Absolute reliability
Moments that make great photos exist in every situation. The more difficult the environment, the more dramatic the scene, including windy, dusty, snowy, and rainy situations. In such scenes, you need to be confident that the camera will continue shooting. The OM SYSTEM OM-1 delivers absolute reliability in the worst conditions.
Never worry about equipment problems.
A new EVF designed for greater realism
The viewfinder is important in determining composition, checking the focus, and determining the perfect moment to start shooting to capture a fleeting scene. The EVF has been dramatically improved. This high-performance EVF is equipped with 5,760,000 dot resolution, a viewfinder magnification of 0.83x (35mm eqivalent), a display delay of just 0.005 seconds , and 120 fps high-speed display performance. Not only does it feature the best aspects of an optical viewfinder, but it also offers the advantages of a digital viewfinder, making it possible to view subjects even in dark locations and check the exposure. Additionally, the OM-1 is equipped with anti-fogging coating on the viewfinder, making it possible to continue shooting with a clear image, even in the rain. Photographers can focus on the subject and on capturing just the right moment.
Practical IP53 compatibility and a dustproof and splashproof design
Our dustproof and splashproof design is trusted by photographers from around the world, so we made it even better. The OM-1 features IP53* dustproof and waterproof performance. The tough, lightweight magnesium alloy body features sealing in all the right places, giving it reliability that goes further than ever with dustproof and splashproof performance, for reliability in more practical use situations. It is also freezeproof to -10°C for continued operation even at low temperatures. This construction makes the camera usable in the most punishing environments.

Reliable dust reduction system
Ever since the world first introduction on the OLYMPUS E-1, our dust reduction system has been lauded for its performance by photographers around the world. This feature is of course included on the OM-1. It solves issues that are not the fault of photographers, such as dust and dirt ending up in shots when changing the lens, by removing them from the sensor.
Highly durable shutter unit
The shutter unit is the part of the digital camera that undergoes the most use. The OM-1 is equipped with a highly durable shutter unit that clears 400,000 operation tests.
