Olympus OM-D System: Carry Less, Capture More

For sports activities and journey way of life photographer Paul Morrison, the power to seize beautiful photographs with the smallest digital camera system attainable is a giant benefit. “For mountain climbing, backpacking and journey,” he says of the Olympus OM-D system, “the dimensions and weight are very interesting.” And, simply as importantly, “I discovered immediately that the sensors have been simply nearly as good—possibly even higher—than aggressive techniques. I can print as much as 30×40 inches with glorious outcomes.”

“Olympus has been unusually progressive with its know-how,” Morrison observes. Along with the lowered dimension and weight of OM-D system cameras and lenses, he factors to options like Olympus’ superior 5-Axis Picture Stabilization, which compensates for every type of digital camera movement to supply as much as 5.5 stops of correction when taking pictures handheld. As a result of this technique is constructed into the digital camera, it’s at all times obtainable, regardless of which lens Morrison chooses.

For his skilled ski images, Morrison has lengthy relied on a heavier, bigger DSLR, primarily for its pace and autofocus efficiency. With the brand new OM-D E-M1 Mark II’s Twin F.A.S.T. (Frequency Acceleration Sensor Expertise) AF system, now he has choices. The system options 121 cross-type AF factors offering on-chip part detection AF, plus contrast-detection AF. This, along with the digital camera’s superior silent digital shutter, allows the OM-D E-M1 to seize as much as 18 RAW frames per second—with steady monitoring autofocus—on the digital camera’s full decision. With focus locked, the digital camera can seize an astonishing 60 fps.

One other facet of the Olympus OM-D system that has impressed Morrison is its “glorious optical high quality in a smaller dimension.” The M.ZUIKO PRO line consists of seven lenses plus a 1.4x teleconverter that, with the system’s Micro 4 Thirds sensor, supplies 35mm-equivalent focal size choices from an ultra-wide 14mm to 600mm super-telephoto, and all the pieces in between. Noting it’s an excellent selection for panorama and journey images, Morrison has shot extensively with the M.ZUIKO ED 12-40MM F2.eight PRO, which supplies him the equal of a 24-80mm however at lower than half the load of a typical DSLR lens of that vary.

For Morrison, a digital camera system that’s significantly lighter and simpler to hold with out compromising efficiency and picture high quality is the Olympus benefit.
