Olympus Digital Foto E-500 Double Zoom Kit E500DZK User Manual

Four features were given priority in 

the development of the new Olympus 

E-500: maximum image quality, a 

flawless cleaning system for the hyper-

sensitive image sensor, ease of use

and a compact design. Based on the

FourThirds Standard, the E-500 

already boasts a wide range of 

accessories for virtually any demand,

including lenses specifically designed

for use in digital photography to

guarantee optimum performance. 

Making sure the tough demands of

daily use don’t compromise quality,

the camera incorporates a unique

cleaning system which is only 

available from Olympus. It ensures

that dust entering the camera’s

body during lens changes does not

land on the image sensor and

affect photos. What surprises at

first use of the camera is its low

weight, compact and practical

dimensions and its large, high-reso-

lution HyperCrystal LCD – which not

only delivers razor sharp previews of

images but also lets the user see all

camera settings at one glance. 

The E-500 makes for a sophisticated

all-round camera for any area of appli-

cation, whether business or private, on

the road or in the studio.
