Expanded OM SYSTEM OM-1 Digital Camera Bundle Key Features:

Next-Generation Micro Four Thirds Camera

Whilst the OM SYSTEM OM-1 Digital Camera benefits from an advanced 20 Megapixel Stacked BSI Live MOS Sensor and a 3x faster TruePic X image processor, the scope of this Micro Four Thirds camera extends beyond the size of the sensor.

To deliver their highest ever resolution, the OM SYSTEM OM-1 Digital Camera takes advantage of high-resolution M.Zuiko Digital lens performance. Combined with new noise processing technology that offers an expanded maximum sensitivity of ISO 102400 and an improved dynamic range, these improvements deliver a far richer range of tonal expressions.

The OM SYSTEM OM-1 also offers high-performance image stabilisation with up to 8.0 steps of compensation using 5-axis sync IS, and up to 7 steps with the body alone. With the Handheld Assist feature, users can easily capture slow shutter speed effects that were previously achieved using tripods.

Expand The Realms of Expression

Thanks to advances in computational photography, the OM SYSTEM OM-1 incorporates shooting features for photographic expressions that have traditionally required specialist equipment. These shooting modes include, but are not limited to, High-Res Shots, Live ND, Live Composite, Focus Stacking and HDR shooting.

Popular for landscape photos, the High-Res Shot mode has benefitted from a significantly reduced processing time (50MP Handheld High-Res Shot: approx. 5 seconds to merge). The Composite processing technology reduces noise by approximately 2 steps for an impressively high pixel count. You can easily switch between normal shooting and High-Res Shooting with the dedicated button included for improved usability.

Cross Quad Pixel AutoFocus and Tracking

The OM SYSTEM OM-1 includes a quad-division photodiode configuration that provides on-chip Phase Detection in both vertical and horizontal directions. This 1053 point Cross Quad Pixel AutoFocus allows users to focus on various patterns of subjects across all pixels in the entire shooting range. Using the high-speed calculation capabilities of the TruePic X processor and this new AutoFocus algorithm, the OM SYSTEM OM-1 provides high speed, high precision focusing on your subject no matter where it is in the frame.

Adding to the OM SYSTEM OM-1’s high speed, high precision AutoFocus is the AI Detection AF developed using deep learning technology. This model has the ability to recognise formula cars, motorcycles, aeroplanes, helicopters, trains, and birds, as well as animals (dogs and cats).

There have also been exponential improvements to sequential shooting performance, reaching up to 50 fps blackout-free AF/AE tracking at approximately 20.37 Megapixel, and up to 120 fps AF/AE locked ultra-high-speed sequential shooting.

High-Speed, High-Quality Hardware

By including sealing materials on the camera’s lightweight, magnesium alloy body, the OM SYSTEM OM-1 Digital Camera achieves an IP53 dustproof and class 6 splashproof protection.

This design makes the OM SYSTEM OM-1 the perfect weather-resistant ally for shooting in more punishing environments with an impressive freezeproof performance of up to -10 degrees celsius.

To further improve shooting comfort, the OM SYSTEM OM-1 ensures optimal viewfinder performance. The Electronic Viewfinder is equipped with approximately 5.76 million dot resolution, a viewfinder magnification of up to 1.65x, a display delay of 0.005 seconds7, and 120 fps high-speed display performance. The OM SYSTEM OM-1 is designed to not only feature all the best facets of an optical viewfinder, but also the advantages of a digital viewfinder. Users can view subjects and check exposure even in dark locations.

Creative Video Functions for Creators

As a lightweight Micro Four Thirds camera with industry-leading image stabilisation, the OM SYSTEM OM-1 is ideal for shooting stable handheld video. Creative video functions include 4K 60p for smooth, high-definition videos, and high-speed movie with Full HD videos at a maximum 240p. The camera also supports H.264 (8bit), H.265 (10bit), and Multi-Frame Rate for recording video clips over 30 minutes in length.

In addition to high-definition recording, the OM SYSTEM OM-1 also simplifies post-production processes. This camera has a RAW data output up to 12 bit 4:4:4 to external devices and also supports OM-Log to provide a greater level of artistic expression thanks to colour grading. Users can capture highlights and shadows without overexposing or underexposing shots. The HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) video picture mode has also been added for easier HDR video recording.

High-Resolution, Super-Telephoto Lens

This lens is capable of great things. The lens has a 150-400mm focal range which equates to 300-800mm in 35mm format. But the trick this lens has which most do not is the fact this lens is equipped with a built-in 1.25x teleconverter. Using this teleconverter boosts the range to of your lens to 187.5-500mm or 375-1000mm in full-frame format. It maintains an incredible optical performance when using the converter which means you'll be able to get the equivalent to 1000mm focal range, handheld. That's right, you have all an incredible range at your fingertips and know that it's guaranteed to perform. Of course, you can double this up using the OM SYSTEM MC-20 teleconverter which will result in a massive 2000mm maximum focal range (in 35mm full-frame format.)

It has a close focusing distance of just 1.3m across the entire zoom range and a maximum image magnification (in 35mm format) of 0.57x, increasing to 0.71x when you incorporate the built-in teleconverter. What does this mean? It means you can have the power of a super-telephoto lens that can also produce stunning tele-macro photography.

The Lens Construction

Let's take a look at the lens construction. It consists of 28 glass elements in 18 groups and the built-in teleconverter alone consists of 7 elements in 4 groups. The glass elements include a newly developed large-diameter Extra-low Dispersion Aspherical lens (EDA), 4 Super ED lenses, 2 ED lenses, 2 HR lenses and a single HD lens. The combination of these high-quality glass elements guarantees reduced flare and colour bleeding across the entire zoom range. Furthermore, it results in stunning resolution, sharpness and clarity from edge-to-edge even though it's a large-diameter lens with a fixed F4.5 aperture. Of course, OM SYSTEM has used their Z Coating Nano technology which also contributes to the overall sharpness, even in backlit environments.

Powerful Image Stabilisation

This lens is designed for hand-held shooting and more specifically for those who shoot wildlife, nature and outdoor sports photography. OM SYSTEM has used their high-precision lens thinning technology enabling them to produce a comparatively lightweight lens and therefore, giving you faster and more precise focusing across the entire zoom range. This lightweight construction also contributes to the image stabilisation. This OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm f4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO Lens features (at the time of release) the world's strongest 5-axis sync image stabilisation, and when attached to the OM SYSTEM OM-D E-M1X and at its widest angle shot, it achieves an incredible 8 EV steps of compensation. It'll even have impressive image stabilisation when using the optional OM SYSTEM MC-20 teleconverter at it's furthest possible reach!

Lightweight, Compact & Weatherproof

We've briefly discussed OM SYSTEM's precise lens thinning technology, but there's more to it than just that. OM SYSTEM built the lens barrel out of a strong but lightweight magnesium alloy and carbon fibre for the hood. The use of carbon fibre for the hood, which is lighter than the magnesium alloy barrel, is to ensure the centre of gravity of the lens does not shift towards the end of the lens when your hood is attached. The materials which they've used ultimately help to maintain a strong and precise structure whilst also being compact and lightweight.

The lens features a heat-resistant coating which differs to the standard black coating you'll see on most other lenses. This coating is designed to reflect infrared rays from the sun which keeps the internal temperature from rising, even in the hottest direct sunlight which results in a stable and reliable optical performance. As well as this, the front element of the lens has been coating in fluorine which provides a smooth, scratch-resistant surface which is not only easier to clean but of course, reduces the chances of scratching your lens.
