The Camera for Everyone, Everywhere
Photo taken with Dramatic Tone Art Filter
The best-selling Olympus Pen film cameras were the choice of 17 million users worldwide and triggered the half-frame camera boom of the 1960s and 1970s. The same ingenuity was applied in the development of the Pen F half-frame single lens reflex system, and now, half a century later, its DNA lives on in the New Generation System Cameras, OLYMPUS PEN.
Olympus Pen F (1963)
OLYMPUS PEN E-PL2
* Half-frame camera: A camera that uses only half of the intended length of 35mm (135) film per photograph. Released at a time when film was expensive, these cameras expanded the opportunities for more people to take photographs.
The OLYMPUS PEN defies the conventional image of the heavy, bulky single lens reflex camera. The lenses as well as the body of the PEN are so lightweight and compact that even petite users won't feel any strain even if you carry the camera around your neck or on your shoulder all day. And because you can walk further with a PEN, you may even find things to photograph you've never seen before.

Olympus Art Filters, making your precious memories even more vivid.
The built-in OLYMPUS PEN Art Filters allow you to express yourself through the images you create, rather than simply taking a photo. By using these Art Filters, such as Dramatic Tone or Georama, and checking the effects on the camera's LCD monitor, anyone can enhance their photos and make them more creative, with no need for optical filters or complicated computer software. And Art Filters work with movie clips as well.
