- General
- Brand: Olympus
- Model Number: V210020SU000
- Product Name: OM5 Mirrorless Camera (Body Only)
- Color: Silver
- Camera Model Family: Olympus OM-5
- Digital Camera Type: DSLR Camera Body Only
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm)
- Total Pixels: 20 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
- Digital Zoom: 3.8x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
- Image File Format(s): RAW, JPEG, MOV, MPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Number of Autofocus Points (Up To): 121
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: Mechanical Shutter 1/8000 to 60 Seconds, Electronic Front Curtain Shutter 1/320 to 60 Seconds, Electronic Shutter 1/32000 to 60 Seconds (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Burst Rate: 30 frames per second
- Shooting Modes: AUTO (Live Guide can be used), Program AE (Program shift can be performed), Aperture priority AE, Shutter priority AE, Manual, Bulb (Live Bulb, Live Time and Live Composite are available), Custom, Scene select AE, Art Filter (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- Scene Modes: Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pale & Light Color, Light Tone, Grainy Film, Pin Hole, Diorama, Cross Process, Gentle Sepia, Dramatic Tone, Key Line, Water Color, Vintage, Partial Color (18 color selectable), Bleach Bypass, Instant Film (Exposure modes with predetermined optimal settings for capturing specific scenes. Examples include Landcape, Portrait, and Sports modes.)
- Effective Pixels: 20 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Flash
- Integrated Flash: false
- External Flash Mount: Hot Shoe (A cold shoe is a mounting point on top of a camera to securely attach a flash unit or other compatible accessories. A hot shoe is a cold shoe with an electrical connection that insures communication and synchronization between camera and accessory.)
- Display
- Display Type: OLED
- Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)

Sleek but well-spec'd, the silver OM-D E-M10 Mark IV meshes many of Olympus's flagship features and technologies with the compact and highly portable E-M10 design. Incorporating the 20.3MP Micro Four Thirds sensor and TruePic VIII image processor, the E-M10 Mark IV is characterized by its UHD 4K video recording capabilities, fast 8.7 fps continuous shooting rate, and wide ISO 200-25600 sensitivity range to suit working in a variety of lighting conditions. The sensor also employs a 121-point contrast-detection AF system, which uses subject detection algorithms from the E-M1-series, for fast, accurate, and intelligent focusing performance. Additionally, 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization is also featured, which compensates for approximately 4.5 stops of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting.
A pocket-sized powerhouse with incredible image quality for travel, concerts, and everyday adventures, the LUMIX ZS99 has a 24-720mm LEICA DC lens, and 60x iZoom for incredible detail.

OM-5, one of the best M4/3 cameras of all time
I have been using Olympus micro four thirds cameras for 20 years. This is, for me, the best M4/3 camera I have ever used. Size and ergonomics are perfect, it feels great and light in the hand, grips are good and work well with small and larger lenses. Image quality is fantastic and high resolution mode is simply amazing.
