Ming Thein - Premiere and review: The Olympus PEN F
The other thing is the whole JPEG-centricness of the camera – it is clearly targeted at the social media crowd, from the design to the huge number of in-camera processing options. I have no objection to that, but it does mean there’s a lot of buttons and dials that are either not customisable to other more useful photographic functions, or compromise ergonomics. The biggest problem here is that the camera’s LCD isn’t really adequate for assessing how the final result will appear on a proper wide-gamut monitor, limiting the usefulness of in-camera processing to serious photographers. I’m all for anything that reduces the amount of time I have to spend in front of a computer screen, but I still don’t think we’re there yet – perhaps if the display were of the same quality as one of the better smartphones, and pre-calibrated. That said, I suppose it doesn’t matter for the target audience anyway. I actually think a stripped down version of the PEN F without these ‘extras’ would be quite a compelling photographer’s tool – in many ways, possibly fulfilling the simpler ethos of the Leica Q, but with interchangeable lenses. In the meantime, we can always ignore those buttons, I suppose. MT
