Olympus E-520/450/420 Users

For the first time Washington Photo Safari is offering a new safari for Olympus SLR users. The Olympus E-520 is a lightweight 10 Megapixel DSLR with built-in Image Stabilization and Live View facilities. and effective anti-dust features pioneered on earlier Olympus DSLRs and added built-in Image Stabilization which works with any lens you attach. to a 2.7in model with superior color and tonal reproduction, and the labeling changed from green to a blue color that’s more easily visible by those with color blindness.

The Olympus E-450 is an upgraded version of the E-420 compact DSLR. The new E-450 is essentially identical to the E-420 apart from the addition of 3 Art Filters, a new processor and an improved LCD display.

This Safari will help Olympus SLR users put their cameras through the paces of ISO settings, flash settings, variable white balance settings, file  compression, aperture and shutter priorities, focus settings, custom settings, menu navigation tricks, exposure tricks, use of the histogram etc. menu shortcuts inside and outside of the new National Museum of the American Indian. Special exhibits at the museum pose unique white balance challenges for the digital photographer, especially the mix of daylight and tungsten light. The eight-story high atrium is a great place to practice wide-angle photography, and the carvings and statues provide challenges for your telephoto lens. Digital camera specialist Melanie Otto provides hands-on training for these exciting pieces of equipment.
