SPEED AND ACCURACY ARE ESSENTIALS FOR OUTDOOR PHOTOGRAPHY.
The OM-1 Mark II picks up where the original OM-1 left off. The new camera boasts a double buffer size and remarkable high-speed sequential shooting — up to 50fps with continuous autofocus — coupled with improved autofocus accuracy and reliability.
Autofocus with AI subject detection
Om System improved the AI Subject Detection to maintain focus more accurately and reliably and detect humans.
The enhanced AI Subject Detection lets you selectively focus on a single subject, giving you precision in crowded scenes.
More accurate than ever before
OM-1 Mark II significantly enhances Auto Focus precision, especially for wildlife and adventure outdoor photography. This translates to an Auto Focus system that reliably locks onto subjects even in the most demanding photographic scenarios.
Pro Capture up to 120fps
With our Pro Capture Mode, when you press the shutter button down halfway, it begins buffering a running series of photos at 120fps. When you see the moment you want, fully press the shutter, and the camera saves that moment, plus the buffered shots. Never miss a shot again because of a slow reaction.
Double buffer size
With increased memory in the camera, we've more than doubled the buffer size, jumping from 92* (*OM-1) to an impressive 213 photos at 120 fps in RAW format.
Blackout-free sequential shooting
In addition to the existing 25-120 fps, we've added 12.5 and 16 fps for a better shooting experience for static subjects.
IT'S WHAT'S INSIDE THAT COUNTS.
A significant focus of the OM-1 Mark II is its capability in computational photography. With the introduction of LiveGND — an in-camera graduated neutral density filter — you're to leave your costly and clumsy external filters behind and trust the camera. Additionally, we've significantly enhanced the LiveND and High Res Shot features.
No more clumsy filters. LiveGND
Introducing the new LiveGND, our Graduated Neutral Density filter for creative freedom to position the graduation precisely as you like.
The full spectrum of tones High Res Shot
The high-res shot mode has always been a standout feature, and now, you can capture photos in 14-bit RAW.
80MP with tripod
50MP handheld
LiveND
Get long exposure shots in bright daylight with the in-camera LiveND feature. The OM-1 Mark II takes LiveND one EV stop further, up to ND128, providing even greater flexibility in challenging conditions.
Live Composite
The OM-1 Mark II's Live Composite mode takes continuous photos with the same exposure time. Then, it combines them into a single shot — making star trail photography and light painting easy without the fear of overexposure.
Focus stacking
Focus Stacking gives your images a whole new dimension by extending the depth of field from foreground to background. This is achieved by taking up to 15 individual photos at varying focus distances and stitching them into a single rendered composite image.
COMPACT SIZE. FULL EXPERIENCE.
Not only is the OM-1 Mark II built compact enough to go with you anywhere, but It also introduces industry-leading features to let you leave needless things behind. With a record 8.5 EV stops in camera stabilization, you can quickly ditch the tripod and travel lighter.
8.5 EV stops of magic
The OM-1 Mark II boasts an impressive 8.5 EV stops of stabilization, taking it 1.5 stops further than the already remarkable OM-1. It also features Sync-IS up to 8.5 stops.
Keep Calm, Carry-On.
Compared to the rivals, Om System is lighter in system weight. With the OM-1 Mark II, you fit a complete camera gear set in a standard Carry-On bag.
Good to go. All day.
The OM-1 Mark II functions Power efficiently. Coupled with our high-capacity BLX-1 Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries, you can shoot up to 500 photos for hours with a single charge.
AN OUTDOOR CAMERA AS TOUGH AS YOU ARE.
Om System didn't cut corners with the great outdoors. With IP53-certified weather sealing, the OM-1 Mark II is built to excel through snow, dust, and rain. The tactile hand-feel of the body is also improved with the introduction of new rubbery dials for better grip and feel.
Not just secure but proofed. IP53 Certified
The OM-1 Mark II can take everything from snowy mountain tops to desert sands. The IP53 standard indicates our dedication to keeping your camera dust and splashproof.
Freezeproof Construction
Om System built the OM-1 Mark II to withstand the cold with a build to thrive even when temperatures drop to -10°C.
Super Sonic Wave Filter
The OM-1 Mark II features a sensor filter to ward off dust and dirt with 30.000 vibrations per second each time you Power on the camera.
