20.4MP 4/3'' Live MOS sensor and TruePic IX Image Processor
The OM-5 is centred around a high-resolution 20.4MP 4/3'' Live MOS sensor and TruePic IX image processor that combine to deliver highly detailed stills and 4K video while keeping noise to a minimum. It is also quick thanks to the sensor and processor combination, enabling continuous shooting rates of up to 10 fps with the mechanical shutter and up to 30 fps in electronic shutter mode.
4K Video Recording and Vertical Video Recording
The OM-5 supports recording 4K 30p movies and Full HD 1080p and HD 720p recordings for file size versatility, perfect for recording stories that a single frame can't capture. Vertical video recording is now possible for easy formatting on social media platforms. The built-in stereo microphone is excellent for easy audio recording, but a 3.5 mm mini-jack is available for attaching an external microphone for the best audio quality.
Advanced Autofocus System
Combining 121 cross-type phase-detection and 121 contrast-detection AF points delivers quick and accurate focusing in mixed lighting conditions. The Focus area is adjustable, selecting between single-area, 5-area, 9-area, and 25-area or custom to suit the subject's size and accommodate the shooting distance. Manual focusing is supported with an enlarged focusing area, focus peaking and a focus indicator.
5-Axis Sensor-Shift Image Stabilisation
The in-body sensor-shift 5-axis image stabilisation in the OM-5 effectively minimises the appearance of camera shake typically associated with using telephoto lenses, shooting at slower shutter speeds, and macro photography. Providing up to 6.5 stops of compensation and up to 7.5 stops when paired with compatible Sync-IS lenses, this advanced stabilisation system benefits both stills and hand-held video recording to capture smooth footage on the go effortlessly.
