A new Super-Sonic Wave Filter (SSWF) redesigned to fit in a smaller unit is installed in front of the image sensor, where it vibrates at an ultra-high speed of more than 30,000 times a second, blasting dust away from the sensor. The tremendous power of the supersonic waves can even remove dust that cannot be removed merely by shaking the image sensor or dust that is attached by intermolecular force and cannot be removed by discharging static electricity.

This mode divides the image area into an 18 x 18 grid, metering each of 324 separate areas obtain optimum exposure. In addition to 324-area ESP metering, centre-weighted metering and spot metering modes are also available.

The built-in dual axis sensor detects the levels in roll and pitch. The level gauge is indicated in the viewfinder, on the Control panel, Rear LCD monitor.

The E-P1 white model has been certified by the Colour Universal Design Organization (CUDO) as a colour universal design whose colours and patterns can be easily distinguished regardless of any differences in individual colour vision.

• * Color Universal Design Certification is a third party certification, provided by the Incorporated NPO Color Universal Design Institute (CUDO), which certifies that the Color Universal Design standards have been achieved.
