This innovation empowers users to capture steady shots while retaining unmatched agility and mobility, unleashing a world of creative possibilities.

World-first in-camera live grad ND filter effects

Unveiling a groundbreaking technology, the OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark II introduces the world to Live GND (Graduated ND) shooting—a pioneering leap in computational photography. This innovative feature meticulously replicates the effects of employing a half ND, providing precise control over brightness and darkness within the image to yield truly stunning output. Seamlessly adjusting filter steps (GND2, GND4, or GND8) and types (Soft, Medium, or Hard) in real-time through the EVF or rear LCD, Live GND shooting offers photographers unparalleled flexibility. This unique approach facilitates exact customisation of the effect's position and angle, empowering photographers to effortlessly bring their envisioned images to life.

Notably, Live GND shooting eliminates the need for physical filters attached to the lens. This groundbreaking feature extends the realm of creative expression, particularly in genres like landscape photography, where lenses may lack filter threads. Pushing the boundaries further, the OM-1 Mark II enhances the upper limit for step numbers in Live ND shooting to ND128, making it adept at handling scenarios requiring larger step numbers. Experience a new era of creativity and precision with Live GND shooting—redefining the artistry of photography.

More than just a 20MP sensor

Unleashing formidable imaging capabilities, the OM-1 Mark II pioneers functions like the approximately 50M Handheld High Res Shot and approximately 80M Tripod High Res Shot. These advanced features transcend sensor limitations by ingeniously merging multiple images, resulting in high-resolution captures that reduce noise by nearly two ISO sensitivity steps. Enabling RAW recording at 14 bits, these functions elevate the photography experience, delivering exquisite detail and clarity in every shot.

In addition to these powerful capabilities, the camera boasts computational photography functions such as Live Composite and Focus Stacking. Live Composite selectively illuminates brightened areas, enhancing the dynamic range of images. Meanwhile, Focus Stacking provides precise control over the depth of field, ensuring accurate subject focus and depth for unparalleled visual storytelling. Elevate your photography with the OM-1 Mark II—where innovation meets imaging excellence.

Advanced AI Detection AF

Powered by cutting-edge deep learning technologies, the enhanced AI Detection AF of the OM-1 Mark II is a technological marvel, recognising a diverse array of subjects—from humans and racing cars to animals and aviation. This advancement seamlessly integrates with the established Face Priority / Eye Priority AF, significantly refining autofocus capabilities. The system excels in accurately identifying subjects, even in challenging scenarios like profiles, obscured faces, or unconventional angles.

Harnessing the rapid computational prowess of the TruePic X image processor, the AI Detection AF offers instantaneous real-time subject detection. It tracks subjects with precision, ensuring they stay in focus without any loss, even capturing intricate details like driver's helmets or the eyes of birds and animals—feats unattainable through human operation. With the ability to detect and track up to eight subjects, users have unparalleled flexibility in selecting their preferred target, enhancing creative possibilities.

Usability enhancements make configuring subject detection settings a breeze, accessible within the intuitive Super Control Panel. This streamlined feature ensures stress-free shooting experiences, granting users greater control over their photographic endeavors. Elevate your photography with the OM-1 Mark II's state-of-the-art AI Detection AF technology.

Enhanced memory buffer

Unleashing unprecedented speed, the OM-1 Mark II introduces Pro Capture, revolutionizing your ability to capture fleeting moments. With a half-press of the shutter button (1st release), it begins recording, storing precious frames from the moment the button is fully pressed (2nd release). This ensures you never miss a beat, achieving high-speed sequential shooting at up to 120 fps during AF/AE lock and around 50 fps during AF/AE tracking, ideal for fast-moving subjects.

Enhanced buffer memory allows for approximately 99 frames in Pro Capture mode, a significant boost from the OM-1's 70 frames. In sequential shooting, the OM-1 Mark II achieves about 219 frames in JPEG format or 213 frames in RAW at approximately 120 fps. This substantial improvement elevates your high-speed shooting capabilities, ensuring you capture every moment with unparalleled precision and efficiency.

IP53-class dustproof and splashproof

Crafted for resilience, the OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark II boasts a sturdy magnesium alloy body with strategic seals, achieving an IP53-class dustproof and splashproof design. Enduring the toughest conditions, it operates flawlessly down to -10°C, ensuring performance in demanding environments.

The 5.76 million-dot organic EL (OLED) viewfinder enhances the shooting experience with high resolution, a 0.83x magnification, a minimal display delay of 0.005 seconds, and a rapid display performance of 120 fps. Offering clarity comparable to an optical viewfinder, it excels in low-light scenarios, allowing users to preview shots before capturing—an advantage of electronic viewfinders. The anti-fogging coating ensures a clear field of view, even in rainy conditions.

Featuring a robust dust reduction system, the OM-1 Mark II prevents dust accumulation on the image sensor, maintaining image quality and system reliability. This combination of durability and advanced features makes it the ideal companion for photographers navigating challenging shooting conditions.
