As a result, the E-330 meets the needs of both entry-level digital SLR users who want to be able to take SLR-quality pictures with the rear-mounted LCD framing ease of a compact camera, and more experienced users who not only like to use a viewfinder for framing, but who also want to be able to take high-angle shots with both hands extended over their head, low-angle shots from near ground level, and macro shots where camera position can make it difficult to confirm composition and focus. To overcome this problem and allow users to frame their subject on a rear-mounted, variable-angle Live View LCD monitor, we employed the porro mirror viewfinder system used on the E-300, and incorporated a separate CCD sensor dedicated to LCD display in the viewfinder's optical path. But until now, the position of the main mirror in front of the taking sensor has made it difficult to achieve live view shooting with conventional digital SLR cameras. For compact digital camera users who have never used a digital SLR before, the inability of a digital SLR to display a live view on its rear-mounted LCD monitor can be confusing. As such, our development goal was to combine the accurate framing and focusing benefits of an SLR camera with the convenience and ease of use of a compact digital camera. The E-330 was developed for the wide range of users who want to more easily enjoy the "shoot what you see, and see what you shoot" advantages inherent to SLR cameras. During this time we further consolidated the Olympus E-System and realized our development objectives by introducing 14 designed-for-digital Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses. In November 2005 we introduced the world's lightest digital SLR camera body, the E-500. In October 2003, we introduced the first-generation E-1 for professional users, and in December 2004, the E-300 for consumers and photo-enthusiasts. In 2002, in a clean break from the conventional approach of basing digital SLR cameras on existing 35mm SLR camera systems, Olympus proposed the Four Thirds System, an entirely new designed-for-digital SLR system that was conceived to fully realize the image quality and performance potential that digital SLR cameras offer. In addition, the camera's revolutionary design makes it easy for users to capture low-angle and high-angle shots that are extremely difficult to take when looking through a viewfinder.Īmong interchangeable-lens-type Full-time Live View AF digital SLR cameras. The E-330 offers the outstanding mobility, operating ease, reliability, and image quality of an SLR camera while allowing users to frame their subjects in either the viewfinder or LCD monitor. And to ensure Live View capability for macro shooting, we employed a newly developed, 4/3-type, 7.5-megapixel Live MOS sensor as the taking sensor. In addition, we employed the class-leading, 2.5-inch, HyperCrystal monitor for which the Olympus E-500 has been praised, and equipped it with a variable-angle mechanism that allows the monitor to be tilted on the vertical axis to maximize the shooting freedom that Live View framing offers. This feat, which has until now been thought difficult to achieve, was made possible by mounting a dedicated CCD sensor for LCD display, separate from the taking sensor, in the optical path of a porro mirror viewfinder like the one used on the Olympus E-300. The E-330 is the first interchangeable-lens-type AF digital SLR in the world to offer full-time, "Live View" subject framing via a rear-mounted LCD monitor. Newly developed, 4/3-type, 7.5-megapixel Live MOS sensor World's first* variable-angle, 2.5-inch, high-definition HyperCrystal LCD monitor World's first* AF digital SLR with a full-time "Live View" LCD monitor The E-330 is scheduled to go on sale in Japan at the end of February, 2006. Called the E-330, it is the first interchangeable-lens-type AF digital SLR in the world to offer full-time subject framing via a rear-mounted LCD monitor. Olympus Imaging Corporation (President: Masaharu Okubo) is pleased to announce the introduction of the fourth digital SLR camera in the designed-for-digital Olympus E-System.
