Newest OM System camera takes high-quality imagery and retains much of what made the original a hit while adding USB-C charging, an updated menu, a computational photography button, and more!

OM System announced the second generation of OM System’s compact, adventure-ready mirrorless camera, the OM System OM-5 Mark II. Retaining much of its predecessor’s build and imaging technology, including its 20.4MP Live MOS Micro-Four-Thirds Sensor and TruePic IX Image Processor, the Mark II sports an improved grip, USB-C power delivery and data connectivity, a dedicated Computational Photography button, new creative shooting modes, new video picture modes, and a simplified, user-friendly menu system. The rugged, IP53-weatherproof camera positions itself to be an ideal choice for high-quality imagery with a light footprint in outdoor, travel, and street applications.

OM-5 Mark II Details and Features

The inclusion of both the USB-C functionality and the new menu system, two of the most requested upgrades, come with the Mark II. The new OM System menu, first introduced in the OM-1 Mark II, is widely regarded as much easier to understand and configure, even for first time users.

Like the OM-3 from earlier this year, the OM-5 Mark II features a Computational Photography button on the camera’s top plate next to the shutter release button. The button gives users direct access to the High-Res Shot, Live ND, Focus Stacking, HDR, and Multiple Exposure modes without having to enter the menu.

The two new creative shooting modes were designed specifically to aid low-light shooters. Night Vision mode brings out the details of a scene shrouded in darkness, clearly displaying both the night sky and the foreground and simplifying composition. The other new mode, Hand Held Assist, allows users to gauge the stability of handheld long exposures in real time.

Also first introduced in the OM-3, the new creative video profiles, OM Cinema 1 and OM Cinema 2, offer a cinematic look to video footage without requiring special processing or grading.

IP53-certified weatherproofing

Don’t let the weather stop you in your tracks. With IP53-certified weather sealing, the camera is safeguarded against dust, rain, and the cold, so you can snap your adventures in any conditions.

Compact & lightweight

At just 418g (with battery and SD card), this camera is the perfect mate for long hikes and remote expeditions—easy to carry, tough enough to handle the bush.

USB charging

Quickly charge on the go with USB-C. This allows you to connect to a powerbank on the fly.

Finally, the new pronounced grip improves ergonomics for a more secure hold. The Mark II only weighs a hair (.1 oz) more than its predecessor, maintaining its lightweight and easy-to-carry form factor.

The OM-5 Mark II will come in three color options: the traditional black and silver bodies, along with a brand-new sand beige paint job. The black and silver editions will also come bundled in kits with two different lenses: the M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm f/4-5.6 PRO Lens and the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 PRO Lens.
