In case I wasn't clear earlier in this review, the f2. You can run out of light pretty fast when you go underwater, so having the large maximum aperture can make a difference. There's more to the lens than just the big aperture, though.
Around the 4x mm zoom lens, Olympus built in a removable surround that allows you to attach an adapter for converter lenses. A fish-eye lens for dramatic wide-angle shots as well as a telephoto converter lens are available to extend the optical zoom from 4x to 6.
Both lenses can be used down to 40 feet. What I also like is that the lens is centered on the camera. With only a couple of exceptions, the internal zoom lenses on rugged cameras put the lens in the top left corner right, if you're facing the camera of the body, making it all too easy to end up with fingers in your shots.
Its larger size makes it easy to grip and shoot, even when your hands are wet or cold. Olympus kind of jams all the controls together, though; the only stuff that's on top is the shutter release and power button.
Mostly it's just a bit difficult to press the top directional on the control pad, so it's not the end of the world. There are a couple other minor annoyances like that, though, which combined might be enough to put you off buying it. The stereo mic, while good, is all the way on the left side of the body on top, making it easily covered with a finger when holding the camera. There's room behind it, and a rubber grip for your thumb down the left side of the sharp and bright 3-inch OLED display, so there are ways around it.
The camera's battery charges in camera via USB, but while most manufacturers have switched to Micro-USB, Olympus still uses a proprietary multi-input jack requiring a special cable. Lastly, while the interface is fine and most important settings can be changed quickly, Olympus buried the power for the GPS deep in menu system, which wouldn't be so bad if it didn't continue to track your movement when you turn the camera off.
Olympus used a new lithium ion battery that's supposed to handle running the GPS better, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to easily turn it off. Reading mode: Light Dark. Login Register.

Already have a stash of favorite lens filters? The converter adapter can accommodate any I am a true believer, not only do I need a camera small, tough and shoots a great picture, I need it dust resistant, water resistant, and when you download the shots, it is as though your looking at what you took the picture of Love Love Love the different features.
I also bought the fish eye lense, seems to be a big seller, sold out all over, it works well but one thing, if you shoot on one direction, the lense blocks the flash and it messes with the picture.. So becareful of this feature, I cannot recall which direction, sorry, What i have faith in is how much abuse it takes.
