It would take a series of videos to tell you everything about this camera - and that's already been done. Aside from the great reputation for quality craftsmanship that Olympus has always had, this camera weighs in at 1.09lb (0.49 kg) compared to the Nikon D810's 1.94lb (0.88 kg). As the flagship Micro Four Thirds camera, the E-M1 is the peak of the Olympus digital imaging system. It is a true system camera for those who demand the best in cameras, lenses, and image quality. Darrell Youngs Mastering the Olympus OM-D E-M1 explores the features and capabilities of the camera in a way that far surpasses the users manual.

The beefy Micro Four Thirds shooter sports a high-speed 60fps Raw capture mode, a high-resolution multi-exposure capture setting, and an in-body stabilization system that steadies both images and 4K video. It's an excellent camera, especially if you place an emphasis on video capture, but not a perfect one. Its tracking focus struggles at its quickest standard burst rate, and its image sensor lags behind APS-C competitors in resolution and high ISO performance. Our Editors' Choice for high-end mirrorless cameras, the Fujifilm X-T2 $ at AmazonOpens in a new window , doesn't have quite as an impressive spec list, but delivers a more satisfying photographic experience. Design and Controls The E-M1 Mark II $1, at AmazonOpens in a new window is styled like a sized-down SLR, complete with an array of dials and switches, and an eye-level electronic viewfinder. It measures by by inches HWD and weighs pounds without a lens. It's available in black only, and the body is sealed to protect it from dust and moisture. You'll need to pair it with a sealed lens, like the new ED 25mm PRO $1, at AmazonOpens in a new window , in order to safely use it in inclement conditions. Similar Products The E-M1 Mark II has a deeper handgrip than many mirrorless cameras, more in line with the size of a midrange SLR. There's an indentation for your middle finger, which made the E-M1 a very natural fit in my hands. A vertical shooting grip, the HLD-9 Power Batter Grip $249, is an optional add-on. It houses one additional battery, but doesn't do anything to boost camera performance like the X-T2's add-on grip. Olympus has stuffed a large amount of buttons and dials onto the E-M1's surface. There are two buttons to the right of the lens mount, accessible using your right hand when holding the grip. They are both customizable, with default settings configured to One Touch White Balance and Depth of Field Preview. The only other button on the front is the lens release, located to the left of the mount. The On/Off switch sits on the top plate, to the left of the hot shoe. The body omits a built-in flash, but a small FL-LM3 flash is included in the box, sliding into the hot shoe when needed. It offers modest power GN 30', but can cover a 12mm angle 24mm full-frame equivalent and features 90-degree tilt and 180-degree rotation adjustment. The flash is powered by the camera body. Next to the On/Off toggle, atop a raised circular protrusion, are buttons that control the Drive Mode and autofocus system. The Drive button works with the E-M1's dual control dials on the right side of the top plate, at the rear and on top of the grip to adjust in-camera HDR settings and to choose from the numerous continuous and delayed shooting settings that are available. The AF button uses the front dial to adjust scene metering and the rear to change between single, continuous, or manual focus, as well as tracking options and a preset manual focus distance setting. In addition to the standard metering patterns, the E-M1 includes Spot Highlight and Spot Shadow settings. They're useful for tricky scenes, but aren't recommend for general use—it's easy to blow out a scene by metering on the wrong part of an image using Spot Highlight, or to lose detail in the shadows by doing the same in Spot Shadow. The idea is that you'll use Spot Highlight to meter on the brightest part of a scene in order to ensure that highlights aren't clipped, and Spot Shadow to meter on the darkest area to ensure that shadow detail is preserved. You'll either need to center those parts of the frame in your photo, or use the modes in conjunction with the rear AEL/AFL button to lock in exposure. Neither mode is as useful as the Highlight Priority option that Nikon includes in some of its SLRs, including the D810 $1, at AmazonOpens in a new window , which analyzes the entire scene and ensures that highlights won't be clipped. The E-M1 uses a Mode dial to set shooting controls, in contrast to the discrete shutter, aperture, and ISO dials used by the Fujifilm X-T2. It sits to the right of the hot shoe and incorporates a locking design. The lock is a toggle that engages or disengages with the click of its center button, so you don't need to hold down a button while turning it. Front and rear control dials rest in the usual places, accessible via your right hand. Fn2, a programmable button that adjusts highlight and shadow curves by default, and the Record button for movies sit in between them. The Fn1 button, which changes the active focus area in conjunction with the front and rear dials, is at an angle at the right rear corner, not quite on the top plate, but not on the rear of the camera either. A toggle button to change between the rear LCD, EVF, or automatically switch using the eye sensor sits to the left of the eyecup, near the top of the rear plate. A small diopter control is nestled into the eyecup itself, on its left side. Rear shooting controls are confined to the right side. There's the 1/2 switch that changes between the primary aperture, shutter, and EV control, depending on the shooting mode and secondary ISO and white balance functions of the front and rear control dials. At its center is the AEL/AFL button—by default it enables exposure lock only, but you can configure its function. Other rear controls include Info, Menu, Play, and Delete buttons, as well as a four-way control pad with a center