The Olympus OM-D E-M5 is a mirrorless system camera for the Micro Four Thirds system. It has been available in European stores since March 2012.
description
The name and appearance of the first camera in the OM-D series are based on the OM series developed by Olympus from 1972 to 2002 . The OM series, however, only comprised SLR cameras with 35 mm film , the OM-D system, however, is based entirely on digital technology .
The E-M5 is the first camera housing in this system from Olympus that is equipped with a built-in electronic viewfinder . As a world first, it has a five-axis image stabilizer and is also dust and splash-proof. Although the camera does not use any additional focus sensors, it focuses very quickly with the help of the CMOS image sensor and adapted stepper motors in the lenses using the contrast autofocus method .
Further developments
Mark II
In 2015, Olympus presented the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II , which, unlike the previous model, is equipped with WLAN and not only a foldable, but also a swiveling monitor. The shortest shutter speed that can be set has been reduced from 1/4000 to 1/8000 of a second, and instead of ± 3, ± 5 levels of exposure compensation can now be selected.
Mark III
In October 2019, the third version, Olympus OM-D E-M5 III , followed, which has the following major changes:
- higher video resolution 4K (with 30 frames per second)
- higher frame rate with video resolution 2K (with 120 frames per second)
- higher image sensor resolution (20 megapixels)
- more auto focus areas (121 phase contrast)
- electronic viewfinder with OLED technology
- Support of SD memory cards with UHS-II
Awards
In April 2012, Digital Photography Review awarded the OM-D EM-5 a Gold Award , and it was the test winner in Chip magazine's system camera test . In addition, the model was awarded the EISA award as "European Compact System Camera" in 2012 .:
