Product Features in Detail
Take your shot before the click
Get more control (and creativity) with the Electronic Viewfinder (EVF). Get more control from the start – with the EVF, which lets you make adjustments and get creative before you even press the shutter.
Freeze the frame on every droplet
Stay up to speed with the world’s fastest autofocus. If you’re after a camera with ultra-fast AF, look no further. The EM-5 is faster than any other interchangeable lens camera including D-SLRs. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, it also boasts a 35-point area, 3D Tracking, superb low-light capabilities and predictive AF.
Always ready, in the harshest conditions
Dust- and splashproof design you can rely on. From damp habitats to sandy situations: Thanks to the dust- and splashproof design of the EM-5’s rugged magnesium body you can enjoy absolute peace of mind, even on location in the toughest environments.
Get a better view, wherever you’re holding your camera
As well as enjoying a much clearer view when shooting and playing back stills and movies, you can also tilt your display for extra-low and extra-high shots without having to lie on the ground or climb up trees!
Always get the full picture
Made from OLED (organic light-emitting diodes), this high-powered display gives you more accurate colour reproduction and higher contrast for a more realistic impression of your images. And whether you’re shooting, reviewing or showing friends, it gives you full view of the screen from much greater angles.
Focus & shoot with one touch
It’s both fast and easy: The touchscreen interface lets you focus intuitively on the part of your image you want to be sharp, and even releases the shutter at the same time – all with the touch of your finger.
No steady hand needed
Keep your balance with the world’s first 5-axis image stabilisation. Forwards, backwards, upwards, downwards, sideways, tiltways, slantways … whichever way you happen to move your camera unintentionally – this sophisticated mechanism will compensate for every possible blur.
Full HD Movie
Look forward to Full HD 1080i movie recording in MPEG4 complete with stereo sound, 5-axis image stabilisation and the latest MSC lens technology
Superb image quality
The next-generation 16M Live MOS sensor delivers first-class results with high-resolution accuracy and a high range of sensitivity, backed up with a powerful TruePic VI image processor affording superb dynamic range.
System Accessories
Get the right gear for just the kind of shots and movies you’re after: with a whole system of accessories and M.ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses for all possible situations & purposes.
9 frames per second
