PRECISION AND FUNCTION
Powerhouse of technology
AF Targeting Pad:
Added convenience
For more flexibility in shooting style, the AF Targeting Pad lets you move the
autofocus point using touch operations while looking through the large Electronic
Viewfinder. The Targeting Pad is easy to operate when shooting vertically and
particularly handy when looking through the EVF.
14 Olympus OM-D
E-M1 MARK II
Small AF Target:
More detail
To get the most out of close-up or macro photography, when the subject is
small, the E-M1 Mark II now provides small AF Target focusing – available in
both the S-AF and C-AF shooting modes. The AF Area Pointer is significantly
smaller, making it more sensitive and thus ideal for focusing on a more
detailed position on the subject.
Electronic Viewfinder:
Accurate, smooth response
The response of the Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) is at a high speed never before
available with OM-D. The rate of 120fps and the smooth 5-millisecond-latency
display make it possible to capture even quick-moving subjects with full accuracy.
The large EVF’s Creative Control option provides freedom of control over colour,
tone, focus, and aspect ratios directly on the viewfinder in ease and comfort.
Olympus OM-D 15
IMAGE QUALITY
This highly powerful 5-Axis IS system also allows for steady, freestyle filming without the need
for an external camera stabiliser. With the high-end OM-D, the IS control provides smooth
movie results even while panning. So any videographer can closely follow the action, get right
up to the subject and film from fascinating angles while walking – and record clear, sharp
movies at the same time.

Robust, reliable build
Dustproof, splashproof, freezeproof – OM-D cameras* are made for virtually any weather and any location. Thanks to their
practically impenetrable magnesium alloy body with up to 60 gasket rings for maximum protection, OM-D cameras
are ideal for photography in damp habitats or sandy situations. Many, like the most recent high-end models, go a step
further: they enable operation in sub-zero temperatures right down to –10°C. This makes OM-D ideal for any photo
