Featherweight beauty.
Photography can be a beautiful and enjoyable adventure. The Olympus PEN E-P7’s small size and light weight are practically unnoticeable, but the E-P7 is a sight to behold. Drawn with lines taken from a true classic, the E-P7 is elegant and compact, making the crafting of your photos an exquisite experience. With two distinct colors to choose from, you decide the tone of your story.
See the world in a different color.
The E-P7 is a treasure trove for creative exploration. With a flick of the front color/monochrome profile switch, you can instantly enhance your creative expression. Dive deeper and you’ll find more tools for inspiration, including film presets, Art Filters, and other unique creative features. For every photographic passion, there’s a way to capture it with the E-P7.
Pretty and powerful.
At its core, the E-P7 is a combination of brilliant sensor technology, powerful image processing, and precision lenses. This makes for easy operation, fast focus speeds, and clever creative features – all enhancements from previous PEN cameras. With a vast choice of compatible lenses to suit your style of photography, there are no boundaries to your creative pursuits.
More than meets the eye.
Clever at heart
- 20MP Live MOS sensor
- TruePic VIII Image processor
Featuring technology previously not available in our PEN series of cameras, the E-P7 boasts innovation worthy of its legacy. Paired with legendary M.Zuiko lenses, the E-P7’s photographic pedigree stands apart from larger and costlier systems.
Steady as she goes
5-Axis Image Stabilization

USB Charging
With the E-P7’s easy USB charging, you can keep moving and creating all day with universal USB chargers and power banks.
Flip Screen with Touch operation
With the versatile flip screen, you can quickly frame and capture the perfect photo from any tricky angle, including selfies! Plus, the touchscreen interface makes taking images effortless.
Faster autofocus
The improved autofocus is combined with next-generation Face and Eye Detection AF, providing you with portrait-perfect photos every time.
Built-in flash
The E-P7’s built-in flash is perfect for low light shooting conditions. Flip the switch and the flash automatically pops up. The E-P7 is also compatible with all Olympus wireless radio wave flashes, allowing you to overcome all types of challenging light situations.
4K video
The E-P7 lets you capture memories and moments in high-resolution 4K. Combined with the E-P7’s in-camera 5-Axis Image Stabilization, your footage is tack-sharp and shake-free – even while filming in motion.
Art Filters
To express your creativity, turn the dial to ART mode and choose from 16 Art Filters. Get the exact look you are after by fine-tuning an Art Filter and previewing the shot on the camera’s touchscreen – before taking the image.
