Modern chic and astounding performance
A contemporary white and silver metal body and a distinct attention to external detail allows the E-PM1 to ooze style and sophistication.
A superior 12.3 megapixel image quality provides crystal-clear photographs that you can treasure. These vivid pictures are enhanced by a Live MOS sensor innovation which boasts a wide dynamic range, for a balanced, lucid image. All this and a TruePic VI image processor to deliver an intricate depth of detail and tone! This image processor also helps retain a high level of detail in low light and without the use of a flash, which is aided by the E-PM1's ISO 200-12800 generous sensitivity range.
An extremely fast high-speed contrast AF system utilises excellent sensor functionality for quick isolation of subjects and stunning image quality in still and moving pictures.
Have fun with your photography!
Get the most out of your pictures with theme based settings, which can be applied according to your desired exposure. Choose from modes such as Panorama and Nature Macro to draw out stunning hues or soften the tones of the image. Effects such as Grainy Film and Monotone can also be added onto a photo for impressive results!
You can even film HD movies and review your creations or scroll through settings on a high-quality 7.6cm (3"), 460000-dot LCD screen display.
