Compact attitude

Olympus designed the E-410 to be as compact as possible, and its slim profile leaves no room on the side for controls. Notice the almost complete lack of a traditional SLR grip. For most shooting, in which the camera rests in your left or both hands, the flat grip doesn't pose a problem. There are a few tasks for which it's very awkward however; try holding a white card in your left hand while trying to set the manual white balance and hold the camera in your right.
