The LCD monitor uses a 2.7-inch HyperCrystal III 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-620 is equipped with the widely acclaimed AF Live View system featured on the Olympus E-520 and E-420, which enables autofocusing without having to retract the camera's main mirror. When the shutter button is half-pressed during Live View shooting, the 11 areas High-Speed Imager AF adjusts focusing by driving the lens to detect contrast at the image sensor and placing the lens at the peak contrast position. As a result, Live View shooting is as easy and carefree as it is with a compact digital camera.
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.
