The OM-D E-M1 is equipped with 5-Axis image stabilization system
with IS-Auto. 5-Axis IS compensates for vertical, horizontal, and
rotational camera shake that conventional 2-axis systems could
not. The new IS-Auto mode detects both vertical and horizontal
panning and automatically deactivates image stabilization on the
panning axis, so you can take spectacular panning photos of
objects such as a speeding car.
BUILT-IN WIRELESS ALLOWING FOR FULL CONTROL OF THE OM-D E-M1,
WITHOUT TOUCHING THE CAMERA!

Using the OI. Share app, you can preview your composition, choose
the AF point and release the shutter; perfect for tripod or
portrait shooting. Connect easy with the QR Code Connection and
add geotags to your photos by simply sending the high-precision
GPS log data recorded by OI. Share to your camera.
LET THE OM-D E-M1 TAKE YOUR CREATIVITY TO NEW HEIGHTS.

The new Color Creator feature lets you adjust Hue and Chroma
right in the EVF and preview the effect "real time". Two types of
HDR shooting enable high-quality images that can easily be
captured with 12EV wide-range bracketing shooting. Twelve
in-camera Art Filters are enhanced by new filter variations, art
effects and bracketing. You can use Art Filters in all shooting
