No need lah.

One button brings up the camera settings, can change most of the settings from there.
 

Update:

The noise filter function can be turned off TOTALLY on the 410/510.

You will get monochromatic grains even at ISO 100.

The 410 comes with four noise filter settings: OFF, LOW, STANDARD and HIGH.

So I think:
OFF to replicate film
LOW is probably for ISO 100 - 200
STANDARD for 400 - 800
and HIGH for 1600

thats good to hear, I love this, olympus just gave the user the option on how the degree of noise filter is used.
 

Yup, the 410 ain't weatherproofed... ;)

How is the auto WB fares in the 410 compared to the E1?



TIA
cheers
 

How's the performance of the E-410's built-in flash?. Read from DpReview forum that it's quite disappointing.

I would be surprised any other current E DSLR can match E1 White balance...

How can u beat E1 that has a external WB sensor on this....

From earlier tests, it is quite decent and generally, it would have made it easily to the top 5 among all DSLRs' Auto WB test...

But to compare to the E-1... you must be kidding me... Currently nothing beats the E-1. Unless you use a Colour Meter and manually adjust the WB value. LOL.

I sometimes wonder what these people are thinking...

Don't know... I've never used the pop-up flash... don't even want to actually! ;p

It obviously cannot beat the E-1, but it beats the E-3XX and E-500 easy.

Nice to hear that, our E1 still :thumbsup:

Heng ar....wanted to sell the E1 for a D200. Had the shivers and decided to keep the precious instead. No regrets.

This product may not be available in your part of the world, but what I use (even if I did own the E-1) is a product called QPcard201 along with QPcolorsoft501...what you do is turn OFF the auto white balance (I set mine to the one-touch white balance) and switch to JPEG, take one picture with the card, and as long as the light doesn't change keep shooting (if the light does change you simply take another image of the card in the new light). Then when you get back to the computer run the QPcolorsoft501 program, load the image with the card, mark the card in the image, then save the colour profile for that shoot and batch process the rest of the images...the images are then saved in Adobe colour space, ready to print with the right colours; no more mucking about in RAW, or spending hours on each image trying to get the colour right.

You can find out more about this product at http://qpcard.com/ where you can download the FULL version of the software for FREE, along with sample images which you can try out the product before spending money on the cards. There's also a video tutorial there.

Welcome to the family of Four Thirds.

Here is a forum page where you can read up on user reviews on the ZD lenses. You should find a lot of information there. Some members went wild and really tested the weatherproofing to the extreme end... and were not disappointed.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the link. :)
 

I tested E410 at CP just now. the feel is ok, very light and compact.

I notice that there is a slight shutter lag after u trigger the shutter. I tested the various auto and manual with and without the flash, all have the lag. Is that really so?
 

Shutter lag?

It's more of a mirror flip, but all DSLRs have mirror flip delay.
