SUPPLY NOTE
Power Status / Charger Not Included: This camera body includes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, but does not ship with a wall charging unit. A standard external Olympus-compatible battery charger will need to be sourced separately to power up the device.
Body-Integrated Stabilization & Anti-Dust Technology
Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization: Outfitted with an internal hardware image stabilization matrix that uses an integrated gyro sensor to track and counter camera shake. Because this mechanical stabilization system is built directly into the camera chassis, it automatically stabilizes every single lens you attach to the body without requiring a premium price tag for specialized optics.
Dual Stabilization Performance Modes: Features two selectable stabilization tracking profiles:
Mode 1: Provides full omnidirectional compensation for standard low-light and stationary handheld capture.
Mode 2: Disables lateral compensation to facilitate smooth, intentional horizontal panning tracking shots during sports or action sequences.
Supersonic Wave Filter (SWF) Anti-Dust System: Eliminates the common nuisance of sensor debris. Every time the E-510 cycles on, a specialized filter silently vibrates at an astonishing 35,000 times per second, flinging dust and grit away from the sensor plane to guarantee pristine, spot-free image files.
Live View Composition & HyperCrystal LCD
Real-Time Live View Monitoring: Breaks away from traditional DSLR constraints by giving creators the flexibility to frame and compose subjects directly on the rear LCD screen in real-time, matching the seamless workflow of a compact point-and-shoot.
2.5″ HyperCrystal LCD Display: Features a high-contrast, 230,000-dot screen designed with a wide 176-degree viewing angle. This layout maintains deep color accuracy and visibility even when composing from awkward low angles or shooting under direct, harsh ambient sunlight.
TruePic III Image Processing: Translates full pixel data structure pipelines with great speed, providing crisp camera responsiveness, low-noise performance at higher ISO settings, and accurate, life-like skin tones.
Versatile Exposure Control & Creative Presets
10 Advanced Exposure Settings: Offers complete manual mastery over your exposure parameters via traditional Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Full Manual (M) control modes.
49-Point Digital ESP Metering: Incorporates a highly intelligent multi-zone metering sensor that evaluates lighting conditions across 49 independent zones to accurately balance exposure values in tough, high-contrast scenes.
19 Guided Scene Select Modes: Makes professional composition easy with 19 optimized scene profiles—including Fireworks, Night Scene, Sunset, Sports, and Landscape—instantly adjusting complex internal settings to deliver ideal results based on your environment.
Custom Color & Workspace Tuning: Fully compatible with standard sRGB and wide Adobe RGB color spaces, featuring five distinct color styles (Vivid, Natural, Muted, Monotone, and Sepia) to customize your creative aesthetic straight out of the camera.
System Architecture & Dual Media Media Bays
Dual Storage Card Configurations: Outfitted with two independent built-in memory card slots to handle data allocation. The layout simultaneously accommodates CompactFlash (Type I/II) or Microdrives alongside xD-Picture Cards, allowing for easy file backups and card-to-card image transfers internally.
Flexible Capture Options: Records images in raw, uncompressed RAW format for extensive post-production editing control, or universal JPEGs for instantaneous, no-hassle file sharing.
Integrated Auto-Popup Flash: Built with an intelligent pop-up flash mechanism featuring six operational modes (including red-eye reduction and manual intensity trim adjustments), complemented by a dedicated top-mount hot shoe for connecting external flash units.
Direct PictBridge Printing Connectivity: Supports driver-free PC-less printing workflows; simply link the camera directly to any PictBridge-compatible desktop printer via a standard USB 2.0 cable to print your selected captures straight from the LCD interface.
