OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark II with 12-40mm f/2.8 Lens

Nature is full of wonders waiting to be revealed. Those breathtaking scenes under unpredictable weather and fast-paced moments when encountering wildlife bring their own challenges, but they also offer the possibility to see and show them to the ones venturing further.  Included with the OM-1 Mark II is a 12-40mm f/2.8 Lens.

The OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark II is a statement of blazing fast speeds, unparalleled computational capabilities, and tactile usability, with refinements throughout the camera. What the OM-1 Mark II presents is a true wonder of outdoor

High-quality images thanks to a stacked BSI Live MOS sensor and TruePic X image processor

The OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark II integrates a cutting-edge 20 Megapixel Stacked BSI Live MOS sensor alongside the advanced TruePic X image processor. This dynamic duo, coupled with renowned high-resolution M.ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses, deliver the highest quality images ever produced by an OM SYSTEM camera. An enhanced AWB algorithm delivers vivid color reproduction, even in challenging lighting conditions like mixed lighting, ensuring precise color tones across a variety of light sources for stunning photographs.

Additionally, the OM-1 Mark II features powerful 5-axis in-body image stabilization, improving compensation up to 8.5 steps with the body alone, as well as 5-axis sync IS, further broadening opportunities for hand-held shooting by allowing the user to capture steady shots while maintaining agility and mobility.

The first in the world to enable users to control half ND filter effects while simultaneously reviewing GND steps and respective types

Introducing the world’s first Live GND (Graduated ND) shooting function, a groundbreaking technology that utilizes computational photography to replicate the effects of using a half ND, accurately controlling brightness and darkness within the image to create stunning output. Through Live GND shooting, users can seamlessly adjust filter steps (GND2, GND4, or GND8) and types (Soft, Medium, or Hard) in real-time through the EVF or rear LCD. This innovative approach allows for precise customization of the effect’s position and angle, empowering photographers to craft their envisioned images effortlessly. Without the need for physical filters attached to the lens, this feature enables photographers to leverage half ND effects, even with lenses lacking filter threads, significantly expanding creative expression in genres such as landscape photography. Elevating capabilities further, the OM-1 Mark II enhances the upper limit for step numbers in the popular Live ND shooting to ND128, allowing the camera to handle scenarios requiring larger step numbers.

The OM-1 Mark II introduces powerful imaging capabilities with functions like the approximately 50M Handheld High Res Shot and approximately 80M Tripod High Res Shot. These functions generate high-resolution images that surpass sensor limitations by merging multiple images and reducing noise by nearly two ISO sensitivity steps. They enable RAW recording at 14 bits for exquisite high-resolution shots. 

Advanced AI Detection AF now includes human recognition

Developed using deep learning technologies, the AI Detection AF has been enhanced to recognize an extensive array of subjects, including humans, formula racing cars, motorcycles, airplanes, helicopters, trains, birds, and common animals such as dogs and cats. This integration seamlessly enhances the well-established Face Priority / Eye Priority AF, significantly refining autofocus capabilities.
