Overview

The Olympus E-510 is a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera introduced in 2007, featuring a 10-megapixel Live MOS sensor with a Four Thirds System mount. It offers in-body Image Stabilization (IS), which compensates camera shake for sharper images across lenses. The E-510 supports ISO sensitivity up to 3200, providing versatility in different lighting conditions. It features a 2.5-inch LCD display with Live View, allowing for real-time preview on the screen. The camera uses CompactFlash cards for storage and supports various exposure modes and metering systems. Its compact magnesium alloy body makes it relatively lightweight and durable for its class.
