Portability

Weathersealed

Portability is essential for all adventurers, who take all efforts to get the image. The OM-1 offers, together with

the M.Zuiko lenses, an unrivaled portability, as it produces the highest image quality in a small and light-

weight body. Compared to 35mm camera the equivalent lenses are much smaller and lighter. This gives you

the possibility of agile handheld shooting even with long tele lenses and allows photographers to take advan-

tage of the mobility of the system

Carrying lighter gear gives you more energy. More shooting exibility. More ways to express yourself. You’re

free to shoot longer so you can nail the best shot and enjoy your photography more.

When you call nature your

home and you are shooting

in the wild it is essential that

your camera can withstand

all natural forces. The

OM-1 is sealed with cast

rings to ensure an IP53

dustproof and splashproof

performance to give you the

condence that you can take

your photos in the roughest

conditions.

Modes

PASM

The mode dial is the main control of

your camera and denes in which

shooting mode you are working. Here

you can decide how your camera

should work and support your

shooting style. Decide whether you

would like to work in fully automatic

mode or completely manual.

P Mode

S Mode

Use the P mode when you would like

to let the camera decide on aperture

and exposure time. However, you

have always the option to overrule

the settings.

Use S mode when you would like to

control the shutter speed in case you

are shooting fast moving object. You

don’t have to worry about the aperture

as the camera is choosing the one tting

to your shutter speed.

OM-1 Quick Guide 9

Modes

M Mode

B Mode

For total control choose the M Mode.

In this mode you select shutter speed

and aperture as you want. The OM-1

shows in the viewnder and / or monitor

how the exposure of the nal image will

look like, that you are able to control the

result before you take the image.

The B Mode gives a quick and easy

access to the “Live Modes“:The camera

shows you how the images develops

and you can stop exposure as soon as

it is well exposed.

“Live Composite” only adds com-

posites of the sections with changes in

brightness.

“Live Bulb” keeps the shutter open

while the shutter release button is

pressed.

“Live Time” opens the shutter on the

rst push and closes it on the second

push of the shutter release button.

Modes

C1 // Birds in Flight

C2 // Pro Capture

Taking images from birds in ight is

quite challenging. This mode allows

you to revisit the necessary settings on

the spot, that you never miss a shot in

future.

Pro Capture starts shooting the

moment you press the shutter release

button down halfway, with a buffer that

can be set to capture up to 70 frames

in full resolution. This way you get the

exact moment you want to capture

without any lag.

Modes

C3 // Macro

C4 // Landscape

Macro photography does have its own

challenges. The OM-1 is perfectly pre-

pared to support you as much as pos-

sible with special functionalities tailor

made for macro photography

Even though landscape photography

is more relaxing, it is helpful to have all

settings saved in one place. This helps

you to concentrate on composing the

image rather than thinking about the

settings.

Auto Focus

1053 point all Cross Quad Pixel AF

Full Customizable AF

AI Detection AF

The more autofocus tracking points, the better. That’s

why the OM-1 has 1,053 point all Cross Quad Pixel AF

for high-precision focusing. Every point is cross-type,

enabling detection of vertical and horizontal lines for

unmatched accuracy. It covers 100% of the image

area and gives you more freedom to decide where

to focus. It’s advanced autofocusing technology that

ensures you’ll capture it all, anytime, anywhere.

AF customization makes it possible to individually set

the AF target and AF area position for vertical and hor-

izontal shooting. AF areas can be dened and placed

anywhere to deal with subject movement.

Shift your AF areas quickly and easily with the multi se-

lector while looking through the viewnder even during

sequential shooting or video recording.

The improved algorithm is developed by using deep

learning technology – a kind of articial intelligence. It

detects specic subjects and focuses on and tracks

the optimal points.

The TruePic X Image Processors make real-time

processing possible during sequential shooting.

The camera can quickly track subjects that move un-

predictably. You can either use C-AF+TR, C-AF

or S-AF mode.
