Overview
Olympus Pen - The New Smart | E-PL7
It Only Looks Vintage
The latest model in Olympuss legendary PEN series wraps powerful photographic performance in an elegant skin. Leather and brushed metal accents draw inspiration from timeless Olympus designs, but features like ergonomic controls and a clever downward-opening monitor for the best selfies ever address the needs of thoroughly modern photographers.
CONNECT THE SHOTS
The E-PL7 is a compact, interchangeable lens camera with a modern twist. Built-in Wi-Fi and the upgraded OI.Share app let you control the camera remotely and post images instantly, while spectacular image quality, a selfie-centric touch screen interface and numerous creative tools make this the perfect choice for aspiring photographers.
So Many Lenses. So Little Time.
Can such a small camera handle 15 different lenses? It can when its the E-PL7. Build your system from an impressive assortment of M.Zuiko Micro Four Thirds fast primes, wide-angle and telephoto zooms, and macros, all with the unmatched digital-specific optics and premium build quality that set Olympus glass apart.
Pen Style
Genuine leather body jackets and lens covers. An add-on electronic viewfinder. A variety of external flashes (most with wireless remote control). A compact underwater housing compatible with five M.Zuiko wide-angle and macro lenses. Add style and functionality to your E-PL7 with a wide array of premium accessories.
Connect. Capture. Create.
Sharp Images Ahead
The same advanced core image processing technology – 16MP Live MOS CMOS sensor, TruePic VII™ image processor and in-body three-axis image stabilization – found in Olympus’ critically acclaimed OM-D E-M10 lives inside the E-PL7. Every nuance of your subjects will be captured at a level of detail that will astound you.
Autofocus That's Fast And Flexible
Life moves fast – but the E-PL7 is faster. Its lightning-quick autofocus system facilitates high-speed sequential shooting – up to 8 frames per second. The 81-point AF grid covers the entire frame so you can zero in on any area. Improved AF tracking makes panning on a moving subject easier than ever, and Focus Peaking improves your accuracy in manual focus mode.
A Smarter Connection
Turn your smartphone into a photographic accessory with the E-PL7. Its built-in WiFi allows you to control the camera remotely, which is great for selfies, tripod shooting and – new to the E-PL7 – video recording. The camera’s unique QR code lets you instantly connect your smart device and camera using the newly improved OI.Share app.
License To Create
The E-PL7’s array of fun and inventive in-camera creative tools includes 14 Art Filters (new: Vintage and Partial Color options), 7 Art Effects (new: Shade Effect), 5 Photo Story layouts and built-in HDR. Photo & Movie Capture lets you shoot full-res stills and HD video simultaneously, while the new Old Film Effect adds scratches and dust marks to give your videos a vintage look.
