Olympus

• Dust- & splashproof design
• Prime viewfinder technology
• Next generation 16Mpixel sensor

Cutting-edge yet nostalgic in appearance, the Olympus E-M5 takes all the past engineering expertise of the Micro Four Thirds standard and overhauls it with enhanced features and innovations on the inside. The jewel in the crown of the E-M5 is its ingenious electronic viewfinder system. Unlike an optical VF, it lets you frame images and get creative with them too - controlling highlights & shadows, white balance, magnification and aspect before even taking the shot. The E-M5’s incredible image quality owes a great deal to its new 16M Live MOS sensor,fully utilised by the powerful TruePic VI image processor. It gives you all the detail of 16-megapixel resolution, plus greatly reduced noise, high range of sensitivity, a wide dynamic range, rich gradation and accurate colour reproduction.

Team this up with the world’s fastest AF system* with vastly improved functionality and you can look forward to incredible sharpness with greater control than ever before. The list of pioneering technological breakthroughs is truly extensive: Yet another is the world’s first 5-axis image stabilisation: Visible and controllable through the viewfinder, this sophisticated in-built mechanism compensates for every blur giving you razor-sharp stills and movies. This is one tough tool on the outside too: The magnesium alloy body has a dust- and splashproof design that can handle some pretty rugged conditions.