OK button. Pressing OK launches an on-screen bank of additional options. These include ISO, white balance, color output, image stabilization, drive, metering, image and video quality, and button remapping. The latter is a big plus, as diving into the E-M1's full, multi-page menu to change button settings is daunting—the camera does so much that it's often difficult to locate a particular setting. The rear LCD is an ample 3 inches in size, with a sharp 1,037k-dot design. It offers excellent brightness and viewing angles, and features a vari-angle design. It swings out from the body, turning to face all the way forward through all the way down, and can fold flat against the rear to protect the screen during transit. Touch functionality is robust. You can tap on an area of the frame to set focus or to focus and fire the shutter. When reviewing images the screen allows you to swipe to navigate through photos and to double tap to zoom in on a shot. Additionally, you can drag your finger across the screen to move the focus point when shooting with the EVF. The EVF is a crisp 2,360k-dot OLED design. It's a little small for a camera of this class, with a magnification ratio of which is just a little bit larger than the optical finder you get with a midrange SLR like the Nikon D7200 $1, at AmazonOpens in a new window . The Fujifilm X-T2 sports a EVF, which is just a smidgen bigger than the OVF used by the top-end Canon EOS-1D X Mark II $4, at AmazonOpens in a new window . Despite its small size, the EVF is quite responsive—it refreshes at 120fps, so you can better use it to track action. That's twice as fast as the X-T2 in standard mode, and a bit faster than the 100fps that the X-T2 manages when shooting in Boost mode with its add-on grip. Additional Features, Wi-Fi, and Connections Olympus includes a number of additional shooting modes with the E-M1 that extend its capabilities beyond that of a simple camera. In-camera HDR imaging is included to capture photos that show more detail in the shadows and highlights than most images can manage. There are also Live Bulb and Live Composite modes that show your long exposure changing before your eyes—you can cut off the exposure at any time in either mode. A special high-resolution capture mode utilizes the sensor shift stabilization system to oversample photos, capturing Raw images at 80MP and JPGs at 50MP. The nature of multi-image capture calls for a static subject and a sturdy tripod, but the camera is capable of removing blur that would otherwise be apparent when shooting landscapes with wind-blown grass or flowing water. We looked at the High Res Shot mode in depth when we covered the first camera to support the feature, the E-M5 Mark II $ at AmazonOpens in a new window . The E-M1 Mark II features integrated Wi-Fi, which should come as no surprise—it's a standard feature at this point. Android and iOS users can download the free Olympus Image Share app to copy photos wirelessly, or to use a phone or tablet as a remote control for the E-M1. Full manual exposure control is available, and you can tap on any area of the live feed to set the active focus point. Like most pro-grade cameras, the E-M1 Mark II features dual memory card slots, accessible via a door on the right side. Each slot supports SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory, but only Slot 1 is able to take advantage of the latest high-speed UHS-II memory cards. This is in contrast to the Fujifilm X-T2, which has dual UHS-II slots. If you're shooting at a high burst rate, the camera will take a longer time to write files to Slot 2 than it will Slot 1, even if you use the fastest memory available. The E-M1 has a number of ports, including PC Sync to connect a studio flash system, a jack for a wired remote control, two jacks for headphone and microphone, micro HDMI, and USB-C In-camera charging isn't supported; a dedicated battery charger, with a detachable plug, is included. The charger has the brightest green charging indicator I've ever seen. It lit up the living room of my apartment like a nightlight, and when I was traveling with the E-M1 I had to use an outlet in the hotel bathroom in order to stop it from brightening the room to the point where my sleep would be disturbed. If it bothers you, invest in some gaffer tape to cover the light. CIPA rates the battery for 440 shots per charge. Performance and Autofocus The E-M1 Mark II is powered by a quad-core processor, and it certainly shows it. It starts, focuses, and fires in a good mark for any mirrorless camera. Focus speed is lighting fast, about in bright light and in very dim light. The autofocus system is matched with an incredible burst rate. The E-M1 shoots at using its mechanical shutter. It keeps that rate up to 54 Raw+JPG, 73 Raw, or 108 JPG shots before pausing. I tested with a SanDisk 280MBps memory card in the UHS-II slot and had to wait seconds, seconds, and seconds, respectively, for all files to be committed to the card. See How We Test Digital Cameras There's also a fully electronic shutter option. Using the e-shutter boosts the AF-C speed to 18fps at maximum and the AF-S speed to a blistering 60fps. It can only keep the 60fps rate up for a short duration—roughly 45 shots, regardless of file format—and requires similar time to clear the buffer to card as with 15fps capture. There's an additional 60fps capture mode, dubbed Pro Capture, that starts to buffer shots when you press the shutter release halfway down to engage autofocus. It has a configurable frame rate—15, 20, 30, or 60fps—and can buffer up to 14 shots. It's a good tool for capturing the perfect moment of action, but because it fires so quickly and utilizes the electronic shutter, you can't utilize a flash. It's best used for brightly lit outdoor scenes in order to get a crisp shot that freezes fast motion. The E-M1 is supposed to be able to track subjects and keep them in focus at 18fps. And, depending on what you're shooting, you may be happy with the results at that speed. If your subject