Olympus Om System OM-5 II + 12-45 mm Silver (SKU V210071SW000)

The OM SYSTEM OM-5 Mark II is a second-generation adventure-ready mirrorless camera that stays true to OM’s hallmark combination of small size and high image quality. It brings improvements in comfort, usability and creative control, making it an excellent companion for travel, everyday shooting and outdoor exploration.

USB-C Charging and Connectivity

The OM-5 Mark II features a USB-C port that supports both:

• Power delivery for in-camera battery charging

• High-speed data transfer of photos and video

You can charge the camera on the go using compatible power banks (available separately), making all-day shooting more convenient in virtually any environment.

Computational Photography Button

A dedicated computational photography button is positioned on the top plate next to the shutter release. This gives quick, direct access to advanced tools without digging through menus, including:

• High-Res Shot

• Live ND

• Focus Stacking

• HDR

• Multiple Exposure

One press opens up a range of creative options that use the camera’s processing power to go beyond typical single-shot captures.

New Shooting Modes for Low Light

Two new modes are designed to help in challenging lighting:

• Night Vision Mode – Enhances visibility in very dark scenes, showing both the night sky and foreground more clearly, making composition easier.

• Hand Held Assist – Helps you judge whether your grip and stance are stable enough for long handheld exposures, in real time, before you commit to the shot.

New Video Color Profiles

The OM-5 Mark II introduces two OM Cinema color profiles:

• OM Cinema 1

• OM Cinema 2

These profiles aim to give video footage a more cinematic look straight out of camera, reducing the need for extensive color grading while still offering a filmic finish.

Updated OM SYSTEM Menu

In line with the OM-1 Mark II and OM-3, the OM-5 Mark II adopts OM SYSTEM’s latest menu design:

• Clear, logically grouped categories

• Easier navigation for both new and experienced users

• More intuitive access to commonly used settings

Improved Grip and Handling

A more pronounced handgrip improves comfort and stability, especially for one-handed shooting or when using slightly larger lenses. The shape and texture are designed to make the camera feel secure and balanced in the hand.

Imaging Performance

20.4 MP Live MOS Sensor and TruePic IX Processor

• 20.4 MP Four Thirds Live MOS sensor paired with the TruePic IX processor

• Sensitivity range up to ISO 25,600 for low-light work

• 4K video recording capabilities

• Pro Capture mode with continuous shooting up to 30 fps, allowing the camera to start buffering images when the shutter button is half-pressed so you can capture fast action just before you fully press the shutter

Autofocus System – 121-Point All Cross-Type Phase Detection

The OM-5 Mark II uses a hybrid AF system with:

• 121 phase-detection AF points

• 121 contrast-detection AF points

Key AF characteristics:

• All 121 phase-detect points are cross-type for higher precision in mixed or tricky lighting

• Enhanced subject tracking, including modes like Group Target (25-point) for birds, wildlife or other moving subjects

• Face and Eye Detection modes for portraits

• Starry Sky AF for astrophotography

• Individual AF area settings can be customized separately for vertical and horizontal shooting orientations

5-Axis In-Body Image Stabilization

The sensor-shift stabilization system provides up to approximately 6.5 stops of compensation with any mounted lens:

• Compensates for five types of movement: vertical rotation, horizontal rotation, horizontal shift, vertical shift and roll

• Particularly beneficial for telephoto shooting, macro work and long exposures

When used with select lenses that include optical stabilization:

• Combined stabilization (Sync IS) can reach up to about 7.5 stops of correction

This system also enhances:

• High-Res Shot modes

• Hand Held Assist

• General low-light handheld photography

OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 12–45mm f/4 PRO Lens

This lens, bundled with the OM-5 Mark II kit, is a compact standard zoom for Micro Four Thirds:

• 24–90 mm equivalent focal length range

• Constant f/4 maximum aperture for consistent exposure across the zoom range

• Designed to balance optical quality with a small, lightweight build

Optical features:

• Multiple specialized elements (aspherical, DSA, extra-low dispersion, Super HR, HR) help reduce:

  • Spherical aberrations

  • Chromatic aberrations

  • Distortion

• ZERO coating minimizes flare and ghosting, improving contrast and color fidelity in bright or backlit situations

Focusing and close-up performance:

• Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) AF system for fast, smooth and quiet focusing in both photo and video

• Minimum focusing distance:

  • 4.7" (approx. 12 cm) at the wide end

  • 9.1" (approx. 23 cm) at the telephoto end

• Maximum magnification: 0.25×, useful for close-up work

Durability and rendering:

• Dust-, freeze- and drip-proof construction for use in harsh conditions
