Good newssss people!!!! Olympus Pen series is gonna take over the market with it's new product that'll make your life way way easier especially for the travel junkies!!!
Taadaahhhhh This is it! The latest Olympus Pen E-PL9 is officially launched today (7th February 2018)! As we know that the Oympus Pen series has always been the selfie-ready camera and now it has been taken to the new level that features 31 types of Art Effects and 4K video recording! What?!! Yesss you can Vlog with 4K quality now!
Why does it call selfie-ready camera? First it has pretty small and slim design plus the vintage look of it, it can be one of your accessories some times when you're taking your #OOTD.
Hehe these are the proves of how small the E-PL9 is, look at the comparison especially with my iPhone 6S! It also comes with 4 different colors such as Black, Brown, White and Navy Blue.
So let me go walk through some of the features that I like about this camera.
1. Selfies with Stunning Bokeh and e-Portrait
Above are 2 pictures of me taken in a similar angle. Both shows the stunning bokeh of the background that normally phone does give and this latest series comes with the e-Portrait mode which you can turn it on and it beautifies your skin immediately! Call me flawless now!! *flip-hair hahahaha
So here's how you're gonna turn on the e-Portrait mode. There's a human icon on the left of the screen, just tap on it and you can turn it 'on' and 'off', and YESS this camera is TOUCH SCREEN!
2. Perfect for your Vlog!
Yes with the feature of flipping the screen over, you can now do your recording at ease by just tapping on the screen to start and stop recording. Most importantly, it's 4k video!!!! Then, you can also play back your videos by touching the screen too.
3. Art Filter
This model will be the first ever selfie-ready camera that has this 'Instant Film' art filter that gives you a very retro feel in your photos as if they were taken with the vintage film camera.
4. Auto Mode
What is auto mode. Auto mode means it has over 120 focal points with built in bokeh that allows a sharper focus with depth in the background as compared to photos taken with phones.
Photos on the left were taken with E-PL9 and on the right were taken with iPhone 6s. As you can see, the images on the left are a lot sharper in clarity and with better bokeh effect.
5. Bluetooth Sharing
It's very common for a camera to have wifi feature that allows us to transfer our photos instantly to our phone but in order to do that, we'll have to disconnect our wifi and lose connection to the internet. Now this problem will be solved with the Bluetooth Sharing feature that allows us to transfer photos via Bluetooth without disconnecting our wifi.
I'm not able to show you the connection of bluetooth here yet as it will only be made available in the camera system on 7th February onward but basically how you do it, you'll have click on the Menu>Wifi & Bluetooth>Turn on the Availability>Pair with Phones and you're good to go!
6. TruePicVIII processor & 3-Axis Image Stabilisation
TruePic VIII processor delivers better image quality at higher ISO and prevent image blur especially at critical condition (low light). While the 3-Axis Image Stabilisation ensures sharp focus in low light condition with slower speeds.
The combination of these 2 features allow a lot sharper images to be taken easily.
7. AP Mode
AP modes allow us to capture different types of photos easily with it's auto-adjusted system.
Multiple Exposure is one of the AP modes that allows us to overlap different images in a single image without the hassle of going through editing in Photoshop.
Live Composite is another AP mode that I find the most amazing. Live composite means a long exposure image of moving object especially running car lights. With this feature, once you switch into this mode, this camera will automatically be adjusted into the composition that is needed for long exposure. Therefore, beginners like us can now capture long exposure images easily without going through the manual adjustment on the shutter, ISO and aperture! How amazing it is!!!
Overall, this is definitely one of the easiest camera to use and best to replace our phone in taking photos!! Make sure you look up into it today!
