• The E-450 is the latest in the line of ultra-compact digital SLR cameras from Olympus. Built on the core technologies of the popular E-420, this new model updates the series with creative Art Filters and a new and improved image processing engine, TruePic III Plus, for even better picture quality.

   

  The anti-bulky SLR camera
  

  The Olympus E-Four-Hundred series of SLR cameras have become firm favourites with the traveller who likes to pack lightly, the family SLR user, bushwalkers and even adventure enthusiasts. Designed for absolute carrying ease, the E-450 is the ideal SLR camera when weight and compactness are of the utmost importance.

   

   

  Art Filters for more creative fun
  

  The E-450 sports an updated image processing engine (TruePic III Plus) and includes three of the most popular Olympus Art Filters - Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pinhole. Olympus Art Filters replicate traditional software or filter effects, thereby eliminating the need for time-consuming and complicated post-shoot editing, and you can even preview the effect through LiveView before you shoot!

   

  The Pop Art filter intensifies colours dramatically without loss of tonal detail. This filter effect is especially useful in giving colours an instant boost when natural colours might be too dull. The Soft Focus filter provides a dreamy softening of tones - especially useful for beauty shots or portraits. The PinHole filter recreates the fascinating vignetting and colour shift effects of single meniscus toy camera pictures.

   

  Just some of the special images that you can create with the help of Art Filters - from top to bottom: Pop Art, Pinhole, Soft Focus

   

  Technology that is truly easy to use

   

   

  A simple half-press of the shutter release button easily activates autofocus during LiveView operation with the E-450's High Speed Imager AF system. This means even the complete camera novice is able to use the E-450 with ease.

  Face detection technology ensures that focus and exposure is optimised when taking people pictures in single or group portraits. Up to eight faces can be detected. Combined with Shadow Adjustment control, even difficult backlit shots will always appear properly exposed with both subject and background exposure optimally equalised.

   

  Face Detection in the LiveView shooting mode optimise focus and exposure to get great facial shots!

  If you'd rather just point, focus and shoot, the E-450 can automatically help you set the ideal camera settings using 18 pre-programmed Scene Select Automatic Exposure settings. All you need do is pick the type of picture you wish to take from the icon driven menu, and the camera comes up with the best settings for you.

   

  When shooting sports, the SPORT Scene Select AE mode will use fast shutter speeds to help you stop fast action.

   

  All your angles covered, compactly

  The Olympus E-System lens catalog features one of the largest digital lens system in the world, which means you will always be able to find a lens that suits your needs.

  The design advantages of the Olympus E-system is most evident when you start matching lenses for your own super compact E-450 camera kit.

  In addition to the class-leading 14-42mm and 40-150mm kit lenses, the razor sharp macro 35mm (70mm film equivalent), the stunning ultrawide 9-18mm (18-36mm), the amazing ultrazoom 18-180mm (36-360mm) - a traveller's favourite, and the remarkably tiny 25mm f2.8 standard lens are superb lenses that complement the weight and compactness of the E-450 perfectly. You'd be surprised at how competitively priced Olympus lenses are when you see their performance with your own eyes!
