OLYMPUS E-3 LENS/HAND-HELD
SHUTTER SPEEDS GUIDE
Due to the compact size of the Zuiko Digital standard lenses, you
can hold the camera steady at slightly slower speeds than normal
for the equivalent focal length. However, generally speaking, the
faster your shutter speed, the sharper will be your shot.
These are the absolute minimum speeds suggested for use with
these lenses. Your results may vary but use of the IS system will
greatly add to the sharpness of results when using these
suggested speeds:
ZD (Zuiko Digital lenses for Four Thirds mount)
All lenses below 14mm marked on the lens 1/15 sec
Lenses from 14mm to 25mm 1/30 sec
Lenses between 25 – 42mm 1/60 sec
Lenses 45 - 50mm 1/80 sec
Lenses 50 – 100mm 1/180 sec
Lens of 150mm 1/300 sec
Lens of 200mm 1/400 sec
Lens of 300mm 1/500 sec
OM SERIES LENSES
Any lens up to 50mm 1/100 sec
85mm 1/200 sec
100mm 1/200 sec
135mm 1/300 sec
200mm 1/400 sec
300mm 1/750 sec
If you add the Zuiko 1.4 or 2x converters to the lenses, multiply
the minimum suggested speeds by the multiplication factor of the
converter i.e. the ZD200mm shutter speed with a 1.4x converter
