Product Information

The E-M5 Mark III and E-M1 Mark II have fully-articulating touchscreens which offer far more freedom of movement – including front-facing. Overall the Mark III’s upgrades may seem subtle at first glance, but the enhancements to the menus and controls transform its use (especially for beginners), while the addition of 4k brings it up to date.

All three of these cameras have very capable 5-axis in-body stabilization systems – but there are differences. Wouldn’t it be nice to effectively stop one part of the exposure while you wait to complete another part? The histogram updates its graph for every scheduled peek and it’s great fun to see it gradually move from left to right, filling the shadows, then the mid-tones and finally the highlights during a long exposure.One of the main aspects of the E-M10 Mark IV we wanted to test was how well the Continuous AF worked. Olympus has also sensibly moved the bracketing options from their previous location in the menus to their new home in the AP mode where you can choose from exposure or focus bracketing.

As well as the ability to manually set a Kelvin adjustment, there are four easily accessible slots for custom WB. Olympus's clever Live Bulb, Live Time and Live Composite modes which make light work of long exposure shots are also present. The OM-D E-M10’s 324-zone multi-pattern sensing system offers multi, centreweighted and spotmetering modes but there’s also spot-highlight (Hi Spot) and spot-shadow (SH-Spot) for achieving correct highlight and shadow tonality in problematic scenes such as snowy vistas or dark subjects on light backgrounds. Note the USB tethering to a Mac or PC using Olympus Capture software is not supported on the EM10 III – you’ll need to go for the EM5 II or EM1 for that. sensor found in the previous flagship cameras (the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III and Olympus OM-D E-M1X) –both of which featured phase detect autofocus.An increase in megapixel count has the potential to increase image noise, as smaller pixels are usually less light-sensitive. The 5-axis image stabilization was even more impressive when we tried out the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV’s video functionality, providing smooth footage when walking with the camera handheld. Here’s a handheld before and after shot to show you the kind of thing that’s possible with a wide lens pointing upwards taken from exactly the same position, and with the same lens and focal length. Annoyingly the AP mode isn’t available in the smartphone app, so you can’t use your phone to trigger a bracketed sequence either.
