The lens ring can now also be used for zooming and focusing, the screening

Focus assist (zoom function) with the now also available to the top. Bottom tiltable monitor
also still has a higher resolution than its predecessor, especially in macro photography very helpful.
For this is a touch screen and it makes sense in some situations
here to put on and a lot of fun at your fingertips the focal point and trigger.
That it is not an OLED display as in 1 is the only way to remember
the now previewing on the display corresponds to the contrast of the final image!
Also you have the little (she has gained some weight and size) the enormous

and two individually programmable function keys (FN) donated.
The expanded on PEN -level menu, the camera is now in terms of recording
Settings and functions as well as in every respect to personal ideas
become configurable.
These comprehensive settings can be divided into the two user agents C 1+ C2
save for direct access via the command dial.
A nice gimmick, I find the attitude: warm colors get on / off
Where this adjustment impact on the presentation of artificial light sources
is taken.
Thus, the warm atmosphere in incandescent light or candlelight can get one hand

Mixed light and artificial lighting from warmer.
The CCD. was more of a back-illuminated C-MOS sensor with now
12 MP. Replaces resolution which has exceptionally not negatively affect here on the image quality
but on the contrary the BQ. has over the XZ-1 even improved a lot.
So for XZ-1, the dynamic range, resolution, and noise performance has improved.
(Noise reduction adjustable in 3 steps and also switch off!)
What is probably partly to the new known from the OM-D TruePic VI processor,
the now tinkers in the XZ-2.
The differences are noticeable, even in video mode.
I can my EVF 2 (elektron.Sucher) and Olympus dedicated flash, thanks to the Olympus own
Accessory socket and hot shoe more easily use the XZ-2
even the flash (or more) can remotely control.
The VF-2 viewfinder I need only rarely, thanks to the folding monitor.
Even the adapter tube the XZ 1 fits like a glove so that I filter, close-up lenses,
Converter can continue to use and so on.
And the thinner the XZ-1 Battery (Li 50B) fits mechanically and electrically in the
new camera and you can use it very well as a spare battery.
The XZ-1 for external charger purchased from vhbw
Amazon: AET charge plate-Car Charger-OLYMPUS / dp / B0054K1YJ2 / ref = UTF8 & qid sr_1_26 ie = = 1354540807 & sr = 8-26?
works fine with the battery of XZ-2 (Li 90B).
To indemnify or to long exposure times can allow in a bright environment

Thanks to the well-known of the XZ-1 very strong light-Zuiko lens
(F 1.8 at wide angle and quite unrivaled F 2.5 in the telephoto range at 112mm)
you need to set high ISO sensitivities rarely!
The lens is fully compatible and full aperture forms to the brim sharply.
The XZ-2 can do even better deal with it, it shows on the focusing speed
and the utilization of the optical resolution abilities of the lens.
I moved there are other cameras to consider for purchase, but the
Overall package of XZ 2 was my favorite.
When the competition was lacking at times hotshoe then again at the
required light intensity at the telephoto end or the monitor was not to move or
It lacked a viewfinder or the possibility an EVF. to infect.
All together, the XZ-2 for me a great compact with
But system camera features without providing interchangeable optics.
Since I wrote the above text already a few days ago as here no
You can find more assessment was still a small addition in relation to the
previous review of A. Hohnwald.
Additional: I have no blown-out lights far off when shooting in dark
and I've noticed since about 4 weeks quite a few photos in the dark
added.
It may well be due to the settings for example. Vivid increases the contrast
and the sharpness enormously so I usually dark in a modified Normal
use ev. even turn on Gradition car because of the contrasts and very
get good results.
