The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II system camera has a completely redesigned TruePic VIII image processor and a 20-megapixel Live MOS sensor. In addition, this high-speed camera is equipped with an enhanced version of the 5-axis image stabilization. This allows you to shoot in 4K at 30 fps and a bit rate of 102 M bps. Moreover, a 24p frame rate and 237 M bps bit rate is also possible, allowing movies to be shown in the original C4K wide screen format.
The OM-D E-M1 Mark II has an on-chip phase detection auto focus system with unprecedented precision, great tracking functionality and real-time adjustment possibilities. The precision is the result of 121 'all cross-type’ AF points and an ultrafast algorithm that is driven by the new TruePic VIII AF processor. The tracking feature uses a special algorithm for moving objects which ensures reliable focusing in sequential shots at a rate of 18 fps and at Single AF at even 60 fps. All in all this is the most advanced and fastest MFT camera currently available.
Features of the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II
- 20 megapixel Live MOS sensor
- TruePic VIII processor
- 4K/C4K movie recording
- Pro Capture mode for instant shutter response
- 2 SD card slots, of which one is compatible with UHS-II, USB 3.0 (Type C)

Groundbreaking speed
Several high-speed components together ensure great sequential shots with the OM-D E-M1 Mark II. With an electronic viewfinder with a response time of 6 ms and a smooth frame rate of 120 fps it is very easy to capture fast-moving objects. In the C-AF mode, the OM-D E-M1 Mark II achieves a sequential shooting speed of 18 fps, and increasing at S-AF even up to 60 fps. Moreover, no less than 14 shots are taken even before the shutter is fully depressed.
Optimal ease of use
A number of improvements have been made that help professional photographers to work better and easier. So, for example this model contains, based on many requests, two SD card slots of which one is compatible with UHS-II. There are various shooting settings available for each card, making it possible to simultaneously capture a RAW image on one card and a JPG version on the other. The new battery pack will last nearly 40% longer, the charging time of approximately 2 hours is about half that of the previous model, and the battery charging can be displayed as a percentage on the LCD.
Peerless mobility
Another important advantage of the OM-D E-M1 Mark II is the extremely compact and portable design. Olympus is the first and only manufacturer of professional cameras that offers a complete professional camera system, including lenses, that fits in your hand luggage that you are allowed to bring on board of an aircraft. Moreover, the equipment is very solid and resistant to splash water, dust and frost. Despite its compact dimensions, you can hold the new OM-D easy securely, even when a telephoto lens is attached.
Leading AF
The previous OM-D was already voted as excellent in many a test, and with the new OM-D E-M1 Mark II, the OM-D has thanks to the new ultra-fast auto focus system, permanently earned a place in the top of the professional camera segment. Crucially in that is the all-new on-chip phase detection auto focus system with unprecedented precision, great tracking functionality and real-time adjustment possibilities. The precision is the result of 121 'all cross-type’ AF points and a very fast algorithm that is driven by the new TruePic VIII AF processor.
