Seiko Epson today announced that its Ultimicron electronic viewfinder technology is equipped as standard in the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Micro Four Thirds camera that went on sale in October 2013. Measuring 0.48 inches diagonally, the Ultimicron offers XGA (1024 x RGB x 768), 2.36 million dot resolution. Using high transmission technology, Ultimicron ensures sufficient visibility in any environment, from the brightest sunlight to the evening darkness. In addition, the use of a color filter prevents the color break-up that can occur with other color systems when shooting fast-moving subjects and while panning.
The Olympus OM-D E-M1 is its new flagship camera. Its built-in electronic viewfinder is as large as a full-frame DSLR viewfinder and has advanced features. The Ultimicron series now have been selected by Olympus as standard in electronic viewfinder for the fourth time, after the VF-2, the VF-4 and the OM-D E-M5 Micro Four Thirds camera. Epson’s Ultimicron electronic viewfinders have the advantages of both high resolution and of being highly compact. This makes it easy for manufacturers to make the camera compact, and for users to focus the camera when taking pictures.
