In both still and movie modes - the E-PL2 image stabilization excels.

mechanical image stabilization automatically compensates for camera shake in low-light situations or when using a telephoto lens. 12.3-megapixel The E-PL2s powerful 12.3-megapixel live-MOS sensor packs a powerful high-quality imaging punch for such a compact camera, allowing you to capture more detail than ever before.

on the camera, the patented supersonic wave filter silently vibrates, flinging and collecting dust so that it cannot interfere with the picture imaging at any time.

Easy-to use-live guide control Seeing the results before you shoot can change the way you take a picture. Want more vivid or muted color in your shot? Want warmer or cooler hues?
