Expanded Olympus OM-D EM1X Key Features:

Improved design and ergonomics

Olympus have completely redesigned the control layout on the OM-D E-M1X. Users can now focus on capturing footage using the viewfinder, which has also been completely redesigned. The viewfinder's optical design now features a class leading magnification of 0.83x in 35mm equivalent.

Navigation has never been easier

Users can quickly shift focus areas using a multi selector joystick located on both the horizontal and vertical positions. As well as the regular lock lever, Olympus have also included a new C-lock lever that allows for quick locking of the controls when in the vertical position.

Enhanced battery life

The OM-D EM1X features the same cartridge insert system as the E-M1 Mark II, which uses two BLH-1 batteries. This ensures that the camera can capture up to 2,580 images on a single charge. There's also the opportunity to charge the batteries in around two hours, using USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) from power sources of up to 100W.

Re-developed autofocus system for optimal speed and precision

The camera's autofocus system has been rebuilt from the ground up in the E-M1X. Featuring a similar 121-point all-cross-type on-chip Phase Detection AF sensor as the OM-D E-M1 Mark II, the algorithm has been improved, resulting in more reliable performance. The E-M1X reads the autofocus information taken from images the camera has logged to make autofocus calculations, further improving the tracking of subjects that move unpredictable and change speed.

All-new Pro Capture Mode

Action and sports photographers will be pleased to hear that the Pro Capture Mode from the OM-D E-M1 Mark II is also included with the EM1X. This mode retroactively records 35 frames from when the shutter button was pressed using a buffer to ensure the perfect shot is never missed.

Live ND Functionality

Olympus have included a Live ND function which essentially acts as a digital ND filter by digitally recreating the effects achieved when coupling a slow shutter speed with an ND filter. Users can select between ND2, ND4, ND8, ND16, and ND32 (1-5-stops) effects.
