Olympus E-420 Digital SLR Camera + 14-42mm & 40-150mm Zuiko Lens   The extremely portable E-420 – perfect for everyone who wants to step up to the power and performance of a digital SLR (single lens reflex) yet enjoy the ease of use and ability to compose images on the LCD common to point-and-shoot cameras. Weighing a mere 380 grams (13.4 ounces), the E-420 is 20 to 40 percent lighter than competing DSLRs. This lightweight 10-megapixel DSLR offers heavyweight technologies, including a bigger, more viewable 2.7-inch LCD and consumer-friendly fast On-Screen Autofocus, Face Detection, Shadow Adjustment Technology and Perfect Shot Preview to get the most out of the Live View experience. This package comes with an Olympus E-420 +14-42mm and 40-150mm Zuiko Lenses.     What are the features and how will they benefit you? Live View – allows you to frame shots using the LCD screen rather than the viewfinder, similar to a compact digital camera. Very helpful for unusual shooting positions such as holding the camera overhead; also great for critical manual focusing when performing macro shots. Face Detection – adjusts for optimum exposure and focuses on faces (up to 8 in frame) rather than other picture elements that might be in the foreground or background. Shadow Adjust – automatically improves detail in shadowy areas of your image whilst retaining correct exposure of bright areas when confronted by high-contrast lighting situations such as bright sunshine with shadows. 18 “Scene Select” Picture Modes – for the D-SLR novice there are plenty of automatic scene modes to start out with. Perfect Shot Preview - white balance, exposure compensation and depth of field can be conveniently previewed in LiveView with four separate exposure 'difference' previews viewable at once on the screen to enable the user to conveniently select the best exposure option. Wireless Flash Capability - Utilising the same sophisticated wireless flash control system as the range-topping E-3 model, the affordable E-420 makes high-quality home portraits and macro photography easy and affordable, especially when combined with the FL-36R flash unit.   What's in the box?
