With High Speed Dual fast Auto Focus which uses both Contrast Auto Focus and On-chip Phase Detection Auto Focus, photographs come alive, as Olympus touts that their flagship range which has won several awards globally is ready to change imaging as we know it.

The Electronic View Finder is equipped with the latest features available globally making it India’s premier camera in both magnification and enhancement of creativity. Add to this the fact that the camera comes with 5-axis image stabilisation which is a technology no other camera maker globally possesses, and has built in wi-fi, and you have a proven winner for camera enthusiasts. The E-M1 even allows users to take photographs in temperatures as low as -10o c, coming with a weather-sealed body.

Speaking at the launch Mr. Kenichiro Mori, Managing Director, Olympus Imaging India Private Limited, commented, “There are several reasons why we feel that the E-M1 is the ultimate in imaging. We have included features and technology such as Dual Auto Focus and 5-axis image stabilization, which we have pioneered and are the only players in, currently”.
