The LCD monitor uses a 2.7-inch HyperCrystal II LCD featuring a wide viewing angle of 176° in any of the four directions and high visibility even under sunlight. Dual-axis construction allows it to swivel in both the horizontal and vertical directions so you can shoot pictures at any angle from low to high.
The E-30 is equipped with an 11-point multi-area high-speed imager AF*1 for fast, accurate autofocusing, as well as the ability to detect and focus on the subject's face automatically. Together with AF Live View, which lets you focus and shoot while viewing the subject on the LCD, these features make the E-30 as easy to use as a compact camera.
* The white frame is displayed with AF Target is selected.
During Live View shooting, the camera detects up to 8 faces and focuses on them automatically. If the faces are silhouetted against back light, the gradation auto function is activated to capture both the faces and the background clearly. Face detection is also available in picture playback. The desired face can be selected and magnified instantly to allow easy review.
