Hamburg, 27 July 2011 – Olympus has launched a new high-resolution electronic viewfinder to boost the imaging power of its sleek PEN Micro Four Thirds cameras – the new PEN (E-P3), PEN Lite (E-PL3) and PEN mini (E-PM1). The VF-3 offers a 100% field of view and more than four times the resolution of rival electronic viewfinders for comparable cameras, so it’s ideal for capturing high-zoom close-ups in excellent picture quality. Compact, lightweight and just as sleek as the PEN Lite and mini, the VF-3 tilts up to 90° making it easy to shoot movies and stills from tricky angles, even in difficult light. It’s available from mid-August 2011 for €199.
VGA quality locked in
With a resolution of 922,000 dots, approximately 1x magnification and a 17.4mm eye point, the VF-3 delivers superb performance and excellent value-for-money. The bright, high-res display makes it easy to zoom in and capture sharp stills and High Definition movies, especially with a telephoto lens. Another bonus is the reliable lock mechanism that keeps the viewfinder firmly attached to the camera, no matter what. Designed specifically to work seamlessly with the Accessory Port on next-generation PEN cameras*, the VF-3 is a smart accessory for ambitious and casual photographers alike.
The Olympus VF-3 is available in silver from mid-August 2011 for €199.
* The VF-3 is compatible with the XZ-1 compact and all PEN cameras except the E-P1.
