Photos of the Olympus E-620 and a discussion of its design and features.
Lori Grunin
I've been reviewing hardware and software, devising testing methodology and handed out buying advice for what seems like forever; I'm currently absorbed by computers and gaming hardware, but previously spent many years concentrating on cameras. I've also volunteered with a cat rescue for over 15 years doing adoptions, designing marketing materials, managing volunteers and, of course, photographing cats.
You can program the Fn button to pull up face detect mode, live preview, set manual white balance, return AF point to its default position, enable manual focus, raw+JPEG override and Olympus' MyMode custom settings. To program it, though, you have to enable it in the menus via the Menu Display option.
A drive mode button to the left of the viewfinder offers up single shot, high (4fps) and low (1-3fps) speed burst, 2 or 12 second self-timers and remote/delayed remote operation.
The mode dial sits to the left of the viewfinder, containing the usual array of modes: Program, aperture/shutter-priority, and manual (PASM); the most frequently used scene program modes; full auto; and Art/Scene, in which you can select from the handful of Olympus' Art Filters or an additional set of scene program modes.
