(FT 4) olympus m4/3 with improved liveview and no swivel LCD
Received an email today from someone who confirms that there is no EVF, just an LCD screen without swivel option.
He told me he has been impressed by the improved liveview. We asked him for more infos over the liveview but he gave no more informations.
I really do not know what he means when he says “improved liveview” 
How do you imagine an improved liveview???

May 25, 2009 |I suppose Live view should by automatically be “improved” if you compare it with any of Olympus DSLR cameras. But the question is if it’s improved in comparison with the Panasonic G1.
What I would like is a dedicated button on the back of the camera that activates focus magnification and the IS at the same time. This should be a momentary-on button, i.e. one that deactivates when you release it.

That would be nice already. Mind if I ask for the moon too? Touchscreen AF! I want that button to focus/enlarge THIS very spot on the screen that I’m touching! While you are at it, keep it inside a smaller window in the screen so I can still see the whole picture to recompose.
Thanks! I’ll take two!

This is brilliant. I’ve been thinking of exactly this feature too. It would make the focus enlargement feature much more practical and useful. And it would not require any additional hardware, thus cheap to implement.

May 26, 2009 |I’ve seen the MF aid implemented in that way on a few digicams (sans the touch part). From limited use it did seem a bit more practical than zooming the whole screen. Hopefully there aren’t any patent issues.
