Product Overview

Some photos aren’t about capturing everything in front of you, they’re about deciding what’s worth your attention. That’s where this kit lens comes in. Its 50mm equivalent view is neither wide nor telephoto, providing a natural-looking perspective that puts a person, plate of food or passing detail right at the heart of the frame.

The bright aperture lets subjects stand apart from a softened background and keeps you shooting as daylight fades or you head indoors. At 156g it adds very little to the PEN’s weight, so the combination stays easy to grab on the way out the door, whether that’s meeting friends, wandering a new neighbourhood or simply documenting an ordinary evening at home.

Custom Colour and Monochrome Profiles let you shape a look that’s genuinely yours straight out of camera, while computational tools provide more ways to experiment when something catches your eye. Phase-detection autofocus with AI recognition and 5-axis stabilisation quietly handle much of the technical side, with an electronic viewfinder for stills and 4K or vertical video when a moment calls for motion.

In More Detail

Focus on what caught your eye

A 50mm equivalent view gives subjects presence without the exaggerated perspective of a wider lens or the more compressed appearance associated with longer focal lengths. Rather than pulling in a broad scene, it naturally encourages tighter, more personal compositions around a face, a meal or an object worth a second look.

F1.8 adds another layer of control. Open up the aperture and backgrounds can soften, helping direct attention towards your subject, while the extra light is useful indoors and after dark. A 0.25m minimum focusing distance rounds things out, letting you move closer when a smaller detail deserves more of the frame.

Find your signature look

Monochrome and Colour Profiles put personal expression at the heart of the shooting experience. Four customisable profiles are available for each, with controls for colour, tone and contrast alongside ready-made options ranging from rich, soft and vivid colour to film-inspired black-and-white looks.

A dedicated dial on the body keeps these creative choices right at your fingertips, making it easy to experiment with different colour and monochrome treatments while you shoot. Once you find a look you love, it can give your images a recognisable character without relying on editing afterwards.

Save, collect and share your favourite styles

The free OI.Share app takes creative looks further by letting you build a library of Colour and Monochrome recipes. Choose an image you like, import the recipe and transfer those settings so they’re ready to use.

You can also share recipes with other people, try looks they’ve created and share new ideas as your style develops.

Play with movement, depth and layers

A dedicated Computational Photography button opens up creative ways to capture everyday moments. Live ND16 can blur movement in daylight without adding an ND filter, Focus Stacking is useful for macro and close-ups, while other tools let you layer scenes together and preview the end result.

Handheld High Res Shot provides extra detail for larger prints or more freedom to crop, while HDR helps balance challenging light. For longer exposures, Live Composite, Live Time and Live Bulb give you more ways to play with light and movement. There are also 16 Art Filters and six groups of Scene Modes to see different approaches instantly.

These give you more ways to experiment, from turning passing headlights into trails and smoothing moving water to layering abstract images.

Keep up with people and pets

Advanced intelligent autofocus combines 121 all-cross-type phase-detection points with AI subject detection for people, dogs and cats, helping you stay focused on the moment rather than the focus point.

Keep shooting, even when the light fades

Built-in 5-axis stabilisation reduces camera shake, making multi-second handheld exposures possible. This opens up more creative ways to capture low light and night scenes.

Tell the story with photos and video

A dedicated Still, Video and S&Q switch lets you change how you capture a moment without breaking your flow. Record movies in 4K, shoot vertically for reels and other social content, or experiment with slow and quick-motion sequences.

Colour and Monochrome Profiles carry across to movies, helping stills and footage share the same visual identity. OM-Cinema 1 and 2 provide further options, while a new microphone input supports better-quality audio for vlogging and other content.

Made for everyday life

The body is small enough to become part of your everyday carry, slipping into a bag for work, weekends, trips and whatever happens in between. Its timeless styling, tactile dials and premium detailing make it a camera you’ll enjoy carrying just as much as using.

A built-in 2.36-million-dot electronic viewfinder gives you a more focused way to frame each shot, while the 393g body keeps things light. Dust resistance and IPX1 splash protection when paired with a compatible OM System splashproof lens also mean a change in the weather doesn’t have to end the day. The new BLS-7 battery is rated for approximately 410 images, helping it keep going through days out and weekends away.

Change your view

As an interchangeable-lens Micro Four Thirds camera, you can add new M.Zuiko Digital lenses as your photography grows. Keep things small with an everyday prime, go wider for travel and landscapes, try macro for tiny details, or explore portraits with a completely different look.

You can personalise it too, not just with lenses, but with straps and other accessories to suit how you carry, shoot and style.
