Comprising a pair of essential accessories needed to begin photographing, the black Olympus E-PL5 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera with 14-42mm Lens Basic Kit from B&H includes a 16GB SDHC memory card and a camera pouch in addition to the versatile digital camera and zoom lens.
The E-PL5 features a 16.1MP Micro Four Thirds Live MOS sensor and TruePic VI image processor to enable high-resolution shooting up to 8 fps and full HD 1080i video recording with notable low-light sensitivity to ISO 25600. In-body image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to three stops with any mounted lens and the FAST AF system utilizes 35 focus points about the image frame to deliver quick and accurate focusing performance. For live view monitoring, image review, and menu navigation, a 3.0" 460k-dot touchscreen LCD is available and features a tilting design to better facilitate working from high and low angles.
The included M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II R lens provides a 28-84mm equivalent focal length range, making it a suitable choice for use in a wide variety of shooting situations. It features MSC (Movie/Still Compatible) technology to provide near-silent operation that is ideal when recording HD movies. The lens also incorporates three aspherical elements into its optical design to help minimize chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range and to produce sharp, clear imagery.
