Olympus spreads the 5-axis Image Stabilisation to a broader scale. Olympus has released the fifth model in its award-winning OM-D camera series. The new Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II system camera will appeal to aspiring hobby photographers with a taste for outstanding spontaneous photography, and a sharp eye for distinct design.<\/p>\n
Cool and classically styled with some beautiful switches and dials, the E-M10 Mark II combines a compact all-metal body with some of the most advanced technology from its bigger brothers, the E-M1 and E-M5 Mark II. Thanks to the 5-axis in-body Image Stabilisation it enables blur-free still and movie shooting on the move, even in low light. In addition to a large, high-definition, high-speed OLED Electronic Viewfinder, a tiltable 3-inch touchscreen and 4k time lapse movie capability, it offers image sharing and remote control via Wi-Fi using the Olympus OI.Share app on a smartphone. The compact and lightweight OM-D E-M10 Mark II is compatible with more than 40 Micro Four Thirds lenses and a large selection of optional system accessories.<\/p>\n
The E-M10 Mark II is available in silver or black, and goes on sale in mid-September 2015, as the body-only or with a choice of lenses in a kit (for pricing and availability see below). Alongside the extremely popular, lower priced E-M10 introduced in early 2014, the E-M10 Mark II is the second affordable mirrorless system camera in Olympus\u2019 award-winning OM-D series.<\/p>\n
The E-M10 Mark II offers genuine OM-D imaging power in a remarkably compact, lightweight and classy body, which makes it easy to carry and capture first-class stills and videos on the fly \u2013 no matter where you are or what you\u2019re wearing. For shooting with a large telephoto lens, the optional quick-release camera grip adds another reassuring element of stability.<\/p>\n
But the latest OM-D wasn\u2019t just designed for portability. It\u2019s clearly intended as a design statement in itself. No matter which side of the camera you\u2019re standing, the eye is immediately drawn to the dials, with their glinting chrome and milled edges. Their position on the top right of the body and their extra-tall, chunky dimensions makes them much easier to operate. Together with the retro-styled On\/Off switch and the central finder, the dials and re\u00acassu\u00acringly solid, all-metal build ensure anyone picking up the E-M10 Mark II is likely to look and feel like a serious hobby photographer.<\/p>\n
Good looks are nothing without performance, and the E-M10 Mark II backs up its sleek design with the striking imaging power you\u2019d expect of Olympus\u2019 top-flight camera range, especially on the move or in low light. This is when Olympus\u2019 celebrated 5-axis IS comes into play. It eliminates the blur caused by camera-shake in virtually any shooting situation \u2013 from shift movements with macros to angular shake with telephoto lenses, or rolling at night. 5-axis IS works irrespective of the lens attached and compensates admirably for up to four steps of shutter speed**. Even movies recorded one-handed come out blur-free.<\/p>\n
The E-M10 Mark II has a large, high-speed, 2,360K-dots OLED EVF with an unrivalled 100% field of view, which proves invaluable for framing shots and assessing light in difficult conditions. The EVF displays the full range of manual settings and optional effects in real time to give you full control over the impact of your adjustments. You can fine-tune the Colour Creator, Highlight, Shadow and Aspect Control, or get even more creative by applying one of 14 Art Filters and 9 Art Effects.<\/p>\n
For fast and easy focus adjustment, shooting at awkward angles, or simply reviewing and selecting images to share via Wi-Fi and your smartphone, the OM-D E-M10 Mark II is equipped with a large, 3-inch touchscreen LCD with pad control \u2013 for easy, touch focussing on the LCD while using the EVF. Another highlight of the display is the fingerprint-resistant coating that keeps it free of smears that might otherwise spoil the camera\u2019s handsome looks \u2013 or a slideshow of your best shots.<\/p>\n
To satisfy the creative ambitions of OM-D owners, Olympus offers an ever-expanding family of accessories and more than 40 high-grade Micro Four Thirds lenses that cover the full range, from hobby to pro.<\/p>\n
Like every new Olympus camera, the OM-D E-M10 Mark II comes with a free six-month warranty extension, on top of the statutory warranty in the country of purchase, when registered via the MyOlympus online platform.<\/p>\n
