Product Features in Detail
Simple, Refined Design
The PEN E-PL8 has a refined design. This camera is almost like an accessory on its own. Its simple, sophisticated design is something you will never grow out of.
Genuine leather accessories for each body colour
The separately available genuine leather body jacket, genuine leather lens jacket, and genuine leather strap not only protect the camera but add to your fashion ensemble. The body jacket can be left on even when shooting selfies.
Touch Selfie
If you want to take better selfies, the E-PL8 is for you. Simply flip down the monitor to easily capture next-level selfies that cannot be taken with a smartphone. Also, with selfie movies you can communicate a richer message.
Beautiful selfies even at night
With the E-PL8 you never have to worry about selfies turning out poorly even in backlit or night scenes. The camera automatically detects the scene for shooting, so each and every shot results in a beautiful selfie.
Selfie movies let you capture yourself speaking and moving
With selfie movies, you can capture yourself speaking and moving. The new selfie mode for movies makes it easy to capture everything from your travels to everyday life.
Flip-down touchscreen
Since the E-PL8's touchscreen flips down rather than up, touch control is made much easier and the flash (when attached) does not obstruct your view of the screen. And the camera's powerful image stabilisation helps minimise any blurring caused by single-handed shooting.
Smartphone Linkage
Since the E-PL8 has built-in Wi-Fi, recorded photos and movies can easily be imported to a smartphone and shared anytime, anywhere.
Also, you can use your smartphone to remotely control the camera, allowing you to shoot full body selfies.
Easily import to a smartphone for sharing
Built-in Wi-Fi and the Olympus Image Share smartphone app can be used to easily import photos and movies from the camera to a smartphone. With this feature you can easily share DSLR quality photos with friends and family.
Easy connection to your smartphone via QR code
Initial connection between the camera and smartphone requires just a simple scan of the QR displayed on the camera screen. Settings can be completed in just a few steps. Once a camera and smartphone have been paired, the connection will be automatic the second time onward.
Remote Selfie
The remote shooting function can be used to capture selfies even when away from the camera. Use your smartphone as a remote control to capture selfies and selfie movie in exactly the way you want.
Shooting Movies
Not only is the E-PL8 packed with great features for photos, but it also is equipped with many features for shooting fantastic movies. Using just the camera, easily record and edit movies that will entertain viewers.
DSLR Image Quality
Smartphones are casual and convenient, but lacking in image quality. The E-PL8, however, packs high-spec performance into a compact body. The large sensor and interchangeable lens puts amazing image quality in the palm of your hand.
Interchangeable lenses that provide beautiful bokeh
Simply change the lens to one of the below to achieve even more beautiful DSLR-quality bokeh.
Art Filter
This popular feature provides you with an array of visual effect options to make your photos special. You can see the effects on the monitor before you release the shutter so you know exactly how your photo will turn out.
iAUTO
Simply press the shutter button and iAUTO automatically selects the optimal Scene Mode setting for the scene you are shooting and releases the shutter. With iAuto, anyone can take beautiful photos.
Live Composite
Live Composite lets you capture impressive trails of light. Multiple shots are taken with only the parts of the image which change in brightness being composited, resulting in a beautiful photo where the dark areas remain dark and the bright areas do not get blown out. You can confirm the progress of your shot on the monitor as you are recording.
FAST AF and high-speed sequential shooting
FAST AF provides high-speed auto-focusing on your subject simply by touching the monitor in the area you want to focus on. And maximum 8.5 fps[*] high-speed sequential shooting lets you shoot consecutive shots of a subject in motion.
