BUILT TO DO ONE THING PERFECTLY: NEVER MISS
It’s comfortable. It’s reliable. It’s weathersealed. Most importantly, it’s shooting all day and always getting that critical shot.
COMPACT & LIGHTWEIGHT
The E-M1X and our M.Zuiko PRO lenses are designed on a groundbreaking mirrorless platform enabling us to build lighter, smaller cameras that pack powerful performance. Compared to flagship DSLR bodies and lenses, this system is half the size, half the weight, and a lot less bulky. The advantages? More mobility to get better shots. Unparalleled handheld shooting. Working longer without tiring. Stowing more gear in a smaller bag. Our full line of M.Zuiko PRO lenses deliver incredible imaging power in half the size of 35mm glass. It all adds up to a more creative shooting experience that lets you get more from every shoot.
WEATHERSEALED PERFORMANCE
Concentrate on taking the perfect shot instead of protecting your camera from the elements. Thanks to sturdy magnesium alloy construction and an advanced system of seals, the E-M1X has best-inclass weather protection – innovations successfully used in our durable Tough cameras. Each of the camera’s access points, including the SD card slots, are protected by a splashproof cover. A dustproof design means worry-free shooting on windy days at the beach or extreme environments. You can keep working even if temperatures plummet: the E-M1X is freezeproof down to 14°F / -10°C.
INTEGRATED VERTICAL GRIP
The E-M1X is built for comfort. It starts with an integrated vertical grip featuring a deep finger rest that feels secure and comfortable in your hand. Buttons and controls are strategically placed for both vertical and horizontal shooting – use the same finger motion to find the controls no matter how you hold the camera. Operate the camera without taking your eye off the viewfinder because buttons and controls are identifiable by touch. All button functions can be customized and the C-LOCK (custom lock) feature locks only the buttons you want and keeps the others active.
USB TYPE-C PD CHARGING
The E-M1X has 2 long life, high-capacity batteries that can be charged via USB cable in about 2 hours. The at-a-glance display lets you keep an eye on battery status.
HEAT DISSIPATION SYSTEM
Shooting 4K video and capturing sequential shots at high speeds heat up a camera. An ingenious heat dissipation system keeps the E-M1X cool and fully functional.
MY MENUS INTERFACE
Designed with input from top pros, the My Menu feature lets you instantly access up to 35 commands. Adding, removing or moving a command in your customized menu is as easy as pressing a button.
FIELD SENSOR SYSTEM
The E-M1X is conveniently equipped with GPS, a barometer, a compass, and a temperature sensor. Sensor data is displayed in real time and recorded for easy image management – a helpful feature while shooting nature or wildlife.
DO MORE THAN CAPTURE AN IMAGE. COMMAND ATTENTION.
HANDHELD & BLUR-FREE
The E-M1X uses the industry’s most sophisticated stabilization system found in an interchangeable lens camera. Our groundbreaking in-body 5-Axis Image Stabilization system provides 7.0 stops of compensation freeing you to shoot handheld, telephoto or macro in any light for crisp, clear photos without a tripod. When you pair the camera with a stabilized M.Zuiko PRO lens, the combined 5-Axis Sync IS system produces the world’s most effective image stabilization system providing up to 7.5 stops of compensation. It lets you take blur-free handheld shots as long as 4 seconds. There isn’t another pro camera system that offers so much mobility and flexibility.
HANDHELD HIGH RES SHOT
Sometimes you can use a tripod, sometimes you can’t. The E-M1X brilliantly captures super high resolution images either way. When using the E-M1X’s High Res Shot Mode with a tripod, the camera’s image sensor automatically moves in 0.5 pixel increments while taking eight shots in under a second, then merges them to create one 50MP high resolution shot. No tripod? With Handheld High Res Shot Mode, 16 shots are automatically taken while you hold the camera, then merged into a single 50MP image.
OUR MOST POWERFUL PROCESSING
The E-M1X is equipped with two quad core TruePic™ VIII image processors built for speed and reliability. You’ll experience instantaneous start-up and write speeds to dual card slots, exhilarating autofocusing plus blazing sequential shooting. Besides speed, the processors deliver off-the-chart image quality highlighted by true-to-life color, edge-to-edge sharpness and vibrant gradations. Both processors work in tandem with a high-speed 20MP Live MOS Sensor featuring an Anti-Reflection Coating to reduce flaring and ghosting directly on the sensor.
LIVE ND MODE
Preview slow shutter effects in the viewfinder before shooting. Live ND Mode eliminates swapping ND filters for each shooting scene or lens. Choose from 5 ND levels starting from 1EV to 5EV.
FOCUS STACKING & BRACKETING
Use the Focus Stacking & Bracketing Modes to take sharp macro photos with a deep depth of field. With in-camera Focus Stacking, the E-M1X automatically captures several shots with varying focal points, then merges them to form a single image with edge-to-edge clarity. It’s ideal for shooting plants, insects or small objects.
ANTI-FLICKER MODE
Capture brighter indoor shots. Anti-Flicker Mode compensates for artificial light by automatically activating the shutter at peak brightness to smooth exposure and color difference between frames.
SUPERSONIC WAVE FILTER
Change lenses outdoors without worrying about getting the sensor dusty. Our Supersonic Wave Filter oscillates 30,000 times per second to instantly shake dust and dirt away.
OUR AUTOFOCUS IS SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST ACCURATE. IT’S INTELLIGENT.
