Olympus d500l manual

Getting popularity on its high technology branding, Olympus digital cameras are exceptionally providing high resolution images. It can be seen on the addition of 1 megapixels CCD sensor as the heart of camera. On the focus and optic sectors, Olympus DL manual states that the camera employs mm focal length lens with f2. Featuring 3x optical zoom, smart autofocus modes and 30cm of macro focus range, this is the lens you will fall in love with.

Viewing and framing the images are now more fun via 1. Read the specification of this camera predecessor, Olympus D Manual , in this page. The pop-up flash works very well by having 3. For data saving, the manufacturer puts their trust on 2MB SmartMedia included and able to be upgraded depends on your needs. Looking at this review, I believe that Olympus DL could continue the success of its previous products.

It is even better in several aspects such as more practical body, bigger LCD screen, longer flash range, and more precise lens. If you are looking for a complete-packaging compact camera with SLR view, make sure to pin the DL on your wish list. This is the most efficient import method, and the one used for all the test images appearing elsewhere on this site.

Unfortunately, most desktop computers don't have PC card slots, making that solution unavailable for many users. For these users, Olympus offers the "FlashPath" floppy-disk adapter. That's right: A floppy-disk adapter. As far as the computer is concerned, you've just inserted a floppy disk having a capacity determined by the size of the SSFDC card involved 2, 4, or 8 MB! Direct Printing A unique feature of the Olympus digital camera line is their ability to attach directly to the Olympus P photo printer.

This printer outputs continuous-tone images on glossy photo paper, providing a convincing simulation of a "real" photograph. Operation is straightforward, with the printer plugging into the camera's serial port connection. Once connected, the printer is controlled from the camera, and you can select one or multiple images for output.

Prints from the P are on standard 4x6 inch stock, although the actual image area is only 3. We found the direct printer connection a very appealing feature, especially for events involving kids: There's nothing like seeing the picture moments after you took it! The ease-of-use also beats fiddling around for minutes to hours on your PC just to get a set of snapshots output. There's been some debate in the industry lately as to whether digital cameras should be full-function units with their own "smarts" on board, or rely on the host computer for all their intelligence.

A DL or DL coupled to the P printer makes a convincing argument in favor of "smart" cameras. In our testing, we found that the large CCD sensor, LCD panel, zoom lens, and powerful flash of both models combine to make the cameras real battery-eaters!

There really is no free lunch. Using the DL as an example, we found that a set of standard alkaline AA cells only lasted for a dozen shots or so, including normal zoom use, flash exposure on about half of them, and uploading the resulting images via the serial port.

The Energizer bunny's ears droop in shame This is by no means a point against the camera though: You just need to choose power sources appropriate to the camera's needs.

In this case, "appropriate to the camera's needs" means NiMH rechargeable batteries, and an AC adapter for use when you're uploading images via the serial port.

Once exotic, NiMH AA batteries are now becoming common, with units available on the open market from Sanyo and Radio Shack, among others, although those from Olympus have a higher capacity than usual, rated at maH. Although more expensive than some of the third-party batteries, they have a power capacity of maH, as compared to the maH of most others on the market. See our separate discussion on batteries for more information on the various types available.

Also and probably more importantly , the Olympus charger is "smart," in that it can properly handle batteries with a range of charge levels, charging them only until they reach full charge: Some inexpensive charger simply charge the batteries for a fixed length of time, regardless of how much charging they actually need. This can damage batteries, or reduce their lifetime considerably.

They are not rated for use in either camera, and can seriously overheat, damaging the camera. Direct camera control and image downloading are provided by Olympus' own Camedia software package. As mentioned earlier, the Camedia program is designed to support all cameras in the Olympus digital lineup, so not all features will be available with all cameras. The panorama function of the DL and DL is also not supported on the higher-end devices.

Since we discussed many of the functions of the Camedia package earlier, we won't go into additional detail here.

In addition to the Camedia package, acquire plug-ins are provided for both Mac and Windows platforms. As described above, the Mac acquire module is a Photoshop plugin, supported by many Mac image-editing applications. Besides the acquisition software, two commercial imaging packages are included: Adobe's PhotoDeluxe, for image editing, and InMedia's excellent Slides and Sound, for assembling your own multimedia slide shows.

Test Results As with all Imaging Resource camera tests, we encourage you to let your own eyes be the judge of how well the devices performed: Explore the links at the bottom of this page, to see how well the DL and DL performed, and how their images compare to other cameras you may be considering buying.

Compared to virtually all other digital point and shoot cameras, the through-the-lens viewfinder provides excellent accuracy at all focal lengths, as well as when using the "macro" focusing capability. We estimate the amount of cropping on the LCD panel as being roughly equal to that seen through the optical viewfinder.

See the separate discussion on image resolution for an explanation of this new international standard for resolution measurement. In actual shooting conditions, both cameras performed very well.

Both take sharp pictures, although as you would expect, those from the DL are noticeably sharper, thanks to its significantly larger CCD array. Both cameras have an excellent dynamic range, although the ' shows a little more contrast than does the ', and so is more likely to lose both highlight and shadow detail sooner. This is pretty subtle though: Unless you're staring at identical shots taken with both cameras, you'd be hard pressed to notice a difference in tonal range.

Both cameras have a color balance very slightly on the cool side of neutral, and both show excellent color fidelity, with good saturation in strong primary colors, yet delicate handling of pastels. In the incandescent-lit indoor shot, we found the white balance of the ' a bit more effective than that of the ', producing a more neutral tone in the background.

Both cameras performed well in the flash portrait test also, providing good fill illumination, without totally washing out the ambient lighting. The built-in macro function on both cameras is quite good, with the ' having a slight edge, due to its longer effective focal length.

At closest approach, the ' in macro mode captures an area of 3. Please use the form below to report the error. Erroneous field. Tweets by dpreview. Leica M Nikon Nikkor Z mm F2.
