Use your PEN in any weather with no fear, thanks to its IPX1 water resistance rating when paired with separately available splashproof OM SYSTEM lenses. This allows the camera to resist vertically falling water, such as light rain, enabling you to bring it along in all weather, not just on sunny days.
A fully charged battery lasts for roughly 400 shots, enabling you to keep photographing all day without carrying extra batteries.
With a powerful in-body image stabilization system, accurate autofocus, and specialized scene settings, it's incredibly simple to create beautiful, sharp images with your PEN whether it's your first camera or your hundredth. Interchangeable lenses and a larger image sensor than comparably sized cameras provide powerful low-light performance and crisp subject separation for beautiful images in any situation.
An easy-to-navigate user interface and conveniently placed buttons and dials allow you to spend your time experimenting and developing your personal photographic style, not buried in menus.
As you grow as a photographer, the PEN grows with you thanks to a host of pro-level features:
- Continuous shooting up to 30fps makes it easy to capture the perfect moment everywhere from photographing sports in the stands to birds in your backyard.
- Focus stacking and in-camera or bracketed HDR make it easy to capture stunning landscapes and starry skies with just your PEN and a tripod.
- In-camera multiple exposures allow you to create uniquely blended images without any post-processing.
- A hot shoe enables flash mounting and supports synchronization up to 1/250 second with front and rear curtain sync, allowing you to experiment with artificial light to unlock even greater creative potential.
- Thanks to its 20.4MP sensor, images from the PEN can be printed large without compromising on quality. However, when even greater image fidelity is needed, the PEN's High Res shooting mode allows you to combine multiple exposures in camera to create ultra-detailed frames for massive prints or extreme crops.
Switch between multiple color and monochrome image profiles in a second using the PEN's profile control menu. Create sets of color profiles, curves, sharpness, and other settings for different shooting purposes and switch between them as needed to minimize post-processing.
The Profile Control switch allows you to switch image profiles without even looking, ensuring you don't miss the moment while clicking through a menu.
