Wider range of compositions now possible with Live View via easy-to-see LCD monitor.

Auto Focus Live View with Face Detection*1

With the E-520's Live View, you can shoot your subject while viewing it on the LCD monitor, so it's just like shooting with a compact camera. In addition to phase-difference detection AF, the E-520 incorporates a high speed Imager AF *2 that offers easy 11-point multi-area autofocusing with Live View simply by half-pressing the shutter button. Face Detection AF automatically detects up to 8 faces at a time and adjusts focus appropriately. Accurate composition is assured by the monitor's 100% field of view.

HyperCrystal II LCD Monitor

The E-520 is equipped with a 2.7-inch HyperCrystal II LCD monitor with high-definition 230,000-dot (approx.) resolution, improved contrast ratio, and enhanced colour reproduction capability.
Best of all, thanks to wide viewing angles of 176 degrees, you'll have the freedom to shoot from a wide range of angles to create unique compositions.

Image Magnification Capable

You can magnify the displayed image up to 10 times on the LCD monitor, facilitating precise focusing even with macro shooting.
Autofocusing after magnifying the image is also possible.

Perfect Shot Preview

The newly added Perfect Shot Preview function allows simultaneous visual comparison of the effects of up to 4 different exposure or white balance setting. You can set the adjustments simply by selecting one of the images on the monitor.

Grid Line & Histogram Display

While shooting with Live View, framing-assist patterns or a histogram can be displayed on the LCD monitor to improve your picture composition and check exposure condition.

  • *1 Faces may not be detected correctly in some cases.
  • *2 When a lens other than the ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-42mm f3.5-5.6, ED 40-150mm f4.0-5.6 or 25mm f2.8 is used, the number of AF focusing points changes to 3 and AF is executed again when the shutter button is pressed all the way. With the ED 14-42 f3.5-5.6 or ED 40-150mm f4.0-5.6 lens, the firmware needs to be updated to Ver.1.1 or later.
