Accurate Light Metering, With Three Systems to Choose From

When measuring available light, you can choose from:

• Olympus’s exclusive Digital ESP (Electro-Selective Pattern) light metering
• Centre weighted average light metering
• Spot light metering

 

Renowned for its accuracy even under difficult lighting conditions, Olympus ’s Digital ESP light metering system uses a unique calculation to set the appropriate exposure. The centre weighted average light metering system measures light mainly in the centre of the viewfinder, while the spot light metering system checks only the light in a very small area (approximately 2%).

Dual-Sensor White Balance For High Accuracy

By using both a CCD and a light source detection sensor, the E-1 is able to achieve extremely accurate white balance detection. Auto, Preset, and One-Touch white balance settings are available.

With Preset, you can choose from 12 different white balance settings with levels from 3000K to 7500K. With One-Touch , you can conveniently register up to four of the white balance values you use most frequently for instant, one-touch access. You can also make fine adjustments in 1-step increments (2 mired) within ±7 steps.
