- Night Vision mode brings out the details of a scene shrouded in darkness, clearly displaying both the night sky and the foreground and simplifying composition.
- Hand Held Assist allows users to gauge the stability of handheld long exposures in real time.
- All 121 phase-detection points are cross-type for improved precision in mixed lighting conditions, providing enhanced subject tracking capabilities.
- Different focusing modes are available to suit working in various shooting conditions as well, including Group Target 25-point mode for moving subjects such as birds and wildlife.
- Face and Eye subject detection modes are available, as well as Starry Sky AF mode as well as individual AF area settings for vertical and horizontal positions.
- The image stabilization system works across five axes to compensate for vertical angle rotation, horizontal angle rotation, horizontal shift, vertical shift, and rolling camera shake movement.
- When paired with select lenses featuring optical image stabilization, shake compensation up to 7.5 stops is possible.
- The system benefits use with the High-Res Shot and Hand Held Assist shooting modes, allowing you to capture sharp images with incredible detail, even in low light.
- When working in DCI, a true 24p frame rate is used, while UHD 4K is available in frame rates up to 30p.
- Audio recording is possible using the built-in stereo microphone, and an external mic jack is available for improved audio recording quality.
- Limitless video recording is possible, within the constraints of storage and battery.
- Time-lapse Movie mode is also available for recording up to 4K UHD resolution.
- The camera can be used as a UVC/UAC web camera when connected to a compatible device via USB-C cable.
- The rear LCD shows a red Recording rectangle when live capturing footage, and a red indicator lamp on the front of the camera lights up during recording as well.
- 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 in handheld mode, and an 80MP image using a tripod.
- 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.
- Vertical Video mode provides a 9:16 aspect ratio for easily integrating videos on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and other similar platforms.
- High-resolution 2.36m-dot electronic viewfinder for eye-level monitoring and clear, distortion-free viewing.
- Rear 3.0" 1.04m-dot LCD monitor features a vari-angle design to support working from a variety of angles, and it is also a touchscreen for intuitive menu navigation and image playback.
- Included BLS-50 rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides approximately 310 shots per charge.
- Single SD memory card slot is UHS-II compatible for fast read/write speeds.
- Wide accessory compatibility provided with the incorporation of a microphone port, a top hot shoe, USB-C and micro-HDMI ports, and a 2.5mm port for optional remotes.
- Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth permits wireless image sharing and remote camera control from a linked smartphone or tablet.
Spanning a versatile zoom range from wide-angle to portrait-length, the silver M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II R from Olympus is a 28-84mm equivalent lens for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. The optical design uses three aspherical elements to correct for distortion and spherical aberration, in order to achieve notable sharpness and clarity, and these elements help to retain a compact and lightweight form factor. Additionally, the lens also features a Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system, which provides fast and near-silent focusing performance to benefit both video and photo applications.
