Keep It Together With Cases, Bags, and Covers for the Olympus PEN
As you use the Olympus PEN digital camera to take stellar photos, you want to protect it and keep your essential accessories together while carrying your gear from spot to spot. You have many types of cases, bags, and covers made for the Olympus PEN to choose from. Now you can strap on your bag or don your leather jacket and continue to take photographs without worrying about finding additional lenses or spare memory cards.
What sizes are the Olympus PEN camera carrying cases?Camera cases that are manufactured specifically for the PEN model need to have an interior space big enough to hold it. For example, the PEN-F model measures 4.9 x 2.8 x 1.5 inches. Some of the Olympus camera cases, such as the leather-jacket varieties, fit tightly around the bottom half of the camera. As you choose a camera bag, keep in mind your storage needs for items such as memory cards and the power adapter to charge the battery. See the manufacturer site for details.
What material are Olympus camera cases made of?Hard plastic and leather-body jackets fit the Olympus PEN snugly. Classic padded camera bags have an adjustable shoulder strap and fabric exterior with many zippers and pockets for accessories. Canvas, leather, and synthetic fabrics like neoprene are some examples of materials used for the exterior of the bag. The tag sewn inside the bag lists the components used in manufacturing. There are also hard lens cases with straps available for when you want to install a better lens to improve picture quality while shooting.
What should you keep in mind when using PEN cases?To avoid accidentally damaging your Olympus PEN camera, keep these points in mind when using a camera bag or leather jacket:
- Always attend to your Olympus PEN camera and case to prevent loss. If you need to take off the shoulder strap, try not to leave the case off and out of your reach for a long time.
- Keep items like the camera, bag, lens, memory cards, and batteries away from moisture and extreme heat. Cases made of leather are also sensitive to these environmental factors.
- Ensure that the strap of the case is secure before wearing it to avoid accidentally dropping the camera, lens, and other valuable items.
- Use only the power charging cable and battery type recommended by Olympus for the PEN series.
- To prevent drops, avoid storing the carrying bag or hanging it from the strap at a great height.
