This means that handheld shooting with image stabilization is available not only when using Micro Four Thirds lenses but also Four Thirds lenses. I've spent a lot of time with this lens—it's been the standard kit zoom for Olympus cameras for some time.

For the creative types, there are 12 in-camera filter options to choose from, including Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pale and Light Color, Light Tone, Grainy Film, Pin Hole, Diorama, Gentle Sepia, Cross Process, Key Line, Dramatic Tone, and Watercolor. If you're interested in this camera, you'll want to read our in-depth Olympus E-PL5 review for a lot more info on both cameras, since they're near-identical. Originally released in other markets in mid-2013, the E-PL6 is an incremental update, and lacks some of the features—notably in-camera Wi-Fi—introduced in the 2014 model, the E-PL7 . Interval shooting for stills stitches together stop-motion videos while Small AF Target Mode makes it easy to focus on tiny parts of the subject, then magnify these for more precise focusing.You can now shoot with an interval timer function which will capture up to 99 frames with an interval anywhere between one second and 24 hours. Also, the camera doesn't support high-quality 24MB/s video recording on SD cards higher than class 4, so I either have to live with a 4MB/s transfer rate or the 10MB/s transfer rate of the built-in memory.

megapixel Live MOS Sensor and TruePic VI image processing engine used in the OLYMPUS OM-D E-M5, users can enjoy the highest image quality offered by Olympus. Making full use of this advantage, the E-PL6 uses a 3D tracking AF with a movement prediction function that can track depth-direction movement, as well as a traditional tracking AF to track objects moving in the up, down, left and right direction, to improve the accuracy of AF on moving objects. If desired, you can reduce these sounds by shooting with [AF Mode] set to [S-AF], or by limiting the amount of times you press the buttons.The E-PL6 has a raft of PEN features to help you quickly adjust settings, frame your shot, and capture a remarkable image. Superb image quality continued from the flagship of the Olympus mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera, the OLYMPUS OM-D E-M5.
