup a whole new world. Apply art filters either while you are shooting or afterwards, to both stills and HD video.
