Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV silver

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is the camera for mobile creatives. The compact and lightweight body with optimized grip, versatile shooting functions for professional images and powerful 5-axis image stabilization make it the perfect tool for capturing every moment in outstanding image quality. A foldable LCD, which is also suitable for selfies, and a high-resolution electronic viewfinder give users the freedom to express their own unique style anytime, anywhere. Sharing images is now easier than ever thanks to a dedicated smartphone app that also offers content to help you learn photography. Photography for everyone, from families to photo enthusiasts.

Compared to other camera systems, the Olympus cameras and M.Zuiko lenses are often only half the size and weight, making them a real alternative for mobile photographers. The combination of high-resolution, high-performance lenses with the world's best image stabilization enables high-quality photos and videos in almost any situation. The E-M10 Mark IV is the smallest OM-D. With its optimized grip and the latest imaging technologies, it is the choice for anyone looking for a compact solution that can always be with them.

Mobility and powerful 5-axis image stabilization
The OM-D comes in the classic Olympus design and is lighter than ever before. In combination with the standard kit lens, the camera weighs just 476g. The improved grip of the E-M10 Mark IV offers a secure hold and thus ensures greater stability. Thanks to the 5-axis image stabilization integrated in the body with compensation of up to 4.5 EV steps, the new 20-megapixel Live MOS sensor and the high-performance M.Zuiko lenses, high-quality photos and videos, including night and telephoto shots, are guaranteed in almost all situations. Battery empty? No problem, it can now be easily recharged on the go via USB in the camera.

Versatile shooting functions and a foldable LCD for selfies
The E-M10 Mark IV is full of technologies for the precise capture of unique moments, for example at 15 frames per second. C-AF now enables continuous focusing on moving subjects. Face Priority/Eye Priority AF now also focuses on faces in profile or looking down. In Silent Mode, the shutter release and operating noises are deactivated - this is always useful when things need to be quiet, such as during lectures and when taking pictures of sleeping children. In Auto mode, the Olympus OM-D recognizes different shooting situations and automatically selects the appropriate settings. The Advanced Photo (AP) mode even makes it possible to take pictures that would normally require photographic knowledge: Multiple exposures or light trails of stars in Live Composite mode, for example, are captured in no time at all. And thanks to the 4K video function, particularly beautiful moments can be extracted as 4K images. The foldable LCD makes it easier to take selfies and provides support when shooting just above the ground or overhead. The high-resolution electronic viewfinder is particularly helpful in bright outdoor or backlit conditions. The OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is compatible with the FC-WR wireless receiver and the FL-700WR flash unit for wireless shooting in almost any environment.

Practical smartphone app
The E-M10 Mark IV offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth®. In conjunction with the OI.Share smartphone app, photos and videos can be shared quickly and easily. The smartphone connected via Bluetooth can also be used as a remote shutter release. Camera instructions and tutorials are available in the app for learning shooting methods and techniques.

Accessories
The OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is compatible with the wide range of Micro Four Thirds lenses from Olympus as well as third-party lenses that comply with the Micro Four Thirds standard. In addition, various system accessories are available, including customized camera bags, electronic flash units and the free image editing and workflow software Olympus Workspace.

LAOWA 17mm f/1.8 for MFT

Fast reportage wide-angle lens for mirrorless MFT cameras and drones.

The 17mm f/1.8 impresses with its outstanding sharpness, high contrast and high speed. The focal length of this moderate wide-angle lens of 17mm corresponds to a 34mm 35mm lens, the minimum focus distance is 15cm.

The ultra-compact metal housing accommodates 9 lens elements in 7 groups. Together with the SuperED glass element, this produces photos of the highest resolution. The 7 aperture blades ensure a fantastic bokeh and a beautiful uniform 14-ray star effect when backlit.

Thanks to its compact dimensions and very low weight of just 172g, it is also perfect for drone photographers, e.g. with the DJI X5 camera. This is also supported by the premium Frog Eye coating on the front lens, which prevents water droplets and dirt from settling.

Photographers and filmmakers with the MFT system can look forward to a great tool that shows its advantages especially in reportage and street photography, when traveling and for still lifes. The focus is set manually, as is the aperture setting.