UNFAILING ACCURACY
Our autofocus system relies on the quantity and quality of detection information. That’s why our Frequency Accelerating Sensor Technology (F.A.S.T.) AF system boasts 121 points of on-chip Phase Detection plus Contrast Detection AF across the sensor plane. Every point is cross-type, enabling dependable detection of vertical and horizontal lines for industry-leading accuracy. It’s advanced technology to ensure you’ll easily lock focus on any subject in any environment.
INTELLIGENT SUBJECT DETECTION AF
Imagine your camera’s AF system being able to detect and lock on to subjects all by itself. That’s Intelligent Subject Detection AF. Developed using AI-based Deep Learning Technology, it detects specific subjects like a speeding formula car or rally car, motocross racer and flying aircraft. Choose from three modes: Motor Vehicles, Aircraft or Trains. The system pinpoints, then focuses on one part of a subject — a driver’s helmet, a pilot or an engineer. You only need to compose your shot.
CUSTOM AF TARGET
You can customize AF targeting in addition to using the AF Target Mode presets. Choose from any odd number of points from 11 vertical and 11 horizontal and from three levels of horizontal and vertical area movement steps. Achieve new levels of pinpoint accuracy that enhances one of the world’s best AF systems.
AF TARGET MODES
Use the new 25-point AF Target Mode to track moving subjects like birds or small animals. It joins 5 other AF target presets including Single, Group 5-point, Group 9-point, 121 point and Small AF.
JOYSTICK MULTI SELECTOR
Accurately capture moving subjects as you look through the viewfinder. A convenient multi selector lets you shift your AF area while shooting sequentially or capturing video.
FACE & EYE PRIORITY AF
When you’re shooting portraits with a bright prime lens, just switch on Face and Eye Priority AF to capture images with stunning sharpness and spectacular detail.
SO FAST, IT’S WAY AHEAD OF YOUR EXPECTATIONS.
Professional photographers crave speed. And the E-M1X delivers. We’ve built this camera so you can effortlessly capture the fastest moving subjects on earth.
BLAZING CONTINUOUS SHOOTING
The E-M1X generates sequential shooting speeds that surpass any DSLR. Using the silent electronic shutter, you can capture up to 60 fps of 20MP RAW image files in S-AF Mode and 18 fps in C-AF Tracking Mode. Or switch to the mechanical shutter to shoot high resolution photos at a blazing 15fps in S-AF Mode with best-in-class speed. It’s all possible thanks to dual image processors that ensure the fastest subjects are captured in sharp detail.
ZERO-LAG PRO CAPTURE
Shooting split second action is effortless with Pro Capture Mode. It starts buffering a running series of up to 35 high resolution images the moment you press the shutter button halfway. When you see the moment you want to capture, fully press the shutter button to instantly save that moment plus the buffered shots. Because you can go back 35 frames, you get the split second image you want without any lag. Never miss an exciting moment again.
HIGH SPEED EVF
What you see is what you get with our Electronic Viewfinder. There’s a four element optical system of aspherical and high refractive index lenses that provide an industry best 0.83x (35mm equivalent) of magnification for edge-to-edge, distortion-free display. The EVF works with Live View, letting you see setting changes in real time. Key settings are unobtrusively displayed so you can focus on framing your subject. A barely perceptible minimum lag of 0.005 seconds lets you chase fast-moving objects with ease.
SILENT MODE
Silent Shutter Mode shuts off all shutter and electronic sounds. Perfect for when you need to be discrete in quiet settings.
DUAL UHS-II CARD SLOTS
The E-M1X’s dual TruePic™ VIII Image Processors drive two UHS II compatible slots that deliver breathtaking data transfer speeds. A staggered layout makes access easy. The four recording settings are ideal for backup and management of your image and video files
400K SHUTTER LIFE
Talk about durability. Our internal rigorous testing proves that the E-M1X’s shutter has a reliable lifespan of more than 400,000 actuations.
WI-FI & BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY
Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth makes sharing simple. Our free OI.Share app syncs the E-M1X to your smart device. Compose images, adjust settings, shoot remotely and upload your photos and videos.

SMOOTHEST HANDHELD 4K
Don’t be weighed down by tripods, jibs, or other bulky stabilizing gear. The E-M1X is equipped with in-body 5-Axis Image Stabilization to compensate for all 5 types of camera of movement while capturing video. As an extra measure, electronic stabilization helps you shoot ultra-smooth C4K or 4K video with nothing but your hands and talent.
HIGH BIT RATE RECORDING
The E-M1X lets you shoot a variety of frame sizes from standard HD to FHD up to C4K/4K. Capture C4K (4096 x 2160) up to a max bit rate of 237 Mbps at a 24P frame rate for true cinema quality. Be more flexible by shooting in 4K (3840 x 2160) video with a 30P, 25P or a 24P frame rate.
OM-LOG
Lighting can change quickly, especially when you’re working on the fly. Shooting with OM-Log Mode compared to Flat maximizes dynamic range to keep your video clean and crisp without losing details in shadow or highlights. A new Look Up Table lets you easily grade your color using Davinci Resolve post-production software.
C4K FORMAT
Get cinematic. Shoot in an aspect ratio of 4096 x 2160 for display on the biggest screens. It’s slightly wider than standard 4K, but considerably more spectacular to view.
CLEAN HDMI OUT
An HDMI monitor connection supports clean 4:2:2 output, giving you an expanded range for color correction.
PHASE DETECTION AF FOR VIDEO
Phase Detection AF uses improved algorithms to ensure fast and accurate focusing while shooting video. Choose from four AF target modes – Single, 121-point, Group 9-point or Group 25-point – plus three AF tracking sensitivity/speed settings.
