Live View and the Olympus Flagship
From Masaaki Komiya, Olympus Group Leader in R&D...
"If it's called 'Live View,' then it should be live - that is, the image should always be there for the photographer to see.
Unfortunately, having an image displayed on the LCD at all times would generate heat and could generate noise in the captured images.
To deal with this, we developed a new 10-megapixel image sensor that inherits the technology originally developed for the 7.5-megapixel Live MOS image sensor incorporated in the E-330.
At the same time, we boosted processing speed and reduced power consumption, while maintaining a wide dynamic range equivalent to or better than full-frame transfer CCDs.
We also succeeded in reducing the noise caused by heat generation. The end result was a full-time Live View function - something previously impossible with CCDs."
