RAW video output to external equipment is now supported, enabling advanced post-production tasks for video production pros. RAW video data can be output in 12 bit 4K 30P, 25P, and 24P/Cinema 4K 24P. It is recorded in Apple ProRes RAW format on the supported external output device. See video captured with our newest firmware update.

The Bleach Bypass Art Filter mimics a film processing technique that "bypassed" the bleach step, giving your images a metallic sheen.

Bird detection AF has been added to Intelligent Subject Detection AF, which was developed using AI technology (deep learning technology). The camera automatically prioritizes detection and continues focusing on a bird’s eyes so the photographer can concentrate on framing. Even when the camera fails to detect the bird’s eyes, it detects the head or body for tracking.

C-AF Center Priority can be turned on/off for AF Target modes other than Single, Small, and 121-point. (Default setting is on) Provides assistance in peripheral areas when AF cannot focus on the central area. Effective for subjects that move vigorously. Furthermore, Group 25-point is supported now.

Scheduled to be released around this autumn (northern hemisphere), the following changes for the OM-1 via a firmware update are planned:

Use the processing power of your camera to expedite the development of RAW files with Olympus Workspace* while tethered via USB.

On1: The eye sensor operates regardless of whether the rear monitor is open or closed. Press the  button to switch between the rear-panel monitor Live View display and Super Control Panel display.

TruePic VIII image processor can be used for powerful, high-speed RAW processing. Requires update to Olympus Workspace v1.1. Requires USB connection. Limited to RAW data editing that can be handled internally in the camera. When moving to USB RAW data editing, editing content set thus far in the edit window is not carried over. The file saving format is JPEG only. USB RAW data editing cannot be performed simultaneously while connecting two cameras at the same time. Compatible models are the OM-D E-M1X and OM-D E-M1 Mark II.

On2: The eye sensor does not operate while the rear-panel monitor is open. Press the   button to switch between the rear-panel monitor Live View display and Super Control Panel display.

When you update the firmware to Ver. 1.1, the camera's settings (except the date and time) are reset and menus will be displayed in English following the update.

“Low ISO Processing (Detail Priority)” delivers higher resolution. The default setting is Drive Priority. When Detail Priority is selected, the maximum number of frames taken in sequential shooting is lowered.

The popular Shading Effect previously only available in Monochrome Profile Control is now available in Color Profile Control in your PEN-F body, giving you the ability to create both black and white vignetting.

Single AF (S-AF) enables accurate focusing on the subject even with mixed perspectives. Completely remodeled algorithm for S-AF that does not erroneously focus on the backgrounds
