Photographers can attach optional accessories like the SEMA-1 external microphone adapter, the VF-2 electronic viewfinder, or the newly introduced MAL-1 macro light. Thes...
the shooting experience didn't always live up to the high expectations that its classic looks might have engendered. TheE-P2was a slight reworking of the E-P1, doing little more than adding the ability to use the excellent VF-2 electronic viewfinder, and could still be a slightly slow and...
The E-PL2 includes a port (AP2) for new accessories including the MAL-1 accessory light, the Penpal Bluetooth accessory - which makes it easier than ever to share your images - as well as the VF-2 viewfinder, a detachable electronic viewfinder. The external accessory port also allows f...

Below the hot shoe is an accessory port identical to the one found on the Olympus E-P3 and E-PL2 models. This allows you to attach a number of optional accessories originally developed for these cameras, including the VF-2 electronic viewfinder, the SEMA-1 microphone adapter set and the ...
