The Evolt E-410 is made of a solid black polycarbonate with rubber inserts on the front and back of the grip that impart it with a secure feel when handled. Still, the E-410 remains light and easy to carry, even with the kit lenses, and its finishing is excellent. It measures 5.1 inches (129.5mm) by 3.6 inches (91mm) and 2.1 inches (53mm) and weighs 13.2 ounces (380 grams) body only, making it light and compact enough to comfortably shoot with all day. The E-410 returns to the more "traditional look" of a digital SLR with its standard roof prism viewfinder design.
The all-metal lens mount for the Four Thirds System is twice the diagonal measurement of the imager. With this lens mount the body size, lens size and overall weight are reduced.
Digital Specific "Smart" LensesOlympus Zuiko Digital Lenses are designed so light strikes the camera's image sensor directly, ensuring rich, accurate colors, sharp contrasts and bright images even at the edges. Lenses that are smart, that talk with the camera about their specific optical designs and imaging information. Lenses, particularly zoom lenses have some distortion. This is true of all manufacturers. Zuiko Digital Lenses store data in the header portion of the digital file allowing for software-assisted correction of anomalies including pin cushion and barrel distortion. Shoot wide open or stopped all the way down and achieve superior results over 35mm film based lenses. Zuiko Digital Specific Lenses are about three times the resolution of ordinary film based lenses. Internet-Upgradeable FirmwareThe Smart Lens Design allows users to shoot with the most current firmware versions of each particular E SLR System component. Update the camera system using: - Internet-Enabled Computer
- Camera Connected via USB
- Olympus Software; one Button Update
The firmware information is collected for the lens, flash, and body and updated accordingly - no tricky file downloading or installation procedure necessary.
Zuiko Digital 14-42mm and 40-150mm
The Zuiko Digital 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 (equivalent to 28-90mm in 35mm photography) comes standard with the EVOLT E-410 and E-510and covers the zoom range most frequently used in everyday photography. This 3x standard zoom lens is the smallest and lightest in its class and features a closest focusing distance of only 25cm. The ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and two aspherical lens elements correct aberrations without increasing lens dimensions. The circular aperture diaphragm enables beautiful defocusing - one of the big advantages of this lens. 
The Zuiko Digital, 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 (300mm 35mm equivalent) lens has a short 7.2cm body with ED lens elements, ensuring both picture quality and portability. Boasting the smallest size and lightest weight in its class, this cost-efficient 3.8x telephoto lens uses an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens element for optimum correction of chromatic aberrations. Incorporating a circular aperture diaphragm for beautiful defocusing, this lens assures high picture quality throughout the zoom range, as well as providing an astonishingly short closest focusing distance of 90cm throughout the zoom range.
