OM SYSTEM OM-5 Mirrorless Camera (Silver) with 12-45mm f/4.0 PRO Lens

OVERVIEW

Whether you have an OM camera from OM SYSTEM or an Olympus OM-D, PEN or any other compatible camera, you‘ll benefit from all that the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) standard has to offer: a camera system boasting compact size, light weight, more shooting freedom, high image quality and ease of use, to name just a few.

Back to the Basics

The OM-5 is not here to be flashy, steal the show, be in the way of your experience or even try to be the sole reason for your adventure. It is rather like your favourite pair of boots that lead you onto trails unknown; that bag that always has what you need or that friend that helps you see the world in a beautifully different way.

• Less Heft for More Fun:The OM-5 is designed to stay with you but not get in the way of your experience. It is so compact that you can chuck it in your favourite bag or let it dangle unnoticeably on your shoulder until inspiration strikes. It will be ready for your story but won’t be a tiresome load.
• Weather Sealed:The best stories happen through mishaps. It’s time to embrace those moments: the OM-5 features class-leading IP53 dustproof, splashproof, and freezeproof design so you can keep telling that story, like your favorite pair of boots that just keep on going.
• Durable:Noticeably tough. The OM-5 will tackle anything your adventure can throw at it. There’s no bad weather for storytelling.
• Discover:See nature in a new way through computational photography — an ever-expanding photographic journey of discovery.
• Stories:When even pictures cannot do a story justice, turn it into a spectacular movie, worthy of the journey you made.
• 5 Axis Image Stabilization:The OM-5 can stabilize the shakiest of situations with up to 6.5 steps of compensation (or 7.5 with compatible Sync-IS lenses). That makes longer handheld exposures and blur-free telephoto pictures a walk in the park.
• Forget Filters! Get Creative with Live ND:Make the most of moving subjects by changing how you see motion with LiveND. With up to four steps of effect (ND16), you can transform what seems like a seemingly mundane moment into a magical one — even with the widest of lenses.

A Device of Discovery

Technology is only useful if we use it. The OM-5 has everything you need and nothing you don't. While the technology within the camera is impressive, the really exciting part is when it comes together through computational photography and other features.

• Live Composite:Make the darker hours your ally with Live Composite. Effortlessly enter a whole new world of long exposure photography with this computational photography feature. No more accidental over-exposure or guesswork. See light come alive on the screen of your OM-5 and enjoy anything from star trails to magic hour light painting.
• HDR:Capture the full dynamic range of a scene quickly or go beyond your eyes’ natural ability with composite HDR pictures. With multiple levels of effect to choose from, the OM-5 can bracket from 3 to 5 images with varying exposures. It can even process 4 images together in selectable HDR modes.
• Color Creator:Get creative with the Color Creator feature that lets you freely control any scene’s hue and colour saturation to maximize its storytelling impact. Choose which part of the scene you want to highlight, from breathtaking oranges in sunsets to the lush greens of the jungle.
• Art Filter:Explore the world around you through 16 distinct Art Filters. From classic black and white film-style emulations to soft-focus artistic exploration, there’s more than enough to keep you exploring the world in a new way right through the screen or EVF of your OM-5.
• Focus Stacking:Get as close as you want without having to stop down your aperture to keep everything sharp. Choose how deep you want the focus to be and let the camera do the work of combining the images. Whether you’re doing extreme macro or low light landscapes, this feature allows you to maximize your depth of field without resorting to higher ISOs or F-values.
• AF Target Modes:From the need to pinpoint focus on details to fast snaps of moving wildlife, there are six different types of AF target modes to ensure you never miss your moment. Whether you’re a fan of the traditional single-point focusing method or want to create custom AF patterns for a specific purpose, there’s a mode to meet the need.
• Scene Modes:Got a beautiful scene in front of you that you want to capture as faithfully as possible but are not sure where to start? Well, there’s no shame in that. 22 Scene Modes make the OM-5 like that friend who always has just the advice you need. From Beach & Snow, Nature Macro, to Handheld Starlight, there is a prepared preset to set you and your camera up for success.
• Pro Capture:The OM-5 is your personal time machine. Photographing fleeting moments and capturing impossibly fast action is made easy with Pro Capture. Designed to ensure you never miss the decisive moment, Pro Capture continuously adds images to its buffer memory at a maximum of 30 frames per second and at the press of a button, retains the last 14 frames after fully pressing the shutter button. Then simply scroll back like a time machine and pick the perfect moment.

Venture Deeper

No camera can tell the story for you but the right bit of kit in the right situation can make all the difference in getting the shot or coming home empty-handed. But remember, sometimes missing the shot is just the thing you need to be able to make the most of the moment. The choice is yours.

• 4K30:Capture stunning views with a 4K 30p video codec that is easy on the memory card but does not compromise on quality and detail.
• Vertical Video:Capture your stories the way you want to show them. Vertical videos means easy editing and easy sharing on social media platforms, and mobile devices.
• OM-LOG400:Capture the full range of nature's beauty with a filmmaking-specific color grading-friendly picture profile.
