Live NDLive ND

Live ND

Who needs to carry ND filters when your camera has them built-in? The OM-1’s Live ND Mode covers up to ND64 giving you a wide range of effects. Preview slow shutter speed effects in the viewfinder before shooting.

Handheld High Res

Sometimes you just need more resolution than a 20MP image. Now you can capture a 50MP shot at the push of a button. Better still, you won’t need a tripod or other stabilizing equipment. Just hold your camera and shoot. The OM-1 automatically takes 12 shots** and instantly merges them into one high resolution photo with spectacular detail. **Reduced from 16 images vs E-M1 Mark III, E-M1X

Live CompLive Comp

Live Comp

Every photographer knows that capturing long exposures is challenging. But Live Composite Mode makes it easier with our in-body image stabilization system. Capturing dramatic shots of traffic tails, fireworks, or painted light can now be taken handheld. The camera takes a series of continuous photos with the same exposure time then combines them all into one shot.

Focus Stacking

Focus Stacking gives your images a whole new artistic dimension by adding a deep focus from the foreground to the background. It’s created when the OM-1 automatically takes a series of shots then stiches them together into one beautifully rendered composite image. Focus Stacking Mode is mostly used in macro photography to add depth and drama to images of insects, spider webs and flowers. You can also use it in landscape photography to convey a strong sense of place.

Capturing the galaxy has never been easier. Our Starry Sky AF Mode features two settings to take brilliant astro. Our Speed Priority setting works in tandem with the OM-1’s powerful built-in image stabilization system so you can shoot night skies and not worry about focus. Our Accuracy Priority setting lets you use a tripod and a telephoto lens to pinpoint specific stars with incredible precision. One mode. Two settings. And endless starry photos.

Blazing Performance

OM SYSTEM Ambassador Brooke Bartleson

Speed That Blows Away All Your Expectations.

There are fast cameras. Then there’s the OM-1. You’ll find it has all the speed you could want to easily capture the fastest moving subjects, and life itself.

Fast 120fps EVF

The high-speed Electronic Viewfinder operates at 120fps and helps you clearly see subjects, even in the dark.

1,053 Point All Cross Quad Pixel AF

With an astounding 1,053 all cross-type focus points, you’ll track, focus and capture the fastest, most challenging subjects with unparalleled precision.

120fps Burst Raw, 50fps AF/AE Tracking

Talk about blazing speed. Shoot a continuous 120fps of 20MP in RAW and ensure you’ll never miss a critical moment.

Fast 120fps EVFFast 120fps EVF

Fast 120fps EVF

See the world as it really is through our Electronic Viewfinder. It works with Live View so you can see images in real time and at 120fps gives you a clear view in low light or even in the dark. Nearly 6 million dots offer spectacular resolution while a display delay of a barely perceptible 0.005 seconds keeps pace with the fastest moving subjects.

1,053 Point All Cross Quad Pixel AF

The more autofocus tracking points, the better. That’s why the OM-1 has 1,053 point all Cross Quad Pixel AF for high-precision focusing. Every point is cross-type, enabling detection of vertical and horizontal lines for unmatched accuracy. It’s advanced autofocusing technology that ensures you’ll capture it all, anytime, anywhere.

120fps Burst Raw, 50fps AF/AE Tracking

When you’re in a shooting situation and need lots of speed to capture a quick moving subject or split-second action, count on the OM-1. Using the silent electronic shutter you’ll be able to take a burst of 120fps in RAW. In AF/AE Tracking, you can take a burst of 50fps without distracting blackouts or display lags. Always know exactly what you’re shooting.

Vastly Improved Face Detection

When you’re shooting portraits, faces are everything. Our newly revamped Advanced Face Detection AF offers greater precision, tracking and response to help you take portraits to a whole new level of beautiful.

Vastly Improved Face DetectionVastly Improved Face Detection
Revamped AI Detection AFRevamped AI Detection AF

Revamped AI Detection AF

Concentrate on framing your shot instead of focusing. The OM-1 is able to detect and lock on certain subjects all by itself. It’s called AI Detection AF. The camera identifies subjects like a car, plane, train, dog or a bird — you choose the mode — and it automatically pinpoints, then focuses. All you have to do is compose your shot and let the camera do the rest.

120fps Pro Capture

Capturing action that lasts a fraction of a second is nearly impossible. But not with our Pro Capture Mode. When you press the shutter button down halfway, it begins buffering a running series of photos at 120fps. When you see the moment you want, fully press the shutter and the camera saves that moment plus the buffered shots. Never miss a shot again because of a slow reaction.

When you’re busy composing, focusing, and shooting switching between manual and autofocus slows you down. That’s why we added a dedicated AF button. It’s right by the AEL button so you’ll always be able to find it quickly.

Our stacked 20MP BSI Live MOS Sensor is a leap forward for image quality. It uses a revolutionary new way of arranging imaging elements to let more light in while boosting low light performance.
