OM SYSTEM PEN Black w/ 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 III Lens Kit

OVERVIEW

Creative Control Anywhere

The OM SYSTEM PEN packs full-featured mirrorless performance into a ultra-compact body. Featuring a high-resolution Micro Four Thirds sensor, rapid autofocus, and built-in creative filters, it makes capturing everyday moments effortless. Whether you are upgrading to your first interchangeable lens camera or looking for a lightweight walkaround option for street scenes and night outings, its unobtrusive design fits seamlessly into your hand for effortless candid shooting.

A Modernized Icon

Continuing a legacy of power and portability that began with the original PEN film camera, the latest PEN uses a Micro Four Thirds mirrorless system to keep both the body and lenses remarkably compact. Compared to full-frame alternatives, it delivers exceptional detail, rich dynamic range, and vibrant colors in a much smaller footprint.

Ultimate Mobility

Engineered to go everywhere, the PEN eliminates the trade-off between bulky camera gear and phone photo limitations. A slim profile and low-profile ergonomic grip ensure it slides easily into a bag or rests comfortably in hand, making all-day carrying on hikes or city walks effortless.

Weather-Resistant & Reliable

When paired with splashproof OM SYSTEM lenses, the camera's IPX1 rating protects against light rain and moisture. A single charge delivers around 400 shots, giving you enough power to shoot all day without carrying extra batteries.

Accessible Performance for All Skill Levels

In-body image stabilization, precise autofocus, and intuitive scene presets help beginners take sharp photos right away. The larger sensor and interchangeable lens system yield strong low-light performance and pleasing background blur, while straightforward menus and physical controls keep setup quick and simple.

Advanced features expand your creative options as your skills develop:

30 fps Continuous Shooting: Capture fast action, from sports to wildlife.
Focus Stacking & HDR: Compose detailed landscapes and night scenes directly in-camera.
Multiple Exposures: Layer images together creatively without needing editing software.

Customizable Profiles

Switch instantly between distinct color and monochrome profiles using the profile control menu. Adjust settings like color response, tone curves, and sharpness to establish presets for different scenes, significantly reducing the need for post-processing. A dedicated control switch lets you toggle between your custom looks seamlessly without taking your eye off the action or navigating menus.

For instant creative looks without editing, the camera includes a diverse collection of built-in Art Filters. Transition quickly from high-contrast grainy black-and-white street shots to soft portrait styles, or apply a miniature tilt-shift effect to video clips at the touch of a button. Available filters feature Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pale & Light Color, Light Tone, Grainy Film, Pin Hole, Diorama, Cross Process, Gentle Sepia, Dramatic Tone, Key Line, Watercolor, Vintage, Partial Color across 18 shades, Bleach Bypass, and Instant Film.

Mobile Video Capabilities

When video is needed to tell the complete story, the camera's compact size and advanced features make recording travel vlogs, family memories, or social media content simple. Dedicated Face and Eye AF with human and animal detection maintains sharp focus on your subjects, even during selfie-style recording. When using manual focus for a more cinematic approach, built-in focus peaking and frame magnification help ensure exact precision.

Advanced video options include recording in OM-Log400 with 4:2:2 8-bit color depth, providing greater dynamic range and latitude for color grading with minimal color banding.

An integrated 3.5mm microphone jack captures clean 24-bit audio directly to the video file, streamlining your post-production workflow. The camera can also connect via USB-C to function as a high-quality webcam for livestreams and virtual meetings.

With support for crisp 4K recording at 24 fps and high-frame-rate capture up to 120 fps for ultra-smooth slow motion, it delivers complete production versatility in a pocket-sized form factor.

OM Image Share Integration

Connect to the OM Image Share smartphone app for full remote camera operation. Adjust settings and trigger the shutter with a real-time Live View preview on your phone screen, or use the basic wireless shutter mode to save battery. The app enables fast image transfers and basic editing directly on your mobile device, letting you upload and share photos immediately.

You can also design, save, and share custom editing profiles within the app to build a unified visual style or collaborate with other creators. When connected, the app syncs GPS data to geotag your photos, creating an accurate log of your shooting locations.
