The OM-1 offers, together with the M.Zuiko lenses, an unrivaled portability, as it produces the highest image quality in a small and lightweight body.

This gives you the possibility of agile handheld shooting even with long tele lenses and allows photographers to take advantage of the mobility of the system Carrying lighter gear gives you more energy. More shooting flexibility. More ways to express yourself. You’re free to shoot longer so you can nail the best shot and enjoy your photography more.

Modes The mode dial is the main control of your camera and defines in which shooting mode you are working. Here you can decide how your camera should work and support your shooting style. Decide whether you would like to work in fully automatic mode or completely manual.

PASM P Mode Use the P mode when you would like to let the camera decide on aperture and exposure time. However, you have always the option to overrule the settings.

by OM SYSTEM Ambassador Chris Eyer-Walker

S Mode Use S mode when you would like to control the shutter speed in case you are shooting fast moving object. You don’t have to worry about the aperture as the camera is choosing the one fitting to your shutter speed.

by OM SYSTEM Ambassador Ben Knoot

Auto Focus 1053 point all Cross Quad Pixel AF The more autofocus tracking points, the better. That’s why the OM-1 has 1,053 point all Cross Quad Pixel AF for high-precision focusing. Every point is cross-type, enabling detection of vertical and horizontal lines for unmatched accuracy. It covers 100% of the image area and gives you more freedom to decide where to focus. It’s advanced autofocusing technology that ensures you’ll capture it all, anytime, anywhere.

by OM Ambassador Michaela Skovranova

Full Customizable AF AF customization makes it possible to individually set the AF target and AF area position for vertical and horizontal shooting. AF areas can be defined and placed anywhere to deal with subject movement. Shift your AF areas quickly and easily with the multi selector while looking through the viewfinder even during sequential shooting or video recording. AF menu > 5. AF Target Settings & Operations > AF Target Mode Settings

by OM Ambassador Brooke Bartleson

AI Detection AF The improved algorithm is developed by using deep learning technology – a kind of artificial intelligence. It detects specific subjects and focuses on and tracks the optimal points. The TruePic X Image Processors make real-time processing possible during sequential shooting. The camera can quickly track subjects that move unpredictably. You can either use C-AF+TR, C-AF or S-AF mode. AF menu > 2. AF > Subject Detection
