Product details

Fast and powerful:Unmatched speed of continuous shooting: Take significantly better continuous shooting shots than with SLR cameras. The E-M1 Mark II offers unmatched performance in AF/AE tracking mode
at full resolution of 20.4 megapixels.
Thanks to parallel image processing, even fast-moving subjects with up to 60 images per second can be displayed with pin-sharp clarity.

Continuous autofocus:Continuous autofocus (C-AF) allows you to shoot continuously and comfortably. The AF/AE tracking function tracks the subject for you, so you can have up to 18 frames per second when you choose to shoot.
All images are taken in RAW format with full resolution.

Single autofocus:Select when you want to use continuous shooting with simple autofocus (S-AF). As long as the AF/AE memory remains activated, the E-M1 Mark II takes up to 60 frames per second while you follow a fast moving subject with the electronic viewfinder.
All images are taken in RAW format with full resolution.

Pro Capture:Pro Capture starts when you press the shutter release button halfway down, and runs on a buffer that can be set to up to 14 full resolution images. Pressing the shutter-release button all the way down will begin continuous shooting.
With up to 14 previous images available, you can shoot just the right moment without delay.

Precision and functionality:The high-speed auto-focus system of the E-M1 Mark II enables precise recording of events that take place within a few seconds.
With numerous advanced features, you'll always have a clear view of your subject.

121 focal points of the cross sensor type:The more the better - this applies in particular to the reliable determination of data.
For this reason, the E-M1 Mark II's on-chip phase recognition autofocus operates with no less than 121 cross-eye focal points.

OM-D 4K video recording:Thanks to its compatibility with 4K (3840 x 2160) and C4K (4096 x 2160), the E-M1 Mark II is also ideal for authentic film productions.
With an option for 30P or 24P frame rate and a maximum bit rate of 237 Mbps, you can record in the 4K Digital Cinema standard.

5-axis image stabilization:The image stabilization mechanism has been redesigned exclusively for the E-M1 Mark II and offers compensation of up to 6.5 EV steps to compensate for camera shake.
This revolutionary image stabilization system is now the perfect complement to the E-M1 Mark II's video features and allows you to shoot hands-free photos even in poor light conditions and even hands-free videos.

20.4M Live MOS Sensor:This new high-speed sensor with low power consumption and optimized pixel structure provides a particularly high image quality even when shooting with high sensitivity. The new AR-coating prevents ghost effects and reflections on the sensor side. High-resolution 50M images are available for an even higher resolution:
Eight images are combined to form a high-resolution image with a resolution of 50 million pixels.

    Wer nicht auf den Sucher verzichten will, kann zur aktuellen OM-D E-M1 Mark III (siehe ausführlichen Test in fM 11/17 und auf www.fotoMAGAZIN.de) oder zur immer noch erhältlichen Vorgängerin E-M1 Mark II greifen. Wie die E-PL10 nutzen beide OM-Ds noch den älteren 16-Megapixel-Sensor und erzielen bei der Bildqualität ähnliche Ergebnisse...
