OM System OM-1 Mark II Mirrorless Camera & 12–40mm f/2.8 II Lens

The OM System OM-1 Mark II Mirrorless Camera with 12–40mm f/2.8 II Lens is a flagship Micro Four Thirds system built for professionals and serious enthusiasts who demand speed, durability and uncompromising performance in the field. As the first flagship to carry the OM System name, the OM-1 Mark II refines an already proven platform with improved image stabilisation, enhanced AI subject detection, advanced video capabilities and a tougher, more tactile design.

Ideal for wildlife, nature, sports and outdoor photography, this kit pairs the OM-1 Mark II body with the versatile 12–40mm f/2.8 II PRO zoom—delivering a fast, weather-sealed solution ready for demanding environments.

Flagship Performance with Stacked BSI Sensor

At the heart of the OM-1 Mark II is a 20MP stacked BSI Live MOS Micro Four Thirds sensor, paired with the powerful TruePic X processor. This combination delivers exceptional image quality, rapid readout speeds and impressive low-light performance, with a native ISO range of 200–102,400.

The Micro Four Thirds crop factor provides additional reach, making this camera especially well suited to wildlife and bird photography, where framing distant subjects quickly is essential.

Cross Quad Pixel Phase-Detection Autofocus

The OM-1 Mark II features an advanced Cross Quad Pixel Phase-Detection AF system with 1053 focus points covering nearly the entire sensor area. This allows for precise, high-speed focusing almost anywhere in the frame.

Powered by AI subject detection, the camera can automatically recognise and track:

• Humans

• Birds

• Dogs and cats

• Cars and motorcycles

• Aeroplanes, helicopters and trains

This intelligent autofocus system works seamlessly with the TruePic X processor to deliver fast, reliable subject tracking—even with erratic or fast-moving subjects.

High-Speed Shooting with Minimal Blackout

Capture decisive moments with confidence thanks to impressive continuous shooting performance:

• Up to 10 fps with the mechanical shutter

• Up to 120 fps with the electronic shutter

Improved blackout-free sequential shooting ensures a clear, uninterrupted view of your subject, helping you maintain precise composition during high-speed bursts.

Industry-Leading 5-Axis Image Stabilisation

Handheld shooting is taken to the next level with upgraded 5-Axis In-Body Image Stabilisation, offering up to 8.5 EV stops of compensation—a 20% improvement over the previous generation. This makes it possible to capture tack-sharp images at slower shutter speeds, even in challenging lighting conditions or when using longer focal lengths.

Advanced Computational Photography Tools

The OM-1 Mark II includes powerful in-camera tools designed to expand creative possibilities:

• High-Resolution Shot mode for ultra-detailed images

• Live ND up to ND128 for long-exposure effects without physical filters

• Live GND for balanced exposure in high-contrast scenes

• Live Composite for controlled long-exposure photography

These features allow you to visualise effects in real time through the viewfinder or LCD.

Professional Video Capabilities

Designed for hybrid shooters, the OM-1 Mark II delivers robust video performance:

• DCI & UHD 4K recording up to 60p

• 10-bit 4:2:0 internal recording

• 14-bit RAW output for maximum post-production flexibility

• Full HD up to 240 fps for slow-motion capture

New vertical video support enables portrait-orientation recording, streamlining content creation for social platforms and reducing time spent in post-production.

Designed for Extreme Conditions

Built for life outdoors, the OM-1 Mark II features a rugged IP53-rated body that is:

• Dust-proof

• Splash-resistant

• Freeze-proof down to -10°C / 14°F

Rubberised dials provide improved tactile feedback when shooting with gloves or in wet conditions, making this camera a dependable tool in harsh environments.

High-Resolution Viewfinder & Articulated Touchscreen

• 5.76-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder delivers a bright, detailed eye-level view

• 3.0-inch 1.62-million-dot swivel touchscreen LCD enables flexible shooting angles for stills and video
