Olympus E-PL6 14-42mm EZ Lens, 16mp, Selfie 170?? Touch LCD 3.0", Free Case & 8GB Flash Air Card (Black)

While maintaining the lightweight ease of the PEN Lite, an abundant use of metal parts gives this model a more classy and well-mannered design. While sticking to a design that is pleasantly textured and easy to hold, we never lost sight of its functional beauty as a compact, lightweight interchangeable lens system camera.

  Built-in Image Stabilization applicable to any lens

  The E-PL6 is equipped with a built-in image stabilization mechanism that enables it to adjust the image sensor instantaneously and accurately to compensate for camera movement. The image stabilization is effective with any type of lens, including old lenses and thin pancake-type lenses that are usually unable to incorporate an image stabilization mechanism.

   

  Lens IS priority for Micro Four Thirds lenses with built-in image stabilization

  Even if you use an O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) lens with no IS on/off switch, you can still set the camera to prioritize the lens's built-in image stabilization.

  *When a lens with IS on/off switch is used, the lens's IS switch setting is given priority regardless of the setting of the lens IS priority in the camera.

   

  Short Release Time Lag Mode that makes quick responses possible

  The OLYMPUS PEN Lite E-PL6 also comes with a new Short Release Time Lag Mode which reduces release time lag. In combination with the FAST AF, this mode is great for capturing subjects moving at high speeds.

  Full HD Movie

  Incorporates full HD movie shooting. The E-PL6 uses Full HD MOV and Motion JPG movie recording formats for easy editing using a computer. The AF point can be controlled when shooting using the touch panel for easy, SLR-quality movies. Art Filters are also available, for movies with artistic expressions.
  

  • * The bundled software OLYMPUS Viewer 3 is recommended for playback of movies shot with the E-PL6.

  The Digital Teleconverter function lets you zoom in up to 2x on the center of an image, easily producing a teleconverter effect. By assigning this function to the Fn button, you can easily use it with a single push of a button.