is moving left to right, without a lot of motion toward the front of the camera, it does so with great confidence and a solid hit rate. But the camera struggled in our back-and-forth continuous autofocus test, netting out-of-focus results as our test target moved toward and away from the lens, even after setting the focus system to prioritize . Dropping the burst rate to the the low setting—still a blistering 10fps—netted crisply focused shots. Tracking at 10fps is no small feat. It's slightly quicker than what the Fuji X-T2 can manage with its Booster Grip and is in line with top-end APS-C SLRs like the Nikon D500 $2, at AmazonOpens in a new window and Canon EOS 7D Mark II $1, at DellOpens in a new window . But both the X-T2 and D500 have focus systems that offer a bit more coverage at the edges of the frame—the E-M1's focus area is surrounded by a border on all sides that lacks focus capability. I would prefer if the camera limited its speed to a rate that could net consistently focused images when set to C-AF or C-AF with Tracking. Image and Video Quality The E-M1 uses a 20MP Micro Four Thirds image sensor, physically smaller than the APS-C sensors used by competing models like the Sony Alpha 6500 and Fujifilm X-T2, with a 43 native aspect ratio rather than the more common 32. Like the Alpha 6500, the E-M1's sensor is stabilized using a five-axis in-body system, a feature that the Fujifilm X-T2 doesn't offer. It ensures that any lens you attach benefits from stabilization, and works in conjunction with lenses with their own stabilization system, including the Olympus ED 300mm IS PRO $2, at AmazonOpens in a new window , to provide more steadying than either lens or camera could provide on its own. I used ImatestOpens in a new window to check image noise at each full-stop ISO setting. When shooting JPGs at default settings, the E-M1 keeps noise under percent from its base ISO 200 sensitivity through ISO 6400. Image quality isn't perfect when pushing the camera that far. It does a fine job capturing minute details in our test image through ISO 800, and shows very slight blur at ISO 1600. The blur is slightly more noticeable at ISO 3200, and details smudge together at ISO 6400. JPG images start to show significant blur at ISO 12800, and you should avoid shooting JPGs at ISO 25600. This is where the X-T2's larger, 24MP image sensor has an advantage—it delivers noticeably crisper results at ISO 12800 and 25600. You can opt to shoot in Raw format to eke more detail out of the sensor. In-camera noise reduction isn't applied to Raw images—our standard Raw converter, Lightroom CC $ at AdobeOpens in a new window , does apply some color noise reduction, but we use standard settings for every tested camera to put them on equal footing. The E-M1 Mark II does a fine job with image detail through ISO 3200, but it does show more grainy noise at that sensitivity than the X-T2. Noise becomes more of an issue at ISO 6400, where it detracts from fine detail, while the X-T2 again wins out. At ISO 12800 images are very grainy, but detail remains strong, while the amount of noise at ISO 25600 really detracts from an image. Again the X-T2 betters the E-M1 Mark II at these extreme ISO settings. Where the E-M1 Mark II outperforms the X-T2 is in video. Both shoot in 4K, but the Olympus doesn't show any sort of rolling shutter effect when panning, and its in-body stabilization is a big plus for handheld capture. It can shoot at 24, 25, or 30fps in 4K UHD with a 102Mbps compression rate, and supports 1080p capture with a stunning 202Mbps All-Intra compression scheme at the same frame rates. To add 50 or 60fps options you need to drop the 1080p capture rate to a more pedestrian 52Mbps bit rate. The highest bit rate video is the Cinema 4K setting, which shoots in DCI resolution at 24fps with a 236Mbps bit rate. It's not as robust a video toolkit as Panasonic's competing Micro Four Thirds model, the GH5, but it's a solid option for any enthusiast and certain types of professional use. The internal mic is just like any other—it picks up the sound of my voice, albeit with a hollow sound and loads of background noise. For serious work, connect an external microphone, and utilize the headphone jack for monitoring levels. The autofocus system in video delivers smooth, slow racks, without any hunting back and forth, allowing you to concentrate on getting the shot rather than manually pulling focus. Conclusions The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II packs more technical bells and whistles into its small frame than any other mirrorless camera we've seen. It has a blisteringly fast maximum Raw capture rate, even though it's very limited in duration, and a solid buffer for shooting at a more reasonable 15fps when utilizing the mechanical shutter. Subject tracking doesn't work well when shooting at the fastest speeds, but it does a solid job keeping track of moving targets at 10fps—better than most cameras out there. Add 4K video in both UHD and DCI formats, in-body stabilization, an all-weather build, and access to the expansive Micro Four Thirds lens system, and you've got a powerhouse. But at $2,000, it's one of the priciest cameras out there, not counting those with larger full-frame image sensors, and it's sadly the Micro Four Thirds sensor that holds it back in terms of image quality. The E-M1 Mark II falls short of the clarity and high ISO performance delivered by competing 24MP APS-C models, including our Editors' Choice Fujifilm X-T2, which also has an advantage in price, selling for $400 less. If you're looking for a serious mirrorless camera for shooting fast-moving action, it's our top pick. But if you're already invested in Micro Four Thirds, rest assured that the E-M1 Mark II is best, most capable, member of the system we've tested to date. It simply faces some very stiff competition at the top end of the market. Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II Pros Up to 60fps Raw capture. In-body stabilization. Large, sharp EVF.

