Olympus EVOLT E-300 - Manual (Page 8)

Three Metering Systems – Choose from Digital ESP
(Electro Selective Pattern) metering, center-weighted
average metering, or spot metering. Our proprietary Digital
ESP metering is widely acclaimed as it will calculate the best
light values, under complex lighting conditions.
Three Data Recording Formats – Select from RAW, TIFF,
and JPEG. If you prefer, image data can be recorded in RAW
and JPEG, simultaneously.
Contrast, Sharpness and Tone Controls – Whether you want
professional quality tonal fidelity or sharp, vibrant colors, you
can customize each image to suit your style and subject.
Two Color Space Settings – Choose from sRGB (the standard
for Windows ® environments and inkjet printer output) and
Adobe ® RGB (popular for commercial use).
White Balance – Settings from 3000K to 7000K can be set
in 12 steps, with additional fine-tuning available to each.
One-touch white balance function enables you to store and
retrieve up to four settings.
Noise Reduction – This function utilizes a proprietary
Olympus algorithm to detect and eliminate fixed noise that
can appear on long-exposure images.
High-Precision Flash Control – Take your pick from a wide
range of flash modes: Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Slow
Synchro (front and rear curtain), Fill-In and more.
Self-timer and Remote Control – The built-in self timer
offers you a 12- or two-second delay. The optional RM-1
remote control unit can be used with the two-second delay
setting or for immediate shutter release.
Should a camera
take your ability
for granted?
Pictures are important to all of us. Whether we’re capturing
a baby’s first step, a boy holding the one that almost hopped
away, or a graduation portrait – we all demand excellence from
our cameras, regardless of our own capabilities.
Fully-loaded functionality –
with simplicity, just to be sure.
To even the playing field for first-time users and advanced
photographers, the EVOLT E-300 can make decisions for you
automatically, or hand you control with increased customiza-
tion options.
Scene Modes – As described earlier, the Scene Program
modes on the dial and Select Scene Programs accessible
through the menu, make it easier and more likely you’ll get
the results you want .
Auto Focus – Using left, center and right AF points that can be
all active automatically or individually selected manually, the
AF system offers you a superimposed display confirming the
relevant target zone. To ensure accurate focusing in the dark,
EVOLT E-300 utilizes an AF illuminator built into the flash.
