Enjoy SLR quality with intuitive operation
The Live Guide interface allows you to create highly original photographs just by following a series of simple steps. You'll be able to easily and intuitively adjust five parameters critical to advanced SLR photography including defocusing, while viewing the LCD.
Live Guide
With the iAUTO function that sets the optimum picture mode when you point the camera at the subject, Olympus made sure that every picture turned out just right. Now, with Live Guide, you'll be able to manipulate various photographic parameters like a pro and take unique pictures that truly reflect your vision. All you have to do is select one of the five parameters ("color vividness", "color balance", "image brightness", "depth of field" and "subject in motion") and adjust the selected parameter by turning the control dial, while observing changes on the LCD monitor screen. Plus, Live Guide is supplemented by "Shooting Tips", which explains in clear, simple language how to take advantage of advanced shooting techniques such as the selection of the angle and composition according to each subject. It helps you take advantage of advanced photographic techniques and get the kind of amazing results you've always dreamed of.

Features
Enjoy SLR quality with intuitive operation
The Live Guide interface allows you to create highly original photographs just by following a series of simple steps. You'll be able to easily and intuitively adjust five parameters critical to advanced SLR photography including defocusing, while viewing the LCD.
Live Guide
With the iAUTO function that sets the optimum picture mode when you point the camera at the subject, Olympus made sure that every picture turned out just right. Now, with Live Guide, you'll be able to manipulate various photographic parameters like a pro and take unique pictures that truly reflect your vision. All you have to do is select one of the five parameters ("color vividness", "color balance", "image brightness", "depth of field" and "subject in motion") and adjust the selected parameter by turning the control dial, while observing changes on the LCD monitor screen. Plus, Live Guide is supplemented by "Shooting Tips", which explains in clear, simple language how to take advantage of advanced shooting techniques such as the selection of the angle and composition according to each subject. It helps you take advantage of advanced photographic techniques and get the kind of amazing results you've always dreamed of.
Blur background
Select "Depth of field" from the menu, and rotate the control dial to the "Blur" position for the desired blurring point.
Sharp background
Rotate the control dial to the "Sharp" position to get sharp focus throughout the depth of field.
Movie compatibility
With the E-PL2, the Live Guide can be used in movie recording as well as in still image shooting. Sophisticated SLR-style imaging is now also available with movies.
3.0-inch 460,000-dot LCD monitor
The 3.0-inch HyperCrystal LCD monitor has a definition of 460,000 dots, which allows you to clearly see delicate gradations in images, as well as text readouts.
HD Movie
In addition to SLR-quality movies, the E-PL2 lets you create artistic photographs using Art Filters. Sound is recorded in the high-quality linear PCM format. When an optional SEMA-1 Microphone Set 1 is used, stereo recording is also possible. And when connected to HDMI-equipped TV set*1 via a commercially available HDMI mini-cable, you can control the camera's playback operation using your TV's remote control unit*2.
- *1 Only when used with an HDMI-CEC compatible TV set.
- *2 Some operations may not be available depending on the TV set used.
- * The frame rate varies according to the Art Filter used. With the "Diorama" Art Filter, the subject is recorded at a slower frame rate and played back at a higher rate, so sound recording is not possible.
- * For movie recording, it is recommended to use an SD/SDHC/SDXC card compatible with a speed class of 6 or higher.
- * The photo is for illustrative purposes only.
- * Product availability depends on sales areas.
- * Color availability depends on sales areas.
Unleash the visionary within
The camera is more than just a tool for recording images, it's also a means of self-expression. If you're the kind of person who wants to express their creativity through photography, the E-PL2 is the camera for you. It incorporates six Art Filters with Art Filter variations and three Art Effects that give you the kind of creative power previously only possible using special lenses or computer processing.
Art Filters
Olympus-original Art Filters were developed to put the power of special lenses and sophisticated computer image processing at your fingertips. Now you can take unique, artistic photographs at the touch of a button. Plus, the E-PL2 also comes with Art Filter variations* that expand the range of filter effects and an Art Effect function that adds various composition effects to the picture. You can check out the results on the LCD monitor before you shoot. It's never been easier to express yourself.
* The variations include Pop Art II, Grainy Film II and Pin Hole II and III.
Art Effect function
The E-PL2 incorporates the new Art Effect function that lets you add various picture composition effects to each Art Filter. Three effects are provided, including the Art Frame effect*1 to add a stylish frame, the Pin Hole effect*2 to reduce the brightness of the peripheral area and the Soft Focus effect*2 to blur the focus while preserving the essence of the image.
*1. Applicable to Pop Art, Grainy Film, Pin Hole and Dramatic Tone.

