Frequently Asked Questions

Which lenses will fit OM SYSTEM / Olympus cameras?

OM SYSTEM / Olympus mirrorless cameras use the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lens mount. This is a broad standard that covers lenses made by both OM SYSTEM / Olympus and Panasonic Lumix – MFT lenses from both of these manufacturers can be used on cameras from both manufacturers, interchangeably! There are also plenty of third-party manufacturers making MFT lenses, such as Sigma and Tamron. You can browse the full range of MFT lenses here.

Which OM SYSTEM / Olympus cameras have Pro Capture mode?

Pro Capture mode is a powerful tool for burst shooting with OM SYSTEM / Olympus cameras. It uses the electronic shutter to enable shooting at up to 60fps (frames per second), and starts recording the moment the shutter button is half-pressed, so you have a greater chance of capturing the crucial moment.

The following OM SYSTEM / Olympus cameras offer Pro Capture mode:

• OM-1
• OM-5
• Tough TG-7

Which OM SYSTEM / Olympus cameras have live composite mode?

The OM SYSTEM / Olympus Live Composite mode is another powerful imaging tool. It lets you monitor a long exposure as it develops in real-time, taking the guesswork out of how long you should keep the shutter open for. The vast majority of OM SYSTEM / Olympus cameras offer this mode – pretty much any recent digital camera will have the mode on it, so you should only have to double-check if you’re buying Used.

Which OM SYSTEM / Olympus cameras are weather-sealed?

OM SYSTEM / Olympus is rightly very proud of its weather-sealing – its mirrorless cameras have a reputation of being some of the most comprehensively weather-sealed around. All the OM-D mirrorless cameras have great weather-sealing, and will keep running in challenging conditions. The Tough TG cameras are obviously fully waterproof – the only cameras to be careful with are PEN cameras, which don’t always have weather-sealing. The PEN EP-7 is not weather-sealed.
