Sensor and Screen

The Olympus PEN-F camera features a 4/3 Live MOS Sensor that achieves similar levels of image quality as a CCD sensor, but with low energy consumption of a CMOS sensor. As a result of the low energy consumption, the camera offers a live preview function. The Live MOS chip also includes noise-reduction technology to offer excellent image quality even in low-light conditions. The camera is equipped with a 3-inch Vari-angle display. The screen is a 1037k-dot, electrostatic capacitance panel that provides touch controls and even includes tilting capabilities to make shooting at odd angles a breeze. The new PEN-F camera also includes an electronic viewfinder. The eye-level OLED viewfinder offers approximately 100% field of view. The viewfinder includes a display grid, a 2-axis level gauge, and adaptive brightness and color temperature control.
