OM SYSTEM PEN Silver + M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 III
OM SYSTEM PEN Silver
The OM SYSTEM PEN camera packs the creative power of a full-fledged mirrorless camera into a compact body with a high-resolution Micro Four Thirds sensor, fast autofocus, and a plethora of unique artistic filters, allowing you to capture personal moments with a creative touch. Designed for both beginner photographers looking for their first interchangeable-lens camera and professionals looking for a truly portable everyday camera, the PEN is equally suitable for city street photography, a day at the skatepark, or a night out with friends. Its compact design makes it disappear in your hand, making it easy to capture spontaneous moments and beautiful scenes.
A classic revamped
From the first film PEN camera to the first digital PEN in 2009, PEN cameras have been at the forefront of combining power and portability. The new PEN carries this legacy into the present day, using a Micro Four Thirds mirrorless system that allows the camera body and lenses to remain smaller and lighter than their full-frame counterparts, while still offering sharp detail, a wide dynamic range and vibrant colours.
Extreme Portability
Designed to be taken with you wherever you go, the PEN allows you to capture scenes where you'd like to have your camera or would be struggling with your smartphone to create a decent image. With an unobtrusive ergonomic grip and slim body, it fits comfortably in your hand or bag, staying out of the way until you need it. Whether it's a long hike or a full day of shooting, the camera stays comfortable in your hand or on your shoulder thanks to its ultra-lightweight design.
Made for Adventure
Use your PEN in any weather without fear, thanks to its IPX1 water resistance rating when combined with the splash-proof OM SYSTEM lenses, sold separately. This allows the camera to withstand vertical water jets such as light rain, allowing you to take it with you in any weather, not just sunny days. A fully charged battery lasts approximately 400 shots, allowing you to keep shooting all day without having to charge extra batteries.
Easy for beginners, ready for professionals
With a powerful in-body image stabilisation system, precise autofocus and specialised scene settings, it's incredibly simple to create sharp, beautiful images with your PEN, whether it's your first camera or your hundredth. Interchangeable lenses and a larger image sensor than comparably sized cameras deliver powerful low-light performance and sharp subject separation for beautiful images in any situation. An easy-to-navigate user interface and conveniently placed buttons and dials let you spend your time experimenting and developing your personal photographic style, rather than getting lost in menus. As you evolve as a photographer, the PEN evolves with you thanks to a host of professional-grade features.
Continuous shooting at up to 30fps makes it easy to capture the perfect moment anywhere, from shooting sports in the stands to birds in your backyard. Focus stacking and built-in or bracketed HDR make it easy to capture stunning landscapes and starry skies with just your PEN and tripod.
The in-camera multiple exposure function allows you to create images with unique fusions, without the need for post-processing.
The flash shoe allows the use of external flash and supports sync up to 1/250th of a second with front and rear curtain sync, so you can experiment with artificial light to further unlock creative potential.
Thanks to its 20.4MP sensor, PEN's images can be printed in large formats without compromising on quality. However, when even higher image fidelity is required, PEN's High Resolution shooting mode allows you to combine multiple exposures in the camera itself to create ultra-detailed images for giant prints or extreme crops.
Programmable Profiles
Switch between multiple colour and monochrome picture profiles in a second using the PEN's profile control menu. Create sets of colour profiles, curves, sharpness and other settings for different shooting purposes, and switch between them as needed to minimise post-processing. The Profile Control button lets you switch between picture profiles without having to look, ensuring you don't miss the moment while navigating a menu.
For even greater creative control, with no editing required, PEN also offers a wide range of unique artistic filters. Quickly go from grainy black-and-white street photos to soft, dreamlike portraits of your friends, then find a panoramic point and create a miniature-style video, all at the touch of a button.
Available filters include Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pale & Light Color, Light Tone, Grainy Film, Stenopeic Hole, Diorama, Cross Process, Soft Sepia, Dramatic Tone, Key Line, Watercolor, Vintage, Partial Color (18 Colors), Bleach Bypass, and Instant Film.
Moving Video
Sometimes, a single image isn't enough to capture a moment. Capturing everything from travel videos and home movies to high-quality social media content has never been easier thanks to the power and portability of the PEN.
Autofocus with face/eye detection and human and animal recognition keeps the focus sharp on your subject, even with the camera pointed at you. If you prefer manual focus for cinematic-style shooting, peak focus and magnification are available to ensure razor-sharp images.
The PEN is capable of recording in OM-Log400 with 4:2:2 8-bit color, allowing the image to be intensely color corrected with minimal banding and artifacts for more professional needs. Connect an external microphone via the 3.5mm port to record crystal-clear 24-bit audio directly into the camera, making it easy to create well-produced media with minimal editing. All you need is a USB-C cable to use your PEN as a webcam for better image quality on video calls, live streams, and more.
With the ability to record in crisp 4K at 24fps or ultra-slow motion at 120fps, the PEN is the pocket-sized camcorder you didn't even know you needed.
OM Image Share App
Use the OM Image Share app to control your PEN camera remotely. Adjust camera settings and trigger the shutter while viewing a preview of your frame with Live View, or use remote shutter mode for a simpler wireless experience without previewing the frame.
Through the app, you can quickly transfer photos directly to your phone and edit them slightly, allowing you to start sharing your work before you even get home. Develop your own style by creating your library of editing profiles in the Image Share app and share them with others for a collaborative creative process. GPS information can be recorded while the camera is connected to the app, allowing you to keep a detailed record of where your favorite images were taken.
