Congratulations! You’ve purchased, or are about to purchase, one of Olympus’s profes-
sional-level, mirrorless, interchangeable lens, Micro Four Thirds format cameras: the OM-D
E-M5 Mark II. To simplify references to the camera, we’ll use “E-M5II” in the remainder of
the book.
While no professional digital camera is inexpensive, the E-M5II provides passionate
photographers with a camera that has excellent resolution, an interactive electronic view-
finder, easy-to-use physical controls, and deep custom menu configurability, all at an at-
tractive price. The E-M5II’s strong, all-metal body is also splash proof, dust proof, and freeze
proof. It should remain a reliable camera for years of faithful service.

The small size of the camera allows great portability for a full photography system. The
entire system—including lenses, a battery pack, a flash unit, and accessories—can be
contained in a small camera bag, allowing you to carry a full range of equipment without
wearing yourself out.
The 17.2-megapixel imaging sensor (16.1 megapixel effective), interactive electronic
viewfinder, fully articulated and touch-sensitive live view display screen, 10 frames-per-
second shooting rate, 5-axis image stabilization, contrast detection autofocus, and Digital
ESP metering system allow you to take complete creative control of the scene in front of
your lens.
