This powerful yet portable camera body offers expanded features that will inspire your creative shooting, including computational photography features like the 50MP Handheld High Res Shot and Live ND for bringing your vision to life. Plus, enjoy the convenience of vertical video playback on smartphones.
The OM-5 combines the power of in-body 5-axis image stabilisation with lightweight M.Zuiko Digital lenses to produce exceptional image quality, making it the ideal camera for all your outdoor adventures. Capture stunning images anytime, anywhere, in any environment with the OM System OM-5.
Compact, Lightweight Body with 5-axis Image Stabilisation
Measuring just 125.3 x 85.2 x 49.7 mm (WHD) and weighing only 366 g (camera body only), the OM-5 packs a punch in a compact package. Its 5-axis Image Stabilisation delivers up to 6.5 shutter speed steps2 of stabilisation, which expands to 7.5 steps4 when paired with a compatible lens3, thanks to 5-axis sync IS. Say goodbye to blurry shots and embrace the freedom to shoot photos with slow shutter speed effects, even in areas where a tripod cannot be used. With the renowned 20.37 million effective pixel5 Live MOS sensor and TruePic IX image processing engine, this model produces images with natural gradations, minimal noise, and exceptional quality, even at high-sensitivity settings.
The OM System OM-5 features a 121-point all cross-type On-chip Phase Detection AF sensor, allowing for precise focusing across the frame and giving you freedom over framing and high precision focusing. Astrophotography is now made easy with the Starry Sky AF, which delivers high-precision autofocusing, something that was previously considered difficult.
Enhanced Durability with IP53 Protection Class Weather Sealing
Equipped with sealing throughout, the OM System OM-5 offers IP531 protection class dustproof and splashproof performance, along with freezeproof protection down to -10°C. This level of weather resistance is the same as the OM SYSTEM OM-1 flagship model, providing ultimate protection during sudden rain showers, snowy conditions, or water droplets. Change lenses with confidence thanks to the SSWF (Supersonic Wave Filter), which significantly reduces dust and dirt issues on the image sensor, making it perfect for active shooting and those who need to change lenses outdoors. It even comes with a compact BLS-50 battery and a bundled USB-AC adapter for convenient in-camera charging.
Versatile Computational Photography That Adapts To Your Needs
The OM-5 is equipped with advanced computational photography features that bring convenience and versatility to your creative endeavours. Easily capture photos that would typically require special equipment or image editing software. Get more inspired to shoot creatively with features like High Res Shot and Live ND.
Capture Stunning Detail with High-Resolution Shot
The OM System OM-5 supports Handheld High-Res Shot, an innovative feature that merges multiple images to produce exceptional 50 Megapixel high-resolution images. With the Handheld High-Res Shot, you can enjoy the freedom of hand-held shooting from nearly any angle while still capturing images with breathtaking details. By merging images, the resolution is enhanced and noise is minimised, resulting in stunningly clear and vibrant pictures. And that's not all—the popular Tripod High-Res Shot is also included, offering even more versatility.
Live ND For Stunning Slow Shutter Speed Effects
With the OM-5, you can achieve the mesmerising effects of a slow shutter speed with the convenience of an ND filter, up to ND16 (4 shutter speed steps). This feature can now produce stunning slow shutter speed effects even on ultra-wide-angle lenses that cannot accommodate an ND filter. Plus, you can preview the effects in real-time through the viewfinder or the LCD monitor when LV Simulation is activated.
Never Miss a Moment with Pro Caputre
Pro Caputre is another great camera feature on the OM-5 that starts recording as soon as you press the shutter button halfway, ensuring you never miss a precious moment due to human reaction time or camera operation lag. With high-speed sequential shooting of up to 30 fps (AF/AE locked), you can capture up to 14 previous frames.
Control Depth Of Field With Focus Stacking
Focus Stacking3 captures eight shots at different focal positions and automatically merges them into a single image. The result? The ability to incorporate stunning background defocusing effects without having to stop down the aperture excessively to control the depth of field that matches the subject. It is particularly useful for macro photography, allowing you to achieve exceptional depth of field control that perfectly complements your subject.
Live Composite
The Live Composite feature in the OM System OM-5 lets you capture breathtaking shots while watching the image build-up in real-time on the Live View screen. Even in challenging exposure situations, such as shooting a cityscape against a starry sky, Live Composite ensures stunning and varied results. Say goodbye to exposure limitations and embrace the freedom to create awe-inspiring images.
Perfect Your Perspective with Keystone Compensation
Similar to shooting with a shift lens, this feature allows you to view the effects on the Live View screen while using vertical/horizontal simultaneous trapezoidal compensation and perspective enhancement. Keystone Compensation puts the power of professional-grade perspective control at your fingertips.
The OM System OM-5 comes packed with a host of other advanced features to further enhance your creative journey. From the Live Bulb that allows you to capture the perfect long-exposure shot to the Interval Shooting/Time Lapse Movie for dramatic time-lapse videos, this camera is designed to empower your artistic vision. Explore the possibilities with Focus Bracketing, HDR, Colour Creator, Art Filter, and Fisheye Compensation.
High-Quality 4K Hand-held Video Recording and Vertical Video
Experience the power of high-quality 4K hand-held video recording with the OM System OM-5. With the in-body 5-axis image stabilisation, coupled with the dedicated video electronic stabilisation, you can record stable, handheld 4K videos without time limits. The camera uses On-chip Phase Detection AF sensor information for precise video focusing control, resulting in seamless and accurate focus tracking. With OM-Log support, you have the freedom to edit your footage with enhanced colour grading options, capturing highlights and shadows with precision. And for social media enthusiasts, vertical video recording is supported, making it effortless to share your content online without the need for additional editing software.
Additionally, users can also connect the high-res LS-P5 linear PCM recorder for capturing high-quality audio while recording videos. The Slate Tone feature also ensures easy audio data synchronisation while editing, providing a comprehensive and professional video production experience.
