An essential part of photography is the ability to capture fleeting moments.
The OM SYSTEM OM-1 is powered by the latest digital technologies, making it possible to capture split-second moments of any type of subject.
Never miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The new Stacked BSI Live MOS sensor uses a Cross Quad Pixel AF mode. A quad division photo diode configuration enables acquisition of On-chip Phase Detection information in both vertical and horizontal directions. This design has made it possible to focus on various patterns of subjects across all pixels and the entire shooting range. AF is available for the subject no matter where it is in the frame. On-chip Phase Detection is available across every pixel, dramatically improving detection precision. In addition, the high-speed calculation capabilities of the new TruePic X engine and the new AF algorithm make it possible to accurately track and continue focusing on the subject. High-precision focusing is possible even in darker scenes and on low-contrast subjects, delivering an AF low light limit of -8 EV*. In line with multi-point AF Target and, in addition to the full frame, Single (1 x 1), Small Area (3 x 3), Medium Area (9 x 7), Large Area (15 x 11), Cross Area (9, 7), and custom settings, the AF area can be set to match subject size and movement. The AF Target position can be quickly moved using the multi selector. These controls mean you'll never lose a subject.

The new Stacked BSI Live MOS sensor and new TruePic X engine deliver blistering sequential shooting* performance. This model is capable of 50 fps high-speed sequential shooting during AF/AE tracking and 120 fps in AF/AE lock. This capability makes it possible to capture extremely fast-moving subjects. Sequential SH supports blackout free display, eliminating viewfinder image loss for continued, accurate tracking of fast-moving subjects. Not only does this make it easy to continue tracking the subject across the screen in the desired location, but it also means users won't miss momentary changes in facial expressions when shooting something like a portrait.
