OM SYSTEM OM-5 (Black) + M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f2.8 PRO II (Black)
Every trip is a story waiting to be told. A thousand small moments hidden between a beginning and an end. Of course, everyone likes the top of the mountain. But the real story happens on the way. Embrace the rides, the missed opportunities, and the mishaps because adventure lives in those moments. History makes the trip worthwhile. Go, tell your story, with OM-5.
Like it's your favorite pair of boots
The OM-5 isn't here to be flashy, steal the show, disrupt your experience, or even try to be the only reason for your adventure. It's more like your favorite pair of boots that takes you to unfamiliar trails; that bag that always has what you need, or that friend who helps you see the world in a different way.
Invisible
So compact that you barely notice it. A simplified classic design that almost disappears in the middle of your things, inside your bag but feels good when holding.
Durable
Remarkably tough. The OM-5 will face anything your adventure throws at it. There is no bad time for storytelling.
Live composite
Make the darkest hours your ally with Live Composite mode. Effortlessly enter a whole new world of long exposures with this computational photography feature. No more accidental overexposure or guesswork. Watch the light come to life on your OM-5's screen and enjoy everything from starry trails to magic hour light painting.
HDR
Quickly capture the full dynamic range of a scene or go beyond the natural capability of your eyes with Composite HDR mode. With multiple levels of effects to choose from, the OM-5 can group 3 to 5 images with varying exposures. You can even process 4 images together in selectable HDR modes.
Color Creator
Get creative with the Color Creator feature that lets you freely control any scene hue and color saturation to maximize your narrator impact. Choose the part of the scene you want to highlight, from the breathtaking oranges in the sunsets to the lush greens of the jungle.
Art Filter
Explore the world around you through 16 distinct Art Filters. From classic cinematic-style Black and White simulations, to artistic exploration with soft focus, there's more than enough to keep you exploring the world in a new way through your OM-5's screen or EVF.
Focus stacking
Get as close as you can without having to close the opening to keep everything in focus. Choose the depth of field you want and let the camera do the work of combining the images. Whether you're doing super macro in low light or landscapes, this feature allows you to maximize depth of field without resorting to higher ISOs or F-values.
AF Modes
The availability of a variety of AF modes to ensure you never miss your moment. Whether you're a fan of the traditional single-point focusing method or want to create custom AF patterns for a specific purpose, there's a way to meet the need.
Scene modes
Do you have a beautiful scene in front of you that you want to capture as faithfully as possible, but you're not sure where to start? Well, there's no shame in that. The 22 scene modes make the OM-5 that friend who always has the advice you need. From Beach & Snow, Macro Nature, to Handheld Starlight, there's a preset prepared to set you and your camera up for success.
Pro Capture
Our 20MP Stacked BSI Live MOS Sensor is a leap forward for image quality. It uses a revolutionary way of arranging the pixel's electronic circuitry to let in more light while increasing low-light performance. Your photos will have breathtaking resolution with low noise and a rich dynamic range from shadows to highlights.
Telling the whole story
Sometimes, to tell a certain story, even photographs are not enough. Let your adventures turn into beautiful movies on OM-5 without letting your achievement take away from your experience of Nature. Class-leading image stabilisation makes it possible to move the camera footage normally reserved for external stabilisation systems. High video quality, compact size and director-friendly features such as 120fps FHD, unlimited recording time, red frame recording indicator and instant autofocus make filmmaking on the OM-5 an experience in itself.
Vertical video
Capture your stories the way you want to share them. Vertical video mode not only makes editing and sharing to social platforms much easier, but it also gives you a whole new way to tell stories. From vertical waterfalls and hiking trails, to canoes, you can now choose the right orientation for the story while maintaining all the quality and capabilities of a dedicated storytelling system.
OM-LOG400
Capture the full tonality of a scene with a specific cinematic profile. Designed to maximise dynamic range and make colour editing easier in post-production, the OM-Log400 format strikes the perfect balance to allow you to enjoy nature more and spend less time editing.
Web Cam in progress
When you're not out on adventures, the OM-5 doubles as a premium webcam solution by simply connecting it to your computer via USB - no extra programs or drivers required. Turn your campsite into a web meeting office with a "Wow" factor.
Smartphone as an accessory
The OM-5 easily connects to your phone via the OI app. Share. This allows for fast image transfers so you can share your best stories, remote operation for tricky angles, and synchronizing GPS location information from your smartphone to your photos.
LS-P5 Ecosystem
Capture the sounds of nature in Hi-Res with the LS-P5 PCM recorder, and add Bluetooth wireless (or wired, if you prefer) audio monitoring to your already impressive video production setup. A remarkable 21-level microphone zoom lets you get closer to the action or capture all the surrounding soundscapes while keeping your setup nice and compact.
USB charging
Gone are the days of carrying multiple separate chargers and batteries for all your devices. Even without running, the OM-5 can conveniently charge via USB from your computer, power bank, or USB AC adapter making power a walk in the park... Or anywhere.
OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f2.8 PRO II
A high-resolution, large-aperture zoom lens offers incredible versatility from wide-angle to mid-range telephoto shots. It's even great for macro photography. Put it in its case and you'll find yourself using it over and over again. Even with all that imaging power, it's still lightweight and compact enough to fit comfortably in your hand. The IP53 rating means it's highly waterproof so you can shoot worry-free in the harshest conditions. One of the most versatile lenses you'll ever own.
High-quality optics
The 12-40mm is built using world-class optics with a bright aperture and features everything needed to capture high-resolution images.
F2.8 brightness
With a fast F2.8 brightness aperture, you'll be able to achieve shallow depth of field with exceptional clarity, even in low light. It's perfect for shooting landscapes, wildlife, people, and even macro photography without a tripod. It's a lens that can be used in a variety of environments that delivers exceptional image quality every time.
Zero coating
In addition to being built with some of the best glass in the world, we apply an advanced coating that suppresses ghosting and flares.
Portable performance
Large, bulky lenses are difficult to carry. That's why the OM System is one of the most portable in the world. The idea is that with less weight and volume, you can work at your best. The 12-40mm lens fits perfectly. It weighs just 380 grams — 50% lighter than other full-frame mirrorless SLR camera lenses — with a diameter of 2.4 inches. This means that it is lightweight and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. It's the perfect balance between image power and portability so you can take your best shots.
Get closer
This lens will help you capture stunning close-ups of insects, leaves, flowers and other small objects. Get up to 7.8 inches closer to your subject with a maximum shooting magnification of 0.6x (35mm equivalent). You'll have all the imaging power you need to take your macro photography to new heights.
Fast & Accurate AF
The 12-40mm integrates the latest technology in optical design to deliver fast and accurate focusing. It uses an MSC (Movie and Still Compatible) mechanism to silently and quickly move focusing lenses. The result is a compact and lightweight focusing unit that enables 50fps sequential shooting while allowing you to shoot stills and movies with speed and precision.
