Product Overview
Some of the best photos come from ordinary days, which is exactly where the new PEN from OM System fits in. Small, simple and effortlessly stylish, it makes you want to bring it along. Friends, pets, trips, café mornings and city streets all become opportunities to create something uniquely yours.
Create a signature look with custom Colour and Monochrome Profiles, experiment with tones, layers and movement in-camera, or switch straight into 4K and vertical video for social media. Behind that playful side is sophisticated technology, including flagship-derived autofocus, 5-axis stabilisation and a built-in electronic viewfinder. Add Micro Four Thirds lenses as your interests develop, and it can grow with the way you create.
The philosophy of this range has always been about making photography as natural as picking up a pen and putting an idea on paper. This latest generation carries that spirit forward for anyone who wants more personality than a phone can offer, without carrying a big or intimidating setup.
Who is it for?
This is for anyone who wants their photos and videos to feel more personal, whether telling stories on social media or simply making more of the people and places around you. It is particularly good as a first interchangeable-lens camera, while premium styling, tactile controls and clever features give you plenty to love, but in a very portable size.
In More Detail
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.
Choose a starter kit
Start with just the body on its own, or choose a ready-made kit to match how you want to shoot:

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the OM System PEN make a good first camera?
Yes. If you love taking photos on your phone but want to get more creative, it’s a great place to start. Autofocus and stabilisation take care of technical work, while the viewfinder, creative controls and interchangeable lenses give you lots more to explore as you get into photography.
Can I use it in the rain?
Yes, when paired with a compatible splashproof lens. The combination has IPX1-rated splash resistance, so getting caught in a sudden shower doesn’t mean you have to stop shooting. It isn’t waterproof though, so it still needs protecting from heavier exposure to water.
What’s new compared with the previous model?
Quite a lot. Compared with the E-P7, the new generation adds flagship-derived autofocus with AI recognition, a built-in electronic viewfinder, 5-axis stabilisation and IPX1 splash resistance. You also get more creative tools, new video options and the OI.Share Profile Library.
What battery does it use and how is it charged?
The included 1285mAh BLS-7 rechargeable battery is rated for approximately 410 shots and charges inside the body via USB-C. If you want to keep a spare ready to go, the optional BCS-7 charger can charge one separately in around 90 minutes when used with the specified F-7AC adapter and CB-USB13 cable.
