The OM System OM-1 Body Only - Black features a compact, lightweight design for superior mobility along with high image quality. As the OM SYSTEM flagship camera, this camera delivers a one-of-a-kind experience to drive your desire to create.

The OM System OM-1 is the culmination of cutting-edge digital technologies, delivering high image quality that goes beyond the expectation of the sensor size. It also features autofocus and sequential shooting performance that far surpasses conventional models, and dramatically improves basic performance.

Computational photography technology incorporated at an early stage, empowers the photographer to utilise features such as Live Composite and High Res Shot mode, without the need for advanced shooting techniques or special equipment or skills. The OM SYSTEM OM-1 features enhanced computational photography functions to deliver a rich range of expressive power for more photographic opportunities than ever before.

Thanks to the superb mobility of the Micro Four Thirds system, the OM SYSTEM OM-1 can be taken anywhere at any time, allowing anyone to take advantage of its high performance to capture versatile imaging expressions with high image quality. This is the next generation Micro Four Thirds camera brought to you by OM SYSTEM.

High Image Quality That Goes Beyond Expectations

The OM-1 features a high-end compact, lightweight body unique to OM SYSTEM, including the new 20 Megapixel Stacked BSI Live MOS sensor, and the latest TruePic X image processor, which is three times faster than previous models. The OM SYSTEM OM-1 delivers high image quality that goes beyond the expectations of the sensor size. Not only does it take full advantage of high-resolution M.Zuiko Digital lens performance, delivering the highest ever resolution, but new noise processing technology increases the maximum normal sensitivity to ISO 25600, and an expanded maximum sensitivity to ISO 102400. Furthermore, the dynamic range has been improved thanks to the latest image processing technology. These improvements deliver a richer range of tonal expressions than ever before, from shadows to highlights.

The OM SYSTEM advantage of high-performance image stabilisation delivers up to 8.0 steps of compensation with 5-axis sync IS, and up to 7 steps with the body alone. The new Handheld Assist feature makes it easy to capture slow shutter speed effects that previously required a tripod.

High-speed Performance | Newly Developed Autofocus, Dramatically Improved Performance & Maximum 50 fps Sequential Shooting with AF/AE tracking

A quad-division photo diode configuration allows for On-chip Phase Detection in both vertical and horizontal directions. 1,053-point, all cross-type, the world’s first Cross Quad Pixel AF is utilised to focus on various patterns of subjects across all pixels and the entire shooting range.

The high-speed calculation capabilities of the new TruePic X processor and the new AF algorithm enable high-speed, high precision focusing on the subject no matter where it is in the frame.

Furthermore, the OM1 is equipped with AI Detection AF, which has been developed using deep learning technology. In addition to greater than ever high-speed, high-precision subject recognition and tracking, this camera can recognise formula cars, motorcycles, airplanes, helicopters, trains, and birds, as well as animals (dogs and cats). In addition to C-AF, this functionality is also supported with S-AF for shooting a wider variety of scenes. The detection precision, tracking performance, and responsiveness of Face Priority/Eye Priority AF have been improved significantly.

There have also been exponential improvements to sequential shooting performance, reaching up to 50 fps blackout free AF/AE tracking at approximately 20.37 Megapixel, and up to 120 fps AF/AE locked ultra-high-speed sequential shooting. When using Pro Capture, which is designed for capturing shots that are not possible during normal shooting, you can enjoy sequential shooting up to 50 fps (AF/AE tracking) and up to 120 fps (AF/AE locked).

Enhanced Computational Photography

Photographic expressions that have traditionally required special equipment and a computer to composite images are available in the OM SYSTEM OM-1.

The OM SYSTEM OM-1 uses a combination of the new TruePic X image processor, the new image sensor, and the latest digital technologies to make computational photography features better and even easier to use. When paired with high-performance M.Zuiko PRO lenses, the system makes it possible to capture a greater range of imaging expressions only possible with the OM SYSTEM OM-1

High Res Shot
The processing time has been significantly reduced to approx. 5 seconds to merge for 50 MP Handheld High Res Shot, a mode popular for landscape photos because of its ability to capture high-resolution approximately 50 Megapixel images by merging multiple images. Processing time for Tripod High Res Shot, which creates ultra-high-resolution approximately 80 Megapixel images, has also been reduced.

  • Composite processing technology reduces noise by approximately 2 steps for an amazingly high pixel count and low noise.
  • A dedicated button on the camera can be used to quickly switch between normal shooting and Handheld High-Res Shot/Tripod High Res Shot for improved usability.

Live ND
Achieve slow shutter speed effects like those using ND filter up to ND64 (6 steps) (ND2 - ND64). When LV Simulation is activated, you can check the slow shutter speed effects in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor before shooting and achieve the same effects on ultra-wide-angle lenses that cannot accommodate an ND filter.

Live Composite
In this setting, Lighten Composite is used to add only the brighter sections to the composite image to prevent the common problem of images that are too bright overall when shooting long exposures, resulting in beautiful Lighten Composite photos with plenty of variation. This feature is now compatible with image stabilisation and can be used during handheld shooting.

Focus Stacking
This feature alters the focus to capture and composite multiple shots for recording photos that are in focus from the foreground to background. The compositing time has been dramatically reduced for easier usage.

HDR Shooting
Multiple images at differing exposures are merged to create one shot with a wide dynamic range, including highlights and shadows.

Enhanced Video Functions for Creators (10bit 4K 60p, Full HD 240p)

Stable handheld video recording is possible thanks to the compact, lightweight body and industry-leading image stabilisation.

Creative video functions include 4K 60p for smooth, high-definition videos, and high-speed movie with Full HD videos at a maximum 240p. The camera also supports H.264 (8bit), H.265 (10bit), and Multi Frame Rate for recording video clips over 30 minutes in length.

In addition to RAW data output up to 12 bit 4:4:4 to external devices for advanced post-production tasks, the OM SYSTEM OM-1 supports OM-Log for a greater level of freedom over imaging expressions thanks to color grading, which allows users to capture highlights and shadows without overexposing or underexposing shots. The new HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) video picture mode has been added for easier HDR video recording.

Enhanced Dustproof and Splashproof Performance

The dustproof and splashproof performance is achieved by including sealing materials at the appropriate locations on the tough, lightweight magnesium alloy body, ensuring IP53 dustproof and splashproof protection class, and freezeproof performance to -10°C. With its compact and lightweight build, this makes the OM-1 a powerful ally when shooting in punishing environments.

High-speed, High-resolution Electronic Viewfinder

Extra attention has been spent to ensure optimal viewfinder performance, as it affects shooting comfort. The high-performance EVF is equipped with approximately 5.76 million dot resolution, a viewfinder magnification of up to 1.65x, a display delay of just 0.005 seconds, and 120 fps high-speed display performance.

The menu screen configuration has been completely redesigned on the OM SYSTEM OM-1. Items have been split, merged, and reclassified, and descriptions have been simplified to make it easier to find the desired functions, and make changing settings easier for first-time users.
