Even beginners will thus have their fun

According to my research system cameras apply with a price of up to 500 as entry-level models. Whether this realization I felt to be able to test the e-PL6 as beginners. My previous experience with photography I made only with fully automatic digital cameras, where you have to align the camera at the subject and press the shutter button. So I was very curious if I ever get along with the E-PL6 of Olympus.

My first impression was also that you get quite a lot for his money. The package includes:
- Camera
- Camera grip (must be bolted to the camera)
- Strap (affects quality and robust)
- Digital 14-42mm lens (1: 3.5 -5.6) (Lens mount: Micro Four Thirds)
- Lithium ion battery BLS-5
- Charger for the battery (battery can not be charged inside the camera) with power cord
- FL-LM1 with pocket
- USB cable CB-USB6 and AV cable (Monaural) CB-AVC3
- Basic operating instructions in several languages
- Computer software (Olympus Viewer 3 for Win and Mac, online registration, manual)
Not this is a memory card. Before you can start with the Fotgrafieren one must therefore an SD, SDHC, SDXC, Eye-Fi memory card or FlashAir set.

The camera and its accessories valuable aspect. The processing of all the individual parts is very good, I could not fault. Rubberized handles the camera is positioned so that you can hold the camera as a right-good and safe. The surface is easy anraut which not only ensures better grip, but also looks chic. The camera object is quite small and light. Connect the camera and the supplied lens weighing just under 450g.

The camera is operated via different buttons and a display with touchscreen. The buttons can be pressed easily and react immediately. The 3-inch display has a resolution of 460,000 pixels, even in low light conditions can still read ee. The display can be folded so that one even in unusual post ion for example when making a Selfis always has a look at the display. The touch screen responds quickly, precisely and reliably. All controls are easy to reach and without contortions and use.

The camera has 8 recording modes and a lot of options. Especially as a beginner, you will feel so at first overwhelmed. But Olympus has thought and a fully automatic mode in which the camera makes all the settings itself installed. Another mode is the effect filters. I must admit that I have kept this initial superfluous but I have learned to appreciate it, because you can create unusual images and thus a possibly post spared so. Many will be aware also of the mode Scene Modes, since one this applies to many fully automatic digital cameras. I would like to highlight in the scene modes the panoramic images. Here one can make up to 10 panoramic images, which can then be using the supplied software together to make one image. Next modes are the aperture priority mode, the shutter priority mode, program mode here aperture and shutter speed are automatically adjusted -, recording with the movie mode and the Manual mode here you have yourself set the aperture and shutter speed. To find or get to know the other setting I recommend the manual. This is understandable even for beginners, and thanks to the numerous images can understand everything well. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has failed detailed instructions in paper format enclosed. The instructions you have to so either print or read it on the computer.

The images that I have made with the camera are razor sharp. The E-PL6 is ready for any challenges and brings out the best from each image. On the supplied software, the images can view, edit and manage. The installation of the Olympus Viewer presents no difficulties. The program offers an intuitive operation. One can thus, for example, the images series that have been produced in scene mode Panorama were composed.

In the E-PL6 there is much to discover, test and adjust. Some can be operated, another one discovers only after you have taken a look at the manual is intuitive. I as a beginner felt a bit overwhelmed at the beginning but that has, thanks to the detailed user guide, help texts - down fast and the clear display - some of which the camera available. Motivated me that I was able to make sizable images in my first attempts. A big plus is that the camera is quite small and light and easy to carry as well - I lack only a geigende pocket but then there are plenty of choices. I can beginners who have always wanted to do something more than just to press the shutter button, set the e-PL6 as entry model only to the heart.
