OM SYSTEM OM-1 Camera

The IP53 rating means the camera is protected against dust ingress and spraying water, making it significantly more durable than standard weather-sealed cameras. You can confidently use it in light rain or dusty environments without needing a protective cover, though it should not be submerged in water.

The 50 fps blackout-free burst shooting allows you to capture split-second action in sports or wildlife photography without the viewfinder flickering. Because this generates a high volume of images, you will need fast, high-capacity UHS-II SD cards and a robust post-processing workflow to manage the file count.

While smaller than full-frame sensors, the OM-1 uses a stacked BSI sensor and the TruePic X processor to significantly improve high-ISO performance and dynamic range. Combined with the 5-axis in-body image stabilization, you can shoot at slower shutter speeds handheld, which often compensates for the sensor size in low-light conditions.

These modes, such as Live ND and Focus Stacking, allow you to achieve effects in-camera that typically require external filters or complex post-production software. They are particularly useful for landscape and macro photographers who want to streamline their process while out in the field.

Yes, the OM-1 uses the Micro Four Thirds lens mount, which is fully compatible with all existing Olympus and OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko lenses. You can seamlessly integrate this body into your current kit without needing to replace your glass.

The OM-1 uses the BLX-1 battery, which is designed to handle the power demands of the high-speed processor and computational features. For a full day of heavy shooting, especially if you utilize the burst modes frequently, carrying a spare battery is recommended.
