Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mirrorless MFT Digital Camera with 12-50mm Lens UK USED

The OLYMPUS E-M5 is the first Olympus interchangeable-lens camera to incorporate a 120fps refresh rate, high definition electronic viewfinder with an eye sensor to seamlessly switch the display between the tilting 3.0″ touch screen OLED and the electronic viewfinder for ease of use. It features a 100% field of view, a maximum of 100% magnification, and an eye point of 18mm for fatigue-free viewing. Camera setting information, such as shutter speed, is displayed at the bottom of the viewfinder so photographers can concentrate on framing shots and take full advantage of an EVF’s ability to display the effects of various exposure adjustments and Art Filter effects – all without having to take the eye away from the viewfinder

The Olympus E-M5 uses a 16.1-megapixel High-Speed Live MOS Sensor offering improved performance and exceptional clarity and speed in all aspects of image capture. Olympus’ TruePic VI image-processing engine dramatically improves image quality in low-light environments. The camera’s sensor allows for a maximum ISO of 25,600, and the dynamic range has been expanded for more faithful color reproduction

The Olympus E-M5 is distinguished by the world’s first 5-axis image-stabilization mechanism capable of reducing the effects of camera motion and image blur from five directions on stills and video, even including motion blur caused by the photographer walking or running. Previous IS mechanisms compensated for camera shake by addressing only two kinds of movement along the vertical and horizontal axis. However, camera shake can actually be caused by five different kinds of movement: horizontal shift, vertical shift, rotary motion, as well as the yaw and pitch. While some technology has attempted to correct for camera blur by building the Image Stabilization mechanism into the lens, the Olympus E-M5 IS mechanism is incorporated into the camera body itself so that all lenses mounted on the body can take advantage of this sophisticated technology, whether shooting stills or HD video

Focus and shoot faster with record-breaking autofocus speed and imaging processing. The Olympus E-M5 employs the FAST (Frequency Acceleration Sensor Technology) AF system, introduced in the PEN E-P3, but with even greater speed. The 16Mp Live MOS chip drives image data of the sensor at a blazing 240 frames-per-second, a 2x speed increase in Continuous Autofocus, with reduced image blackout enabling photographers to track fast action. Maximum frame rates in sequential shooting have also increased more than 2x with a max frame rate of 9fps in Single AF. A new 3D tracking AF system can follow the subject through the X-, Y- and Z-axes to dramatically improve focus on moving subjects

The camera does not feature a built-in flash, but it does come bundled with the FL-LM2 external flash. TTL Auto, Auto, Manual, FP-TTL AUTO, and FP-MANUAL are available. Guide Number (GN) = 10 (ISO 200) or 7 (ISO 100). Modes: Auto, Redeye, Fill-in, Flash Off, Red-eye / Slow sync. (1st curtain), Slow sync. (1st curtain), Slow sync. (2nd curtain), Manual（1/1（FULL）～1/64）. Flash exposure compensation: Up to ±3 EV in 0.3, 0.5, and 1 EV steps selectable. Color Temperature: 5500±400K. Other compatible external flashes: FL-50/FL-50R, FL-36/FL-36R, FL-20, FL-14, FL-300R, FL-600R

The Olympus E-M5 features a 3.0″ tilting OLED touch-screen to enable photographers to get up high or down low for any shot. The touchscreen interface offers intuitive focus and release of the shutter and review and enlargement of images in playback with the touch of a finger. The Live Bulb feature updates the Live View image on the OLED screen at pre-set intervals during long exposures and enables the user to preview continually unfolding actions such as fireworks or waterfalls and adjust the exposure time accordingly while capturing the image at the desired moment. An innovative new interface, EVF Creative Control, produces a tone curve overlay on the viewfinder screen to enable separate adjustment of highlight and shadow brightness, white balance, magnification, and aspect ratio can also be manipulated via the EVF. A “Key Line” Art Filter joins ten other available filters on the Olympus E-M5 and enhances the edge lines of the image to make it look more like an illustration. “Cross Process II” and “Dramatic Tone II” Art Filters provide variations on the popular existing filters, and the two new Echo effects for movies leave a momentary residual image of a subject’s movements when activated during movie recording. Users who like to perform their movie post-editing on a PC will particularly appreciate the Full HD 1080i movie recording function, which adopts the MOV format (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264)

The striking, iconic design of the Olympus E-M5 is more than just looks; its magnesium alloy body is rugged enough to stand up to severe environmental conditions like heavy rain and blowing sand. The Olympus E-M5 employs internal seals extensively and, when the included M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-50 mm f/3.5-6.3 EZ lens is attached, this combination delivers an integrated dustproof and splashproof camera system. The electronic viewfinder section of the body is also made of magnesium alloy to ensure durability, and the FL-LM2 Electronic Flash that ships with the camera features the same dustproof and splashproof construction

The Olympus E-M5 is compatible with all Micro Four Thirds-compliant lenses, including the bundled M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-50mm F3.5-6.3 EZ lens, and two lenses that Olympus will introduce later this year: the M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f/1.8 and the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 60mm f/2.8 macro. The 75mm lens is a high-quality metal design with fast aperture settings for portraits and indoor sports shooting, while the dustproof and splashproof 60mm lens features 1:1 macro and a closest shooting distance of just 7.5 inches.

The included M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-50mm F3.5-6.3 EZ lens offers a maximum magnification of 4.2x, covering a broad range extending from a wide angle of 24mm (35mm camera equivalent) – great for capturing wide shots, even indoors – to a medium telephoto focal length of 100mm (35mm camera equivalent) – optimal for portraits. A motorized zoom mechanism allows for smooth, quiet zooming while recording movies. The AF system is based on the MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) mechanism improved by a linear motor drive enabling quicker, quieter focusing. The lens is equipped with 10 elements in 9 groups, including the DSA lens, 2 Aspherical lenses, and ED Lens. In normal mode, the closest focusing distance is 1.15′ (0.35 m), while in macro mode, it is 0.66′ (0.2m). The maximum magnification is 0.36x in normal mode or 0.72x in macro mode. Min. field size is 1.42 x 1.89″ (36 x 48mm).
