Premium Redesign
The camera body’s aesthetic design has been refined and streamlined for an improved look and feel over previous models. The front, top and grip have been redesigned for better handling, and a premium makeover makes the E-PL8 a camera with highly desirable looks to match its brilliant features.
Incredible Autofocus
The E-PL8 uses 81 focus points to quickly and accurately help you focus on the subject of your photo. That means you can get the snap you want much quicker, making it easier to capture fleeting moments or give you more time to concentrate on your framing. It also features continuous video focus, so you can keep on filming without having to manually adjust every time your subject moves.
Versatile Zoom Lens
Olympus’ M.Zuiko 14-42mm II R Lens is ultra-compact and quiet, with rapid autofocus. Equipped with MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) technology, it takes crisp stills at high speed, with near silent AF. With 3x mechanical zoom, it’s a versatile all-rounder, delivering edge-to-edge sharpness. Its premium construction features a durable metal lens mount, and a compact size for easy transport.
Tiltable Screen
The 3-inch LCD touch screen on the E-PL8 has a tilt mechanism that rotates 170 degrees, letting you take extra-high and extra-low photos with ease. And it’s perfect for selfies because you have a full preview to frame the shot. An updated configuration also makes it easier to select functions and settings, as well as choosing the subject you want to focus on in your shot.

Steady Shooting

Lenses & Cases
One of the biggest advantages of this camera is the sheer shooting flexibility on offer. You can use additional lenses to take wide-angle, telephoto, or close-up shots to suit just about any situation. The shorter the focal length (measured in mm), the wider the view will be – the longer the focal length, the more telescopic the picture. With a selection of interchangeable lenses at your disposal, the creative possibilities are endless. Click here to browse our selection.
