Design
1.Has a flip-out screen
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.
2.weather-sealed (splashproof)
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
3.weight
469g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.
5.Has a hot shoe
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
A hot shoe can be used to attach an external flash, as well as light meters, viewfinders, rangefinders and other attachments.
6.screen resolution
1037k dots
A higher screen resolution provides a sharper image, making it easier to review your photos.
7.is a system camera
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
A system camera has many interchangeable components such as lenses, flashes, and other accessories. System cameras offer greater flexibility than compact cameras.
8.has a touch screen
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
You can operate the device easily, by pressing the screen with your fingers.
9.has a flash
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
A flash is good for low-light environments, and can sometimes be used as flashlight.
Optics
1.sensor size
17.3 x 13mm
The larger the sensor the more light the sensor captures yielding in better image quality.
The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
4.maximum light sensitivity
25600 ISO
With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
Fast continuous shooting is useful for catching action shots.
6.has AF tracking
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.
7.has built-in optical image stabilization
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
Optical image stabilization uses gyroscopic sensors to detect the vibrations of the camera. The lens adjusts the optical path accordingly, ensuring that any type of motion blur is corrected before the sensor captures the image.
8.shoots raw
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.
9.Has a two-stage shutter
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
A two-stage shutter can help you take photos like a pro: just slightly press the button for the lens to focus, and then push it fully to capture the photograph.
Videography
1.video recording (main camera)
1080 x 60fps
The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
2.has continuous autofocus when recording movies
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.
3.Has timelapse function
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.
4.has a 24p cinema mode
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
24p is a video format (24 frames per second) traditionally used in cinema. Nowadays, it is used to create film-like motion characteristics.
5.supports slow-motion video recording
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
Slow-motion is an artistic video effect that makes time seem to go slower. It is achieved by recording a video at a higher frame-rate than the standard playback rate of 24fps or 30fps. Depending on camera capabilities, frame rates for slow-motion videos vary between 60fps and 960fps.
6.movie bitrate
77Mbps
The higher the movie recording bitrate the better the movie quality with more and crispier details and less compression artifacts.
Audio
1.has a microphone input
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.
2.has a stereo microphone
✔Olympus OM-D E-M5 II + Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II R
