Building on the trusted design of the original OM-5
The new OM-5 Mark II adds key upgrades for creators who shoot on the move. With improved handling, faster access to creative tools, and essential updates like USB-C charging, it’s a top pick for travel, hiking, landscape, and content creation.
What’s New in the Mark II
- USB-C Charging and Power Delivery
Now equipped with a USB-C port, the OM-5 Mark II allows faster file transfers and in-camera charging from power banks or portable batteries – ideal for on-location shooting.
- Dedicated Computational Photography Button
A new top-plate button gives instant access to High-Res Shot, Live ND, Focus Stacking, HDR, and Multiple Exposure modes. No need to dive into the menu.
- Night Vision and Hand Held Assist Modes
Night Vision mode enhances low-light previews, helping you compose starry skies and nightscapes with greater ease.
Hand Held Assist gives real-time feedback on long-exposure stability for sharper results without a tripod.
- New Colour Profiles for Video
OM-Cinema 1 and 2 profiles offer a cinematic look in-camera without extra grading.
First introduced in the OM-1 Mark II, the new menu system is clearer and more intuitive, making it easier to navigate features on the fly.
A more sculpted handgrip improves comfort and control, especially for one-handed operation or longer shooting sessions.
