When you press the shutter the mirror flips up, the shutter opens and the As the name suggests, mirrorless has no mirror. Olympus then introduced the first live view DSLR camera, which incorporated both traditional DSLR phase focus and also optional contrast detection focus. The size of the sensor is significantly smaller than for most DSLRs.
A variety of companies manufacture adapters to use lenses from nearly any legacy lens mountOn Jan 9, 2012 Sigma announced its first two lenses for Micro Four Thirds, the "30mm This list does not include fisheye and macro lenses (see below). Of particular interest in illustrating this fact are the Panasonic 7–14 mm ultra-wide angle (equivalent to 14–28 mm in the 35 mm film format) and the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 9–18 mm ultra wide-angle lens (equivalent to an 18–36 mm zoom lens in the 35 mm film format).

This feature also permitted the lens designers to develop the world's fastest fisheye lens with autofocus, the On the telephoto end, the Panasonic 100–300 mm or the When compared to a full frame camera lens providing a similar angle of view, rather than weighing a few kilograms (several pounds) and generally having a length of over 60 cm (2 ft) end to end, the optically stabilized Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100–300 mm lens weighs just 520 grams (18.3 oz), is only 126 mm (5.0 in) long, and uses a relatively petite 67 mm filter size.Olympus and Panasonic have both produced cameras with sensor-based stabilization, and lenses with stabilization.
Olympus and Leica/Panasonic have made dedicated Four Thirds lenses, and Sigma makes adapted versions of their "DC" lenses for APS-C format DSLRs. Some MFT cameras, such as the OM-D E-M1 series and E-M5 Mark III incorporate phase-detection hardware on the sensor to support legacy lenses. The ratio of the image size, combined with the smaller sensor means that Four-Thirds based It is important to note that neither the light gathering ability of the lens, nor any of its traits are actually affected: a 50mm f2 lens on a 4/3rds body has the same f-stop as a 50mm lens on a 35mm camera. Olympus claims full The shallow but wide MFT lens mount also allows the use of existing lenses including While lens manufacturers seldom publish lens mount specifications, the MFT mount has been reverse-engineered by enthusiasts, with CAD files available.The (non-Micro) Four Thirds system design standard specifies a 40 mm flange focal length distance, which allowed for using a single lens reflex design, with mirror box and pentaprism. The popularity of the model means that Sony technology is getting a big influx of money, money which can then be put towards innovations to woo additional customers over. There’s no clap noise to scare a bug or skittish animal away and your baby subject won’t hear a thing.These are the “new thing” which means two things – first you’re getting cutting edge technology so that you can even watch your photo expose and stop when you think you’ve got it right like on the Olympus OMD; second it’s going to cost you. This means that not only are you able to carry less but you’re carrying smaller and lighter lenses.Here’s the thing, a micro is technically a mirrorless. Also the relative diameters of the The following table exemplarily shows a few identical image parameters for some popular image sensor classes compared to Micro Four Thirds:Micro Four Thirds has several advantages over larger format cameras and lenses: The E-500 was the smallest and lightest DSLR at the time of its release; an accolade it recently lost to another Olympus camera range: the new Olympus E-400 series. New means expensive and these haven’t yet settled on a price because the market is still being determined so you may pay as much as a DSLR or a bit less.These are much more portable than your typical DSLR and it’s not just because of the body.

Ultieme OM-D-camera's die voldoen aan de hoogste eisen op het gebied van fotografie. If you’ve worked with a DSLR all day then it feels like you’re holding a brick by the end of it, making the mirrorless design a welcome respite.To continue with the small theme, the lenses are also lighter because they don’t have to be able to produce quite such a large image as that of a DSLR sensor (remember these are not meant for pros but are easily enough for the average momtographer capturing little Johnny’s soccer match).The lack of a mirror inside means the camera makes significantly less noise, something that baby photographers and wildlife photographers will be especially interested in. Micro Four Thirds interchangeable lens system camera with a new Live Guide interface New Live Guide user interface for easy, intuitive adjustment of brightness, hue, background defocusing, and other image parameters.New dedicated Movie mode button for seamless access to movie shooting at any time.

Many believe that the smaller sensor has been superseded by APS-C … The latest EVFs are amazing quality, and some people love them.

Before 2013, Olympus and Panasonic approached In 2013, Panasonic began including sensor-based stabilization in its cameras, beginning with the Lumix DMC-GX7.