TechRadar Verdict With an expanded AF system, a fully customizable interface, solid video features and higher-res sensor, the OM-D E-M1 Mark II is Olympus' most impressive and feature-complete camera yet. Pros +Unshakable image stabilization+Bulletproof weather-sealing+Laser-accurate autofocus Cons -Pricey compared to rivals -Dense menu systems-As expensive as some full-frame cameras, or more so Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test. The OM-D E-M1 has always represented the pinnacle of Olympus’ Micro Four Thirds portfolio. In fact, it was the first camera from the company that came with phase detection autofocus, an antialiasing filter-less sensor, focus peaking and higher frame rates to in the three years since its introduction other cameras have risen to prominence. The Panasonic Lumix GH4 has gained a foothold in the video sector, while Sony has impressed us with the A6000-line’s laser-quick AF, as well as introducing the A7 range of full-frame mirrorless cameras. Then there’s Fujifilm, which along with the X-T2 is our favorite mirrorless camera to with the OM-D E-M1 Mark II, Olympus is attempting to even the odds. The result is a completely overhauled camera with a higher-resolution sensor, greatly improved 121-point cross-type AF system, and enhanced in-body image stabilization, plus 4K video and Olympus' best video-shooting features to date. These improvements come with a necessarily higher $1,999 or £1,849 about AU$2,610 price tag for the camera body alone, whereas the first OM-D E-M1 originally retailed for $1,399 £1,299, AU$1,599. Pre-order the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II from for $1,999While it’s an unattractive price point for the enthusiast/casual photographers Olympus usually attracts, it’s clear the company aims to cater to the needs of professional photographers with this fully featured camera and a growing line of Pro lenses – several of which were announced alongside the initial debut of the E-M1 Mark megapixel Live MOS MFT sensor3-inch 1,037K dot tilt-angle dot EVF magnificationCinema 4KThe OM-D E-M1 Mark II is the second camera to feature Olympus’ new sensor since its debut in the Pen-F. While the resolution is the same, Olympus has tweaked the image sensor for better noise reduction as well as now incorporating 121 cross-type 121 cross-type AF on-chip phase detection points spread across the entire company claims the autofocus system is completely new and programmed with a new algorithm tuned for better tracking. Overall we find the Mark II to be even more accurate and faster than ever when it comes to autofocusing – and speediness really is one word to describe the new higher-resolution dot EVF now operates at a maximum 120 frames per second with a delay of only 5ms. This upgraded viewfinder pairs well with the 30% reduced shutter lag, and with Olympus' new ProCapture mode, which is designed to capture split-second course, if you want to slow things down the OM-D E-M1 II can oblige there as well. Its enhanced on-sensor image stabilization system now offers stops of shake OM-D E-M1 Mark II is also Olympus' first camera to offer 4K UHD 3840 x 2160 video recording at 30, 25 or 24fps. What’s more, the Japanese camera company is leapfrogging over Sony and Panasonic by being the first to introduce Cinema 4K, which captures 4096 x 2060 pixel footage – a slightly wider aspect ratio than the traditional 169 frame – at a bitrate of up to best mirrorless cameras Current page Introduction and features Next Page Build, handling and autofocus Phil Hall is an experienced writer and editor having worked on some of the largest photography magazines in the UK, and now edit the photography channel of TechRadar, the UK's biggest tech website and one of the largest in the world.