"Shoot & Share" - New communication style.
The Olympus PENPAL option provides the E-PL2 with the ability to transfer recorded pictures to a smartphone. As soon as you take a picture, you can send it to friends and family to share and enjoy. It's a new to communicate and a great way to share the joy of photography.
PENPAL
Connect the optional OLYMPUS PENPAL PP-1 Communication Unit to the camera's Accessory Port 2 and you'll be able to transfer recorded SLR-quality pictures to a Bluetooth-equipped smartphone or another PENPAL unit installed on a camera. Instead of having to upload a recorded picture to a computer and then attaching it to an email, you'll be able to immediately share the impressions you captured in a picture with friends around you. The E-PL2 makes sharing your images a real-time event. The PENPAL is also convenient for those who want to upload pictures from a smartphone to the Internet because you won't need a computer. As the PENPAL also incorporates a large-capacity memory able to store more than 2600 pictures (image size of 1920 x 1440 pixels), it can also serve as an album of favorite pictures.
* * Pictures in the JPEG format can be transferred. The pictures are resized into 640 x 480, 1280 x 960 or 1920 x 1440 pixels. * * Functions may not be available depending on the sales area.

Enjoy SLR quality with intuitive operation
The Live Guide interface allows you to create highly original photographs just by following a series of simple steps. You'll be able to easily and intuitively adjust five parameters critical to advanced SLR photography including defocusing, while viewing the LCD.
Live Guide
With the iAUTO function that sets the optimum picture mode when you point the camera at the subject, Olympus made sure that every picture turned out just right. Now, with Live Guide, you'll be able to manipulate various photographic parameters like a pro and take unique pictures that truly reflect your vision. All you have to do is select one of the five parameters ("color vividness", "color balance", "image brightness", "depth of field" and "subject in motion") and adjust the selected parameter by turning the control dial, while observing changes on the LCD monitor screen. Plus, Live Guide is supplemented by "Shooting Tips", which explains in clear, simple language how to take advantage of advanced shooting techniques such as the selection of the angle and composition according to each subject. It helps you take advantage of advanced photographic techniques and get the kind of amazing results you've always dreamed of.
Select "Depth of field" from the menu, and rotate the control dial to the "Blur" position for the desired blurring point.
Rotate the control dial to the "Sharp" position to get sharp focus throughout the depth of field.
With the E-PL2, the Live Guide can be used in movie recording as well as in still image shooting. Sophisticated SLR-style imaging is now also available with movies.
3.0-inch 460,000-dot LCD monitor
The 3.0-inch HyperCrystal LCD monitor has a definition of 460,000 dots, which allows you to clearly see delicate gradations in images, as well as text readouts.
In addition to SLR-quality movies, the E-PL2 lets you create artistic photographs using Art Filters. Sound is recorded in the high-quality linear PCM format. When an optional SEMA-1 Microphone Set 1 is used, stereo recording is also possible. And when connected to HDMI-equipped TV set*1 via a commercially available HDMI mini-cable, you can control the camera's playback operation using your TV's remote control unit*2.
- *1 Only when used with an HDMI-CEC compatible TV set.
- *2 Some operations may not be available depending on the TV set used.
- * The frame rate varies according to the Art Filter used. With the "Diorama" Art Filter, the subject is recorded at a slower frame rate and played back at a higher rate, so sound recording is not possible.
- * For movie recording, it is recommended to use an SD/SDHC/SDXC card compatible with a speed class of 6 or higher.
Unleash the visionary within
The camera is more than just a tool for recording images, it's also a means of self-expression. If you're the kind of person who wants to express their creativity through photography, the E-PL2 is the camera for you. It incorporates six Art Filters with Art Filter variations and three Art Effects that give you the kind of creative power previously only possible using special lenses or computer processing.
Art Filters
Olympus-original Art Filters were developed to put the power of special lenses and sophisticated computer image processing at your fingertips. Now you can take unique, artistic photographs at the touch of a button. Plus, the E-PL2 also comes with Art Filter variations* that expand the range of filter effects and an Art Effect function that adds various composition effects to the picture. You can check out the results on the LCD monitor before you shoot. It's never been easier to express yourself.
* The variations include Pop Art II, Grainy Film II and Pin Hole II and III.
Art Effect function
The E-PL2 incorporates the new Art Effect function that lets you add various picture composition effects to each Art Filter. Three effects are provided, including the Art Frame effect*1 to add a stylish frame, the Pin Hole effect*2 to reduce the brightness of the peripheral area and the Soft Focus effect*2 to blur the focus while preserving the essence of the image.
*1. Applicable to Pop Art, Grainy Film, Pin Hole and Dramatic Tone.

