Features
The E-510 incorporates a image stabilizer unit based on a breakthrough SWD*
system designed and developed originally by Olympus to correct blurring of
images caused by unsteady hands even under low light or when a lens with a long
focal distance is used. The newly developed sensor with blurring frequency
analysis/detection capability and a motor with excellent responsiveness and
controllability enable the image stabilizer unit to respond to vibrations from
less than 1 Hz to 7Hz and achieve a correction effect equivalent to 2 to 4 EV
steps.

The new Live View function displays the information required for photography on
the rear-panel LCD monitor. The AF, exposure correction and white balance can
all be adjusted more intuitively as they can be viewed on the LCD monitor. This
also enhances the camera’s mobility and flexibility.
- Photography with confidence: Smile assured by not losing eye contact
- Photography from free viewpoint: Masterpieces from the viewpoint of kid or pet
- Intuitive operation: Focusing and exposure as viewed on the screen.
The new 10-million pixel Live MOS sensor reproduces images with rich gradations
equivalent to an 8-million pixel CCD. It has achieved about 80% reduction of
power consumption so that the Live View function can be activated permanently.
By simplifying the sensor structure through radical improvement of the material
and processing technology based on Olympus’s well-regarded MOS signal
amplification technology and by forming the sensor circuits integrally on a
flexible board, the contact resistance due to signal exchange and wiring has
been minimized. This reduces the power consumption, heat generation and noise
generation of the image sensor unit.
