Olympus OM-5 Mirrorless Camera | Black

The OM-5 Mirrorless Camera from OM SYSTEM is engineered to accompany you on your journeys without hindrance. This compact and robust Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera is adept at fulfilling a wide range of still and video requirements. It boasts a 20.4MP Live MOS sensor paired with an advanced TruePic IX image processor, enabling rapid continuous shooting at speeds of up to 30 frames per second, along with the capability to record DCI and UHD 4K video. The sensor and processor work together to provide a sensitivity range reaching ISO 25600, while a sophisticated 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization system effectively mitigates camera shake by up to 6.5 stops, ensuring sharper images during handheld shooting. In addition to its imaging capabilities, the sensor features 121 phase-detection points, all of which are cross-type, complemented by 121 contrast-detection areas, facilitating swift and accurate focusing and subject tracking. Designed for your photographic adventures, this powerful and versatile camera can easily be stowed in your bag or slung over your shoulder, ready for when inspiration strikes.

20.4MP Live MOS Sensor and TruePic IX Image Processor

The combination of a high-resolution 20.4MP Live MOS sensor and the advanced TruePic IX image processor delivers rapid shooting capabilities, a sensitivity range extending to ISO 25600, and adaptable 4K video recording features. Furthermore, this sensor and processor facilitate an exceptional continuous shooting speed of up to 30 frames per second in the camera’s innovative Pro Capture mode, allowing for the effective capture of fast-moving subjects when every moment counts.

121-Point All Cross-Type Phase-Detection AF

An advanced autofocus system integrates 121 phase-detection AF points alongside 121 contrast-detection AF points, resulting in a focusing performance that is both rapid and precise. All 121 phase-detection points are cross-type, which enhances accuracy in mixed lighting environments and improves subject tracking capabilities. Various focusing modes are available to accommodate different shooting conditions, including a Group Target 25-point mode specifically designed for moving subjects such as birds and wildlife. Additionally, Face Detection and Eye Detection AF have been enhanced, and the camera now includes a newly developed Starry Sky AF mode, along with distinct AF area settings for both vertical and horizontal orientations.

5-Axis Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization

The in-body, sensor-shift image stabilization technology significantly reduces the effects of camera shake by as much as 6.5 stops, regardless of the lens being utilized. This system is particularly effective in counteracting camera movements that are more pronounced during telephoto photography, macro shots, and long exposure techniques. Moreover, this advanced stabilization mechanism operates across five axes, addressing vertical and horizontal angle rotations, horizontal and vertical shifts, as well as rolling shake. Such a comprehensive range of motion detection enhances the quality of both still photography and video recording, especially when capturing dynamic subjects. Furthermore, when used in conjunction with certain lenses that incorporate optical image stabilization, the shake compensation can be extended to an impressive 7.5 stops.

DCI and UHD 4K Video Recording and OM-Log400

The sensor and processor are capable of capturing both DCI (4096 x 2160) and UHD (3840 x 2160) 4K films. In DCI mode, a genuine 24p frame rate is utilized, whereas UHD 4K supports frame rates of up to 30p. Audio can be recorded through the integrated stereo microphone, and there is an external microphone jack for enhanced audio quality. Furthermore, a Time-lapse Movie mode is offered, allowing for recordings at resolutions up to 4K UHD.

Creative Shooting Modes

• Simulating the effects of a neutral density filter, Live ND 16 mode results in blurred subject movement by combining exposures into a single image to replicate a photo taken at slower shutter speeds. This is particularly suitable for photographing moving water and clouds.
• Focus stacking mode records multiple sequential frames then composites the exposures into a single image that exhibits an extended depth of field.
• High-Res Shot mode offers the equivalent output of a 50MP image.
• Live Composite mode gradually builds up an exposure over time without overexposing key elements within the frame and is ideal for long exposures, nighttime shooting, and light painting applications.
• New Vertical Video mode provides a 9:16 aspect ratio for easily integrating videos on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and other similar platforms.
