OM System OM-1 Mirrorless Camera with M.Zuiko 12-40mm F2.8 Pro II Lens

The Olympus OM-1 with 12-40mm F2.8 Pro II Lens is the OM System flagship Mirrorless camera that features a compact & lightweight, weather sealed design for superior mobility along with high image quality and super-fast autofocus. The OM-1 includes a new 20MP Stacked BSI Live MOS sensor and the latest TruePic X image processor to give amazing image resolution, fast AF (up to 120fps when using Pro Capture), high ISO sensitivity and dynamic range. Also included is a high performance image stabilisation that delivers up to 8 steps of compensation with 5-axis sync IS. Creative video functions include 4K 60p for smooth, high-definition movies and high-speed video with Full HD at a maximum 240p.

High image quality in a compact body
The OM-1 features a high-end compact, lightweight body unique to OM SYSTEM, including the new 20 Megapixel Stacked BSI Live MOS sensor, and the latest TruePic X image processor, which is three times faster than previous models. The OM SYSTEM OM-1 delivers high image quality that goes beyond the expectations of the sensor size. Not only does it take full advantage of high-resolution M.Zuiko Digital lens performance, delivering high resolution, but new noise processing technology increases the maximum normal sensitivity to ISO 25600, and an expanded maximum sensitivity to ISO 102400. Furthermore, the dynamic range has been improved thanks to the latest image processing technology. These improvements deliver a richer range of tonal expressions than ever before, from shadows to highlights.

Image stabilisation
The OM SYSTEM advantage of high-performance image stabilisation delivers up to 8.0 steps of compensation with 5-axis sync IS, and up to 7 steps with the body alone. The new Handheld Assist feature makes it easy to capture slow shutter speed effects that previously required a tripod.

High-speed performance
A quad-division photo diode configuration allows for On-chip Phase Detection in both vertical and horizontal directions. 1,053-point, all cross-type, the world’s first Cross Quad Pixel AF is utilized to focus on various patterns of subjects across all pixels and the entire shooting range. The high-speed calculation capabilities of the new TruePic X processor and the new AF algorithm enable high-speed, high precision focusing on the subject no matter where it is in the frame. Furthermore, this model is equipped with AI Detection AF.
In addition to greater than ever high-speed, high-precision subject recognition and tracking, this model can recognize formula cars, motorcycles, airplanes, helicopters, trains, and birds, as well as animals (dogs and cats). In addition to C-AF, this functionality is also supported with S-AF for shooting a wider variety of scenes. The detection precision, tracking performance, and responsiveness of Face Priority/Eye Priority AF have been improved significantly. There have also been exponential improvements to sequential shooting performance, reaching up to 50 fps blackout free AF/AE tracking at approximately 20.37 Megapixel, and up to 120 fps AF/AE locked ultra-high-speed sequential shooting. When using Pro Capture, which is designed for capturing shots that are not possible during normal shooting, you can enjoy sequential shooting up to 50 fps (AF/AE tracking) and up to 120 fps (AF/AE locked).

Enhanced dustproof and splashproof design
The dustproof and splashproof performance is achieved by including sealing materials at the appropriate locations on the tough, lightweight magnesium alloy body, ensuring IP53 dustproof and splashproof protection class and freezeproof performance to -10°C.

High speed, high-resolution electronic viewfinder
The high-performance EVF is equipped with approximately 5.76 million dot resolution, a viewfinder magnification of up to 1.65x, a display delay of 0.005 seconds, and 120 fps high-speed display performance. Not only does it feature all the best facets of an optical viewfinder, but it also offers the advantages of a digital viewfinder, making it possible to view subjects and check exposure, even in dark locations. The menu screen configuration has been completely redesigned on the OM SYSTEM OM-1. Items have been split, merged, and reclassified, and descriptions have been simplified to make it easier to find the desired functions, and make changing settings easier for first-time users.

Enhanced video functions for creators
Stable handheld video recording is possible thanks to the compact, lightweight body and industry-leading image stabilization. Creative video functions include 4K 60p for smooth, high-definition videos, and high-speed movie with Full HD videos at a maximum 240p. The camera also supports H.264 (8bit), H.265 (10bit), and Multi Frame Rate for recording video clips over 30 minutes in length. In addition to RAW data output up to 12 bit 4:4:4 to external devices for advanced post-production tasks, the OM SYSTEM OM-1 supports OM-Log for a greater level of freedom over imaging expressions thanks to colour grading, which allows users to capture highlights and shadows without overexposing or underexposing shots. The new HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma)8 video picture mode has been added for easier HDR video recording.

Computational photography functions:

High Res Shot
The processing time has been significantly reduced (Handheld High-Res Shot: approx. 5 seconds to merge) for 50 MP Handheld High Res Shot, popular for landscape photos because of its ability to capture high-resolution approximately 50 Megapixel images by merging multiple images; and Tripod High Res Shot, which creates ultra-high-resolution approximately 80 Megapixel images. Composite processing technology reduces noise by approximately 2 steps for an amazingly high pixel count and low noise. A dedicated button is also included on the camera to quickly switch between normal shooting and Handheld High-Res Shot/Tripod High Res Shot for improved usability.

Live ND
Achieve slow shutter speed effects like those using ND filter up to ND64 (6 steps) (ND2 - ND64). When LV Simulation is activated, you can check the slow shutter speed effects in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor before shooting and achieve the same effects on ultra-wide-angle lenses that cannot accommodate an ND filter.

Live Composite
In this setting, Lighten Composite is used to add only the brighter sections to the composite image to prevent the common problem of images that are too bright overall when shooting long exposures, resulting in beautiful Lighten Composite photos with plenty of variation. This feature is now compatible with image stabilization and can be used during handheld shooting.

Focus Stacking
This feature alters the focus to capture and composite multiple shots for recording photos that are in focus from the foreground to background. The compositing time has been dramatically reduced for easier usage.

HDR Shooting
Multiple images at differing exposures are merged to create one shot with a wide dynamic range, including highlights and shadows.
