OM SYSTEM PEN Mirrorless Camera

Designed for photographers who want to travel light without giving up creative control, the OM SYSTEM PEN combines classic rangefinder-inspired styling with modern imaging technology in a compact Micro Four Thirds camera. Built for everyday photography, travel, street shooting and creative content, the PEN features a 20.4MP Live MOS sensor, electronic viewfinder, powerful 5-axis in-body image stabilisation and, for the first time in the PEN series, a dust- and splashproof design.

Whether you're documenting a trip, capturing everyday moments or experimenting with distinctive colour and monochrome looks, the OM SYSTEM PEN puts advanced photographic tools into a lightweight body designed to go wherever you do.

20.4MP Live MOS Sensor & TruePic IX Processor

At the heart of the OM SYSTEM PEN is an approximately 20.4-megapixel Live MOS sensor paired with the TruePic IX image processing engine. Together with the extensive range of M.Zuiko Digital Micro Four Thirds lenses, the camera delivers detailed images with rich colour and excellent image quality across a wide variety of shooting situations.

Its Micro Four Thirds lens mount also gives photographers access to a broad selection of compact lenses, making it easy to build a versatile camera kit without carrying unnecessary bulk.

5-Axis In-Body Image Stabilisation

Shoot handheld with greater confidence thanks to the PEN's built-in 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilisation. The system provides up to 5.5 stops of stabilisation at the centre of the frame and up to 4.5 stops towards the edges, helping reduce the effects of camera shake when shooting handheld in low light, at slower shutter speeds or while travelling without a tripod.

Because the stabilisation system is built into the camera body, it can work with compatible Micro Four Thirds lenses mounted to the PEN. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Electronic Viewfinder in a Compact PEN Design

The OM SYSTEM PEN brings an electronic viewfinder to its timeless rangefinder-style design, giving photographers a traditional and engaging way to compose images while still enjoying the advantages of a modern mirrorless camera.

The approximately 2.36-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder provides a clear view of your composition, while the rear 3.0-inch vari-angle touchscreen makes it easy to shoot from creative high, low and front-facing angles.

Dust- & Splashproof Construction

Designed to be carried beyond the everyday, the OM SYSTEM PEN is the first PEN series camera with dustproof construction and IPX1-rated splash resistance when paired with a compatible dust- and splashproof lens. Sealing has been applied at key points around the camera body to provide additional confidence when conditions change unexpectedly.

Its compact dimensions and weather-resistant construction make the PEN particularly well suited to travel, street photography and photographers who want a capable camera they can keep close at hand. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Creative Colour & Monochrome Profile Control

Give your photos a distinctive look straight out of camera with Colour Profile Control and Monochrome Profile Control. Film-inspired presets provide an easy starting point, while extensive adjustment options allow photographers to create a personalised visual style without relying entirely on post-processing.

Colour Profile Control lets you independently adjust the saturation of 12 colours across 11 levels, with presets including Film Rich Colour, Film Vivid, Film Soft Tone and Natural. Highlight and shadow adjustments and shading effects provide even greater control over the finished image.

For black-and-white photography, Monochrome Profile Control offers Colour Filter, Highlight & Shadow, Shading, Film Grain and Tone effects, along with Film B&W, Film IR, Film Low Contrast and Monotone presets. A dedicated Profile Control Switch on the front of the camera provides quick access while shooting. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Computational Photography at Your Fingertips

The OM SYSTEM PEN brings advanced computational photography techniques directly into the camera, making it easier to create images that would traditionally require additional equipment or post-processing.

A dedicated CP button provides quick access to features including Tripod High Res Shot, Handheld High Res Shot, Live ND, Focus Stacking, HDR and Multiple Exposure. Live ND offers ND2, ND4, ND8 and ND16 settings, helping photographers create smooth movement effects such as flowing water without carrying physical ND filters for every situation.

These tools open up additional creative opportunities for landscape, architecture, travel and experimental photography. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

121-Point Phase Detection Autofocus

Capture subjects confidently with a 121-point all cross-type on-chip phase detection autofocus system. The PEN combines phase detection and contrast detection AF and supports a variety of focusing modes for still photography and video.

The camera also introduces the PEN series' first AI Subject Detection AF, with recognition for people as well as cats and dogs. Face and eye detection, AF tracking and Starry Sky AF provide additional assistance across portraits, everyday photography, pets and night-sky shooting. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Up to 30 fps & Pro Capture

For fast-moving moments, the OM SYSTEM PEN offers high-speed electronic sequential shooting at up to 30 frames per second in supported modes. Its Pro Capture function can begin recording images before the shutter button is fully pressed, helping you capture fleeting expressions, movement and unpredictable action.

Pro Capture can record up to 12 frames before the shutter is fully released, with RAW sequential shooting supported. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

4K & Cinema-Inspired Video Features

The OM SYSTEM PEN isn't limited to still photography. It can record 4K UHD video up to 30p as well as Cinema 4K at 24p, with Full HD recording up to 60p. Its 5-axis stabilisation system can also assist during movie recording for smoother handheld footage.

Dedicated OM-Cinema1 and OM-Cinema2 picture modes provide additional creative video options, alongside OM-Log400, vertical video recording and S&Q slow- and quick-motion modes. S&Q capture rates are available up to 120 fps depending on the selected recording settings.

A recording tally light, external 3.5mm microphone input and HDMI output further expand the PEN's capabilities for video and content creation.

Made for Everyday Photography

Compact, lightweight and designed around the experience of photography, the OM SYSTEM PEN is an ideal companion for travel photography, street photography, everyday shooting and creative content creation. The body measures approximately 125.8 x 74.5 x 43.3mm and weighs approximately 393g with battery and memory card, making it easy to carry throughout the day.

The supplied BLS-7 rechargeable battery provides approximately 410 shots per charge under CIPA testing conditions, while USB Type-C charging lets you conveniently recharge the battery inside the camera when the camera is switched off.

Creative Freedom Wherever You Go

The OM SYSTEM PEN mirrorless camera brings together the portability and iconic styling the PEN series is known for with modern autofocus, image stabilisation, weather resistance and computational photography. From spontaneous everyday moments and travel adventures to carefully crafted monochrome images and 4K video, it is built for photographers who want a compact camera that encourages them to keep shooting.