Expand your photography style
"Shoot & Share" - New communication style.
The Olympus PENPAL option provides the E-PL2 with the ability to transfer recorded pictures to a smartphone. As soon as you take a picture, you can send it to friends and family to share and enjoy. It's a new to communicate and a great way to share the joy of photography.
PENPAL
Connect the optional OLYMPUS PENPAL PP-1 Communication Unit to the camera's Accessory Port 2 and you'll be able to transfer recorded SLR-quality pictures to a Bluetooth-equipped smartphone or another PENPAL unit installed on a camera. Instead of having to upload a recorded picture to a computer and then attaching it to an email, you'll be able to immediately share the impressions you captured in a picture with friends around you. The E-PL2 makes sharing your images a real-time event. The PENPAL is also convenient for those who want to upload pictures from a smartphone to the Internet because you won't need a computer. As the PENPAL also incorporates a large-capacity memory able to store more than 2600 pictures (image size of 1920 x 1440 pixels), it can also serve as an album of favorite pictures.
Expand your photography style with optional accessories.
If you wish to try more advanced shooting techniques, check our list of optional accessories. We offer a wide range of accessories including converter lenses and a macro arm light that will increase your flexibility and support your creativity, making it easy to enjoy advanced photography.
Converter lenses
These converter lenses are designed to be mounted on the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 II standard zoom lens* and provide the same flexibility as an interchangeable lens. Three converter lenses are available: MCON-P01 Macro Converter that changes maximum magnification to 0.28x (equivalent to 0.56x in 35mm camera), WCON-P01 Wide Converter that changes focal length to 11mm (equivalent to 22mm in 35mm camera) and FCON-01 Fisheye Converter that changes angle of view to 120.

MAL-1 Macro Arm Light
The macro arm light is optimized for close-up shooting of a small subject. It consists of two flexible arms, each of which has a white LED light on the distal end. The angle of each light can be precisely adjusted so that you can easily achieve the desired lighting effect.

Enhanced Shooting Functions
Built-in image stabilization
A reliable image stabilization system is built into the E-PL2's camera body. Since it can function with any lens combination from wide-angle to telephoto, you can enjoy the convenience of digital camera shooting with the flexibility of SLR-style interchangeable lenses.
Eye Detect AF
The E-PL2 incorporates the Eye Detect AF, which adjusts the focus on the subject's eye closest to the camera when the subject is the upper part of a human body. This ensures that the eyes — the most important factor determining human facial expressions — are captured clearly.
i-ENHANCE
The i-ENHANCE mode is set automatically when the iAUTO function is selected, and the camera determines the optimum color and contrast conditions to emphasize the subject.
Multi-Aspect
This function makes it possible to select the aspect ratio of the picture. In addition to the standard 4:3 aspect ratio, 6:6 for regular square format, 16:9 aspect ratio for cinematic-style images, and 3:2 which is equivalent to the 35mm film size are available. You can select the aspect ratio that best suits your creative requirements.
e-Portrait
The "e-Portrait" scene mode smoothes out skin tones and texture. The camera saves the same image before and after compensation*.
Built-in flash
The E-PL2 incorporates a built-in flash that makes it easy to take advantage of the flash in any situation, such as when shooting portraits with a night scene background. There's also a commander function for wireless control of optional external flashes. Now you can easily take advantage of high-quality flash shooting.

Secure Digital Cards - High-Capacity
Performance and capacity redefined with Kingston's SD High-Capacity memory cards.
Kingston Technology's Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) memory cards are fully compliant with the new Secure Digital Association 2.00 specification. They are a new performance class of SD memory cards designed to meet the storage demands of high-quality digital still and video cameras and other high-resolution image recording devices.
Datasheet
Starting at 4GB, SDHC cards offer larger-volume data storage and optimized recording performance with support for FAT 32 file formats. In addition, Kingstons SDHC cards use new speed "class" ratings known as Class 4, 6 & 10 that deliver a minimum data transfer rate for optimum performance with SDHC devices.
Although identical in size to todays standard SD card, the new SDHC cards are designed differently and are only recognized by SDHC host devices. To ensure compatibility, look for the SDHC logo on cards and host devices (cameras, camcorders, etc.).
For added reliability and durability, our solid-state SDHC memory cards are built of nonvolatile memory components and have no moving parts that could wear out or break. All cards are 100-percent tested and are backed by a lifetime warranty and free live technical support.
