Free Image Copyright Name Integration with Olympus E-5 :-)

Olympus not only design and built excellent cameras they are on many fronts also the "innovators" like Live View that was immediately copied by the likes of Canon and Nikon.

Again it seems as if a little but profoundly important innovation has passed most (ALL?) reviewers of the E-5.

This is the ability to at the time of taking a picture your copyright details may be immediately embedded in the EXIF data of a photo.

It is possible to embed the photographer`s name and a copyrighted name into the camera which will subsequently be embedded in all the photos taken with that body.  The really nice thing here is that one has 63 characters spaces available to do this making it very easy to not have to enter cryptic names that one cannot remember yourself.  In my case I can enter my full name and surname with spaces and still have 48 characters left (including spaces) for a copyright name or description.  This is accomplished with 2 fields dedicated to "Artist Name"  and "Copyright Name"

Upon editing the image the data is automatically transferred to the "new" image.  The only time that this does not happen is with "image overlay" and with the "playback + multiple" operation.

Very useful I`d say ;-)
