Olympus announced the OM-D E-M1 three months ago but at the time itwas still indevelopment so its specification was subject to change. The camera is now available to pre- order and its impressive features list is confirmed. Most camera brands are striving for ever more rapid shooting rates. For Olympus this meant revisiting its core technologies; thus the OM-D E-M1 Mark II boasts a new sensor as well as a redesigned-from
the-ground-up autofocus system which features 121 cross-point sensors. These innovations have allowed a continuous shooting rate of 60 frames-per-second capturing full-size Raws in single AF with the camera’s Pro Capture mode using its silent electronic shutter. With continuous AF tracking this drops to 18 frames-per-second. Use the mechanical shutter and you get 15 frames-per-second in continuous shooting with single AF.
In Pro Capture, partially depress the shutter button and the camera buffers full resolution files and when the shutter is fully depressed to start shooting, the previous 14 frames are also captured to help you capture the decisive moment. Fast shooting is just one aspect of this astonishing camera so turn to page 3 to read more and to page 54 for a full review of this top CSC.
