Excellent Shots - Effortlessly:
iAuto automatically identifies the scene you're shooting - portrait, landscape, night portrait, macro, or sport - and adjusts the settings to optimize results
The E-PM1 is also equipped with 23 Scene-Select modes for effortless picture taking, including new 3D mode, Fireworks, Sunset, Children, Macro and Panorama, to name a few
There are even three scene modes that are specific to shooting with Olympus? conversion lenses to optimize the performance of those lenses
Three-Inch, Bright Widescreen LCD:
This 460 dot high-resolution screen is big and bright enough to let you shoot and share photos and HD video with ease
Get Wireless:
No need for cables or even a computer
Upload or email images directly from your camera with an optional PP-1 PENPAL or Eye-Fi card
The E-PM1 is also capable of recording stills and video to SD, SDHC, SDXC and UHS-I media cards
PROFESSIONAL IMAGE QUALITY
12.3 Megapixels:
12.3 megapixel sensor is optimized to maximize the performance of all mZuiko digital lenses in any shooting condition
Improvements in the sensor makes shooting in low light and Full HD movie recording possible
Stabilization Technology in the Body, Not in the Lenses:
Say goodbye to blurry images
Olympus' in-body image stabilization technology makes it possible to use any Micro Four Thirds lenses (or Four Thirds lens), from wide-angle to telephoto, for perfectly clear, crisp photos no matter what the shooting situation, even in low light!
Face Detection with Eye Detect:
Nail the focus for every portrait photo, every time
Face detection AF employs an "Eye Detect AF" that adjusts focus automatically on the subject's eyes during portrait shooting and can even be adjusted to focus on the right, left or near-side eye
Face Detection function captures up to eight faces, reducing the chance of blurred subjects when shooting several people at once
Advanced Shadow Adjustment Technology:
You no longer need to worry about the extreme contrast between dark and bright areas in your images
E-PM1's Shadow Adjustment Technology corrects for extreme light variations with high-tech efficiency either before image capture or during post-capture edits

Full 1080 HD Video:
Shoot up to 29 minutes of 1080 60i HD video and stereo sound in either AVCHD or AVI formats
A Direct HD Movie Button switches you from still to movie mode with just the press of a button
In-Camera Art Filters:
Six in-camera Art Filters (Pop Art, Soft Focus, Grainy Film, Pin Hole, Diorama and Dramatic Tone) can be used in all shooting modes as well as filming HD movies
E-PM1 also includes bracketing up to seven images, each image with a different applied Art Filter
Since they're built into the camera, these Art Filters can achieve dramatic results on the go without the need for computer or editing software
Wide Variety of Lenses and Accessories:
A range of interchangeable lenses, accessories and flashes are compatible with the E-PM1 to support all different types of photography needs
3D Shooting:
Add a new dimension to your photographs in any mode from macro to landscape with Olympus 3D technology.
