Olympus PEN-F Body Silver

 

The beautifully-crafted PEN-F is ideal for street shooters, as a second camera for studio pros, and for anyone who loves vintage design and photography. It features sleek lines, precision controls, and the ability to capture amazing street shots. Advanced sensor technology combined with in-body image stabilization ensures superior resolution and razor-sharp images, even while you or your camera is moving. And fully customizable in-camera color control shoots photos with old school film quality right before your eyes.

 

It’s stunning. PEN-F features all-metal construction with luxurious metal and leather-grained accents. The magnesium top cover has no visible screws, while the back of the articulating monitor is finished with a premium textured grain. Finely-crafted controls are positioned at your fingertips: an exposure compensation dial on top and two customizable dials to assign aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance. They’re all operable with without taking your eye from the bright OLED viewfinder. The 3.0” monitor doubles as an AF Targeting Pad - touch it with your thumb to set focus points while composing your shot. Add unique accessories like genuine leather straps, a body jacket or the customized metal grip to compliment your shooting and personal style.

 

You love photography that’s distinctive and film-like. PEN-F’s Creative Dial creates the rich textures of film without all the post work. Just set, compose and shoot. Spin the front-mounted dial to easily switch between four main functions: Monochrome Profile Control, Color Profile Control, Art Filters, and Color Creator. Use the Profile Control options to precisely set the saturation of twelve individual colors, curves, shading, and monochrome film grain effect. Create and save your own profiles. Or select one of the PEN-F’s presets, including Chrome Film Rich Color, Chrome Film Vivid Saturation, Classic Film Monochrome, and Classic Film Infrared.

 

PEN-F’s 20 MP Live MOS Image Sensor and TruePic™ VII Image Processor work together to deliver the superior resolution professional street photographers demand. If you’re shooting landscapes or architecture, the 50 MP High Res Shot Mode combines eight images in one second to create a single super-high resolution shot. PEN-F boasts a 1/8000 mechanical shutter with the shortest release time of any compact system camera*, giving you blazing 10 fps sequential shooting to capture the spontaneity of the street.

 

Street photography usually means that you or your camera is moving. That’s not a good thing if you want super sharp images. Olympus’ world-class in-body 5-Axis Image Stabilization System compensates for any type of camera movement so you can capture crisp, clear shots, even when light is scarce, or when the camera is susceptible to shake during telephoto shooting. PEN-F’s sophisticated image stabilization even works with older lenses that don’t have electrical contacts. Register up to ten profiles of non-data transmitting lenses in the camera for Exif inclusion. Build the system that’s right for you.

 

PEN-F conquers all types of challenging shooting situations. Nighttime Live Composite Mode makes capturing dramatic images of brightly-lit city streets and star trails easy. You can even watch the composited images being assembled in Live View. Silent Mode quiets all camera noises - an ideal feature when you need to be discrete. Control the camera remotely from a smart device using PEN-F’s built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. And when you capture the perfect shot, the Olympus Image Share app lets you instantly upload images and video to share with friends and followers.
