die für mich interessantesten spekulationen über hdr, liveview und "trine" in der e-3:
Q7: Built in HDR?
A: There is something similiar, but with a different name.
'something similar' could also be the Shadow Adjustment Technology (SAT), which is rather mundane, and appears to be useless if you shoot RAW.

could this be HDR
takes 3 frames in one instant
merges them together
results are wider DR than anything else available and
no apparent noise at high iso ......
It's an ACRONYM, such as Sigma's "TRUE" (Three-layer Responsive Ultimate Engine) in the DP1.
What is it an acronym for, that's the question. Now, knowing what we do about companies we can safety assume that the acronym does indeed imply *something* about the technology of the product.
In this case, "TRINE" - it can stand for just about anything. For example, "TRue Image Improved Nmos Engine", and the "TRINE" implication can mean maybe separate channel outputs / processing per color or possibly specific (unique) handling for three functions - exposure (normal), Live View and contrast detection focusing (during Live View, without slowing down Live View refresh rates).
3 CCD's in that small of a body simply does not compute - both space nor cost/market wise.
OR...Olympus is changing the angle of the Beyer sensor array (like Fuji)
Actually, maybe I understand it - maybe the OP has it correct. Looking at the Oly image enhanced it may be possible that they now have a Live View CCD *beside* the AF sensor, down at the bottom of the mirror chamber. That would give FULL TIME AF WITH LIVE VIEW and be a 3-sensor body system (main CCD, AF sensor, Live View sensor) like the E-330 but much better performance and no impact on the viewfinder brightness (the AF sensor shares the light, not the viewfinder system).
One can (rarely) find "trine" as a reference to using three lines (or frames) in video, such as in multiplexing.
If indeed Olympus did go with an FFT CCD, those are not normally used for video (i.e., "live view")... the traditional video CCD uses interlaced frames.
To use the FFT CCD, for live view, perhaps Olympus is mixing two lines from one frame with one line from the next... to get the resultant output on the LCD to look smooth. The LCD being (probably) 320x240 (perhaps it is more but for the sake of example...), and a 10MP 4x3 sensor having around 2700 possible lines one doesn't need nearly the whole frame... so to get the video rate to be smooth you don't read the whole sensor but say read 1/6 of the lines of it at 15HZ, then to get to 30Hz display on the LCD you create the other 15 frames (in your 1 sec time) by doing 2+1 (thus the "trine") from two existing (acutaly read from the sensor) frames.
Just a thought...

Ist jedenfalls eine interessante rätsel-vorstellung des neuen modells..
