Olympus EVOLT E-300 - Manual (Page 7)

What should your camera look like?
Better yet, what should it do?
We didn’t set out to build a compact camera. Our mission
was to include all the important features and conveniences
that would raise the bar for digital SLRs – in a size that was
easy to handle and operate.
The EVOLT E-300 is proof that intelligent functionality can
be contained in a radically-improved form.
Revolutionary proportions yield greater
functionality and portability.
While most digital SLR designs are based on traditional
35 mm lens camera models, we’ve eliminated the bulky
pentaprism that typically sits atop SLRs. To replace it, we
incorporated our exclusive new Olympus TTL Optical
Porro Finder – that together with an exclusive side-swing
mirror – create the camera’s new "flat-top" appearance.
We’ve also added a built-in flash mechanism that slides
forward at the same time it pops up – contributing to the
camera’s low height. And because the flash slides forward, it
offers broader, more even flash coverage without the shadow
vignette that’s often created by the lens in close-up shots.
As a result, the camera is not just easier to hold – but
reveals more, performs better and is sure to improve your
photographic experience.
