OM 1 Mark II + 8-25mm

Features of the OM-1 Mark II

The first flagship to bear the OM SYSTEM name, the OM-1 Mark II, is a revamped second version of the proven Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera. Its stacked 20MP BSI Live MOS sensor and TruePic X processor deliver high-quality captures, fast autofocus, and excellent low-light performance with a native ISO range of 200 to 102,400. Primed to give you a closer look at your subject thanks to the Micro Four Thirds system's crop factor, the OM-1 Mark II excels in wildlife and nature photography. When you're shooting handheld, the sharpness of your images is greatly improved thanks to the built-in 5-axis image stabilization. Together, the OM-1 Mark II provides users with mobility, precision, and a reliable camera for capturing images and videos.

Among the notable improvements of the OM-1 Mark II are human-enhanced AI subject detection, live graduated ND filters, updated menu settings, 14-bit raw output, and rubber dials.

Four-pixel crossover AF
The OM-1 Mark II's comprehensive Cross Quad Pixel autofocus system provides 1053 individual focus points, allowing the camera to capture focus almost anywhere on the sensor. With this design, the camera automatically detects subjects such as birds, humans, animals, cars, planes, and trains to keep them in focus and track their movements. This Cross Quad Pixel AF algorithm combined with the TruePic X processor promises reliable, high-speed focusing performance.

Notable Mark II Updates

• 20% increase in image stabilization and 8.5 EV stops compensation
• Rubber spheres for a more tactile feel
• The menu button can be programmed to remove, so you don't have to remove your left hand from the lens.
• Triple the number of tones in your images with 14-bit raw output
• Improved sequential shooting with no blackouts
• Vertical Video Support
• GND8 and ND128 Live Filtering
• Enhanced Human AI Subject Detection AF

Designed for the elements
IP53 rated, the OM-1 Mark II offers superior weather protection and withstands some of the harshest conditions in the field. Its rugged construction makes the camera cold, dustproof, and splash resistant, and can operate in temperatures as low as 14°F.

Video Capabilities
DCI and UHD 4K video recording supports up to 60p and 4:2:0 10-bit sampling. Full HD recording is possible at high-speed speeds of up to 240fps for slow-motion playback.

Vertical video is now available, which opens up more compositing options when shooting and saves you time in post-production.

ND Live
This feature, which supports up to ND128, digitally simulates the effects of a neutral density optical filter so you can create slow shutter speed effects in your images. With Live ND, you can see the effects through the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor.

Useful Features

• 5.76m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder for crisp eye-level shooting
• 3.0" rotating 1.62m dot LCD touchscreen to enable an incredible array of viewing capabilities during capture
• Dual UHS-II SD card slots for extended shooting situations
• Cumulative focus up to 15 shots
• Focus bracketing up to 999 shots

Features OLYMPUS 8-25mm f4 Pro lens

A dynamic wide-angle zoom, the OLYMPUS M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm f/4 PRO is an ultra-wide-angle Micro Four Thirds zoom lens with the equivalent full-frame format zoom range of 16-50mm. Its sophisticated optical design, including a variety of aspherical, low-dispersion, high-refractive index elements, reduces chromatic and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range for remarkable clarity, sharpness, and color accuracy. A ZERO lens coating has also been applied to improve contrast when working in bright lighting conditions. Beyond the advanced lens design, this zoom also features a constant maximum aperture of f/4, as well as its durable, weather-sealed construction for working in a variety of conditions. In addition, an autofocus system compatible with movies and still images achieves fast, smooth, and quiet focusing performance, and a manual focus clutch allows for instant switching between focusing methods.

• The ultra-wide-angle to portrait length zoom lens designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras provides an equivalent focal length range of 8-25mm.
• The constant maximum aperture of f/4 allows for consistent low-light performance and selective focus control throughout the zoom range.
• The lens construction integrates a DSA (Dual Super Aspherical) element, an ED (Extra Low Dispersion) element, two aspherical ED elements, a Super ED element, an HR (High Refractive Index) element, a Super HR element, and an HD element elements into its design to minimize aberrations, distortion, and color fringing throughout the zoom range, while also contributing to the sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy of the overall image.
• A ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize lens flare and ghosting to improve contrast and color fidelity when working in bright lighting conditions.
• The Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system benefits both photo and video applications due to its smooth, quiet, and fast performance.
• The manual focus clutch allows the focus ring to quickly snap into place for direct and intuitive focus control.
• Programmable L-Fn button (lens function) for easy-to-access setting adjustment.
• The dust-proof, freeze-proof, and drip-proof design ensures the performance of the lens in harsh and harsh conditions.
• The front optics feature a protective fluorine coating.
• The rounded, seven-blade diaphragm produces smooth bokeh quality.
