Olympus EVOLT E-330
Previous: Page 3
Design / LayoutNext: Page 5
Control OptionsAuto Mode
The EVOLT E-330 offers a Program mode with shift for full exposure, auto ISO and auto white balance. The camera also offers a range of scene modes for casual users.
Movie Mode
The EVOLT E-330 does not offer a movie mode, though with a live preview, it seems to have most of the necessary technology. Our interview with Olympus technical staff indicates that subsequent DSLRs from Olympus could offer it, for another $50 or $100.
Drive / Burst Mode
The EVOLT E-330 is rated to shoot at 3 frames per second for at least 15 frames in JPEG mode. The E-330 shoots RAW and TIFF files, which tend to be enormous, and manages 4 of those at a burst. Apparently, the live view system has an impact on burst speed, which we'll test in our full review.
Playback Mode
The EVOLT E-330 enlarges images up to 14x and shows up to 25 thumbnail images at a time. Users can also bring up a calendar view to search for images, or view images in a slide show. In single image mode, playback can display exposure and shooting data, including focus area. The E-330 also displays histograms for luminance as well as red, green and blue channels.
Custom Image Presets
The EVOLT E-330 image presets include: Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports, Underwater Macro, Underwater Wide, Landscape with Portrait, Night Scene, Night Scene with Portrait, Children, High-Key, Low-Key, Reducing Blur, Macro, Nature Macro, Candle, Sunset, Fireworks, Documents, Beach & Snow and Panorama. The modes generally adjust exposure, ISO and white balance the way an experienced photographer might in specific situations. In our full review, look for more specifics about how these presets perform.
