Four months after announcing its release in the Asia-Pacific market, Olympus has confirmed its PEN E-PL10 Micro Four Thirds camera is heading to the United States.
As we covered in our initial coverage back in October 2019, the PEN E-PL10 is externally unchanged from its PEN E-PL9 predecessor and shares many of the same features, including the 1040k-dot touchscreen, although it does flip down instead of up, as was the case on the E-PL9.
The internals also remain largely unchanged from the E-PL9. It appears to use the same 16.1 Megapixel Live MOS sensor, as well as the same TruePic VIII image processor. Also included is 3-axis image stabilization and a contrast-detection autofocus system.
One of the few changes includes a new ‘Fine Tune’ option within the menu that can more precisely adjust how strong the included Art Filter effects are when they’re applied to images in-camera. Wireless connectivity includes built-in 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 for pairing with Olympus’ Image Share app.

The PEN E-PL10 is available starting today as a body-only unit for $600 and as a kit with the M.Zuiko Digital ED 14–42mm F3.5–5.6 EZ lens for $700. It's available in three colors with Japanese names: shiro (white), kuro (black) and mocha (brown).

Intuitive Guides with Simple Touchscreen
Never get frustrated with your camera again. The Olympus PEN E-PL10 removes the guesswork from your photography with four primary assist options on the mode dial that cater to users based on skill level: Auto, Scene (SCN), Advanced Photo (AP) and Art Filters (ART). For carefree photography, Auto Mode precisely detects the scene, lighting, subject and camera motion and automatically selects the optimal settings. Auto Mode ensures reduced blur for clear, sharp photos by detecting camera shake and moving subjects, then adjusting its settings accordingly. For additional control or hard to capture shots, Scene Modes allow the user to quickly customize the camera’s settings directly from the touch screen. Double-tap to choose from one of the following six categories: People, Motion, Indoors, Nightscapes, Scenery or Close-ups. Follow the on-screen prompts to capture challenging shots, like a candle-lit birthday cake or a running pet with a blurred motion background. The Shortcut button directly jumps to the primary settings in each photography mode. It provides an efficient navigation to the settings you need without having to fumble through cumbersome menus or instruction manuals.
180-Degree Flip Touchscreen with Automatic Selfie Mode
The PEN E-PL10’s unique flip touch screen makes photography and learning how to capture a great photo easier. Simply touch the subject shown on the LCD monitor to simultaneously focus and activate the shutter (Touch AF Shutter). When the monitor is flipped down, it automatically switches the camera to Selfie mode for easy and beautifully exposed selfies in all conditions, day or night. You can also select e-Portrait for brighter, smoother skin, or switch to movie recording with a simple touch operation. With Touch AF high-speed autofocus, the camera instantly focuses and captures with a simple touch of the screen.
Next Level Photography Features and Customizable Art Filters
The PEN E-PL10 uses a 16-Megapixel image sensor, paired with Olympus’ dual-core TruePic VIII Image Processor to deliver outstanding quality in every image. Advanced Photo (AP) mode provides functions that generally require advanced photography techniques, but is simple to operate. Anyone can capture a multi-exposure photo by simply overlapping two images in Multi Exposure, and capture light trails of stars or catch crisp trails of automobile headlights and taillights without the risk of overexposure, using Live Composite. Silent Mode, which mutes shutter and operation sounds, is now possible in P, A, S and M modes as well as AP mode. Art Filters make it easy to create distinctive photography in-camera, no post-editing required. With 16 unique Art Filter options, you can capture creative photos simply by scrolling and tapping on the screen. Use the new Fine Tune option to adjust the level of Art Filter effects while checking the results on the screen to create the photo exactly how you like. High Speed Sequential Shooting of up to 8.6 frames-per-second in Single AF Mode, or up to 4.8 frames-per-second in Continuous AF Mode, ensure that the shot is never missed.
Handheld Shake-Free Still and Smooth 4K Video
This model is equipped with 3-Axis in-body Image Stabilization, allowing the user to capture blur-free photos handheld without the need for a tripod, even in situations where camera shake can cause blur nighttime photography, dim indoor situations, while shooting video or when using a telephoto or macro lens).
