Performance & Imaging

20.4MP Live MOS Sensor + TruePic IX Processor
Delivers sharp, detailed images with a fast ISO range up to 25600. Supports 4K video and rapid 30 fps continuous shooting in Pro Capture mode, which begins capturing frames before the shutter is fully pressed.

121-Point Cross-Type Phase Detection AF
Dual 121-point phase and contrast-detection autofocus ensures quick and accurate focusing. All phase-detection points are cross-type for precision in mixed lighting, with dedicated modes for face/eye detection, wildlife, and astrophotography (Starry Sky AF).

5-Axis In-Body Image Stabilization
Reduces camera shake by up to 6.5 stops (7.5 stops with compatible lenses), enhancing handheld performance for telephoto, macro, and long-exposure shots. Supports High-Res Shot and Hand Held Assist modes.

4K Video + OM-Log400
Capture DCI (4096 x 2160) and UHD (3840 x 2160) 4K at up to 30p with audio via built-in or external mic. A front tally lamp and LCD recording frame ensure clear indication during capture. Also supports time-lapse and UVC/UAC webcam functionality.

Creative Modes

• Live ND 16 simulates neutral density filters for blurred motion effects in a single frame.

OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 PRO Lens

Compact. Sharp. Weather-Resistant.

Designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless systems, the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 PRO offers a versatile 24–90mm equivalent focal range in a slim, lightweight build. With a constant f/4 aperture, it delivers consistent brightness throughout the zoom range—ideal for everyday shooting without the bulk.

The lens incorporates a range of advanced optical elements to minimize chromatic aberration, distortion, and ghosting. Its precision-engineered optics are coated with ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) technology to reduce flare and enhance contrast—even in bright or backlit scenes.

Key Features

• Versatile Zoom Range
  Covers wide-angle to portrait perspectives (24–90mm equivalent), making it suitable for landscapes, street photography, portraits, and more.

• Constant f/4 Aperture
  Maintains a fixed maximum aperture throughout the zoom range for consistent exposure and a compact form factor.

• Advanced Optical Design
  Includes:

  • 2 Aspherical elements

  • 1 Dual Super Aspherical (DSA) element

  • 2 Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements

  • 1 Super High Refractive Index (Super HR) element

  • 2 High Refractive Index (HR) elements
    These help reduce spherical aberrations, color fringing, and distortion—resulting in sharp, color-accurate imagery.

• ZERO Coating
  Applied to lens elements to suppress lens flare and ghosting, improving image contrast and clarity in difficult lighting.

• Fast, Silent Autofocus
  The Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system ensures quick, smooth, and virtually silent operation—ideal for both photography and video work.

• Close Focusing Performance
  Focus as close as 4.7" at the wide end and 9.1" at the telephoto end, with a maximum 0.25x magnification ratio—great for capturing fine details and small subjects.

• Built to Withstand the Elements
  The dustproof, freezeproof, and drip-resistant construction ensures reliable performance in challenging environments.

• Smooth Bokeh
  A rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces pleasing background blur for more artistic rendering in shallow depth-of-field shots.
