Every journey is a story waiting to be told; a thousand little moments hidden between a beginning and an end. This is for you and your thousand moments. Tell your story with the Olympus OM System OM-5 Camera with a 12-45mm Lens. Designed to stay with you but not get in the way of your experience. Chuck it in your favorite bag, or let it dangle unnoticeably on your shoulder until inspiration strikes. It will be ready for your story but won’t be a tiresome load. The OM-5 features class-leading IP53 dustproof, splashproof, and freezeproof design, so you can keep telling that story, like your favorite pair of boots that just keep on going.

Like Your Favorite Pair of Boots

The OM-5 is not here to be flashy, steal the show, be in the way of your experience or even try to be the sole reason for your adventure. It is rather like your favorite pair of boots that lead you onto trails unknown; that bag that always has what you need or that friend that helps you see the world in a beautifully different way. So compact you barely notice it. A streamlined classic design that disappears in your bag but feels just right to hold.

Durable

Noticeably tough. The OM-5 will tackle anything your adventure can throw at it. There’s no bad weather for storytelling.

Discover

See nature in a new way through computational photography—an ever-expanding photographic journey of discovery.

Stories

When even pictures cannot do a story justice, turn it into a spectacular movie worthy of the journey you made.

Less Heft Means More Fun

The OM-5 is designed to stay with you but not get in the way of your experience. It is so compact that you can chuck it in your favorite bag or let it dangle unnoticeably on your shoulder until inspiration strikes. It will be ready for your story but won’t be a tiresome load.

Embrace Surprises with Weather Sealing

The best stories happen through mishaps. It’s time to embrace those moments: the OM-5 features class-leading IP53 dustproof, splashproof, and freezeproof design so you can keep telling that story, like your favorite pair of boots that just keep on going.

Never Get Shaken Up Again with 5-Axis Stabilization

The OM-5 can stabilize the shakiest of situations with up to 6.5 steps of compensation (or 7.5 with compatible Sync-IS lenses). That makes longer handheld exposures and blur-free telephoto pictures a walk in the park.

Forget Filters- Get in the Creative Flow with LiveND

Make the most of moving subjects by changing how you see motion with LiveND. With up to four steps of effect (ND16), you can transform what seems like a seemingly mundane moment into a magical one - even with the widest of lenses.

Handheld Hi-Res

Some scenes have so much to say that to do a moment justice, you need to go big. With the OM-5, you can go big on pictures without having to go big on the size of your gear.

Get that Dust Off Your Sensor with Supersonic Wave Filter

Worry-free lens changes on your adventures. The OM-5 features a Supersonic Wave Filter (SSWF), which vibrates over 30,000 times per second to instantly remove dust from the surface of the image sensor.

Never Miss the Moment with 121-Point PDAF Focus

Focus on the moment, not the focus. The OM-5 features a 121-point All Cross-type On-chip Phase Detection AF sensor to enable dependable focusing in all situations and for all your scenes.

Improved Face and Eye AF

Taking pictures of the people you care about should be all smiles and no fuss. Improved face and eye autofocus make capturing both single and groups of people effortless.

Capture it with Starry Sky AF

No more guesswork or complicated manual focusing when capturing the night sky. Starry Sky AF makes astrophotography accessible through a dedicated night sky auto-focusing mode.
