The E-P1 gives you the option to apply Art Filter effects
to pictures and movies. Each filter creates a unique look
and style.
Pop Art super-saturates colors and creates brighter,
more vivid photographs.
Soft Focus creates a dreamlike quality, giving
photographs a fantasy feel.
Pale & Light Color brings soft, flat light and pastel
coloring to your photos to create a feeling of romance.
Light Tone brightens your entire image, including
its darker areas, providing more detail and light.
Grainy Film creates more dramatic shots. It
produces a gritty black-and-white film quality,
giving your photographs an edgier look.
Pin Hole darkens the outer edges of your
photograph, enhancing the subject in the center.
This creates the feeling of a new atmosphere and
brings the photograph to life.
When shooting with an Art Filter, the E-P1 captures your
images in both RAW and JPEG format. The original image
is saved as a RAW file and the Art Filter image as a JPEG,
preserving both the Art Filter image and the original shot.

Take your photography farther.
Capture your favorite shots
and overlay up to two images
to create a multiple exposure
image. You can compose and shoot your next frame while
your base shot is on the LCD. This way, you see what your
final result will look like even before you take the shot.

When shooting with the E-P1, choose from four aspect ratios
for more artistic freedom. Shoot in 4:3, perfect for an 8 x 10,
or 16:9, perfect for viewing on your widescreen television.
The E-P1 can also shoot in 6:6 and 3:2.

The Live Control function displays icons on the LCD
screen that correspond to all of the camera’s functions.
You can select and operate the controls without entering
into any menus. Any changes you make are applied to the
image in real time, allowing you to compose, edit and shoot
pictures without stopping. With the E-P1, you have the option
of shooting in Live Control or with the Super Control Panel.

With the E-P1 you can shoot HD-quality movies. Record in
standard 4:3 (640 x 480, 30 fps) or the widescreen-compatible
16:9 (1280 x 720, 30 fps) aspect ratio. The image sensor in the
E-P1 is much larger than in an HD video camera, and offers
higher image quality for your movies. And because the
E-P1 has SLR capabilities, it provides other unique features
you can’t get from an ordinary video camera. You can use
different lenses—even shoot your movie with a 17mm. The
E-P1 also has in-body Electrical Image Stabilization, so your
movies will be crystal clear with any lens. You even have the
ability to apply photographic effects, including Art Filters, to
all your movies.

makes it possible to save the last frame in the movie as a still
image. You can even connect the E-P1 to an HDMI-equipped
TV set with the optional HDMI mini-cable and view your
HD movies and images with stereo audio.

The linear PCM system’s non-compressed digital recording
delivers superior audio quality. You can easily add audio
files to a still image after you shoot.

Turn your still images and movies into a slide show with
music or dub in voices. The E-P1 has five background-music
options as well as slide show control functions, fade-in/out
of still images, audio dubbing, background music and audio
volume adjustment.

To enable accurate manual focusing,
the E-P1 provides MF Assist and
Magnification Display. In S-AF + MF or
MF, the MF Assist enables you to zoom
into the central part of the image by up
to 5 times by turning the focus ring. The
Magnification Display lets you magnify
the image on the LCD up to 7 times at
the touch of a button. And if you use the control dial, you
can boost magnification up to 10 times for more precise
manual focusing.

at your fingertips, ensuring endless opportunities to capture
it all, exactly the way you envision it.
