Ready for an Adventure

The OM-5 is the perfect companion for the hikers, the rafters, the campers and the climbers of the world. Boasting an impressively durable design, this camera comes equipped with sealing throughout to deliver IP531-rated protection that is dustproof, splashproof , and freezeproof to -10°C. Thanks to this high level of weather resistance, users can focus on the photo opportunity before them without worrying about their equipment being subject to rain showers, snow, or water droplets.

The OM-5 is also equipped with an SSWF (Supersonic Wave Filter) to prevent any unwanted dust and dirt from gathering on the sensor when changing lenses. This is perfect for active shooters that want to capture every detail of their journey as they switch from capturing wildlife with a telephoto lens to shooting a sweeping landscape with an ultra-wide angle prime.

Next-Generation Micro Four-Thirds Camera

Although compact in size, the OM-5 is packed with industry-leading tech to provide users with a high-performing, next-generation Micro Four Thirds camera. Whilst the OM-5 delivers 6.5 steps of image stabilisation in camera alone, it also uses 5-axis IS sync to reach 7.5 steps when paired with a compatible lens. Combined with the well-renowned 20.37 million effective pixel Live MOS sensor and the high-performance TruePic IX image processing engine, the OM-5 not only makes shooting handheld at slow shutter speeds possible but also delivers natural gradations with minimal noise and high image quality even at high-sensitivity settings.

Less Guess Work, More Memory Making

With great adventures come fleeting moments you’ll want to be able to look back on. The OM-5 makes is possible to capture all your most memorable highlights using a 121-point all cross-type On-chip Phase Detection AF sensor. With improved AF functions, the OM-5 is able to automatically detect faces/eyes and maintain a stable autofocus performance even as subjects move around the frame.

You can also let the OM-5 know you want to prioritise focusing on a specific person at the touch of a button - meaning priceless expressions are never missed and are yours to look back on in years to come. Better yet, the OM-5 also takes the guesswork out of manual focusing with a Starry Sky AF feature. By combining this mode with other computational features, users can create some truly stunning starscapes.

Expand The Realms of Expression

Thanks to advances in computational photography, the OM SYSTEM OM-5 follows in the footsteps of the OM-1 by incorporating shooting modes for photographic expressions that have traditionally required specialist equipment. These shooting modes include, but are not limited to, High-Res Shot, Live ND, Live Composite, Focus Stacking, Pro Capture, Keystone Compensation and more.

With High-Res shot, users can shoot handheld from nearly any angle and create 50 Megapixel high-resolution images with minimal noise. Focus Stacking works in a similar way, taking 8 shots at different focal positions and automatically generating a single image with a stunning background defocusing effect.

Both Live ND and Pro Capture modes replicate the effects of shutter speed control. Whilst Live ND achieves results similar to those using ND filter up to ND16 (4 shutter speed steps), Pro Capture records previous frames beginning with the moment the shutter button is pressed fully to ensure users never miss a moment.

Tell The Whole Story

Whilst the powerful in-body 5-axis image stabilisation and On-chip Phase Detection AF sensor is perfect for shooting stills, combining them with the dedicated video electronic stabilisation works a treat for hybrid shooters, too. With these features, users can easily achieve stable, hand-held 4K videos without time restraints. And, thanks to the support for OM-Log, there’s a greater level of freedom over editing that can help users with colour grading and allows them to capture highlights and shadows without overexposing or underexposing shots.

Or if you prefer a shoot-and-share scenario, the OM-5 is able to shoot Vertical video. Videos recorded in a vertical orientation on the camera are saved as vertical files, making them easy to post on social media without the need for any special editing software.

14-150mm f4-5.6 II Lens

The 14-150mm f4.0-5.6 ED II lens offers Micro Four Thirds users the flexibility to shoot everything from wide-angle to telephoto. Not only is this lens lightweight and portable with a dust- and splash-proof design but it also benefits from an exclusive MSC "Movie and Still Compatible" lens drive for lightning-fast, reliable auto-focusing that is virtually silent. So, whether you’re shooting video or stills, this lens will not generate any unwanted intrusive noise.
