The Olympus OM-D E-M1 is a mirrorless system camera from Olympus for the Micro Four Thirds system. As the successor to the Olympus E-5, it replaces the Four-Thirds system and has been available in European stores since October 2013.
In September 2016, the successor model Olympus OM-D E-M1 II ("II" pronounced: "Mark 2") with a higher image resolution (20 megapixels and 4K video ), more measuring fields (121 cross sensor fields ) and faster image processing was presented can record up to 60 raw data images per second without tracked autofocus and 18 raw data recordings per second with tracked autofocus. The number of shots on one battery charge has been increased to 440, while the battery charging time has been reduced to two hours. At the end of 2016, photojournalists awarded the Mark II the title “Best Camera of the Year”.
The OM-D EM 1 Mark III appeared in February 2020. By using the new "TruePic IX" processor, it has many features of the OM-D EM 1 X, for example improved face & eye tracking, a digital live ND filter, improved image stabilization and improved resolution of HiRes recordings. Despite the increase in performance, the camera kept its compact format.
Functions
The E-M1 has a built wireless module that deals with the special Olympus app called OI.Share on Android - and Apple iOS - smartphone - or tablet can connect. This makes it possible to view the current viewfinder image on the end device and to control the camera completely from there.
In live view mode, the camera has tools such as a software magnifying glass , focus peaking , face recognition , electronic spirit level and a histogram for displaying the distribution of brightness values both on the screen and in the electronic viewfinder before the picture is taken . The viewfinder image of an optical viewfinder can also be simulated in the viewfinder. The autofocus works with both contrast measurement and phase measurement.
On September 15, 2014, the firmware version 2.0 was presented, which extends the range of functions. In addition to rectifying converging lines ( keystone correction ) that affects the JPEG image , the live composite presented in March 2014 with the OM-D E-M10 is now also possible with the E-M1. Here, a basic exposure can be repeated as often as required, only brighter image information being added to the basic exposure, which simplifies start- rail photography , for example . In addition, the E-M1 now also offers wired remote control using a Windows or Mac OS X computer and the free downloadable Olympus Capture software . As a further innovation, the E-M1 takes on additional vintage art filters and a very freely configurable color key function from the PEN E-PL7 introduced in September 2014.
As of firmware version 4, focus stacking can be carried out directly after the relevant recordings have been made with the camera housing and recordings can be made with a silent electronic shutter .
Compatibility with Four Thirds lenses
Via an adapter, which the flange aligns were Four Thirds Lenses E-System already attachable to other mirrorless Micro Four Thirds cameras, but offered (with few exceptions) where no satisfactory autofocus because the optics of phase contrast measurement are dependent, however, previous mirrorless cameras only allow contrast edge measurement due to the system . With the E-M1, 37 phase contrast sensors are integrated directly into the image sensor for the first time (the few missing image pixels are supplemented by the camera through interpolation ), which means faster autofocus with the E-System lenses. The camera automatically adapts the measuring method to the lens attached.
