FAQs
Is the OM-5 Mark II fully waterproof?
It is IP53-rated, meaning it is splash-proof and dust-proof, but it should not be submerged in water.
Can I use older Four Thirds lenses with this camera?
Yes, you can use older lenses with an appropriate adapter, though autofocus performance may vary depending on the lens model.
Does the camera support video recording over 30 minutes?
Yes, the OM-5 Mark II allows for extended recording, but be mindful of battery consumption and potential heat generation.
What memory card type does it use?
It uses standard SD cards, preferably UHS-II for the best performance when recording 4K video.
How do I update the firmware?
Firmware updates are performed using the OM Workspace software on a computer via a USB connection.
Troubleshooting
Camera will not charge via USB-C
Ensure you are using a power delivery (PD) compliant cable and power adapter, and check that the camera is turned off during charging.
Image stabilization seems ineffective
Verify that the stabilization is turned on in the main menu and that the lens being used does not conflict with in-body settings.
HighRes Shot results in a blurry image
Ensure the camera is held as steady as possible; while it is handheld capable, significant motion during the multi-frame capture can cause artifacts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your camera, ensure the battery is fully charged via the USB-C port before your first outing. The OM-5 is compatible with a wide range of Micro Four Thirds lenses, allowing for a versatile kit that remains compact. To maintain the IP53 weather-sealed rating, ensure the battery door and port covers are firmly closed before exposing the camera to dust or moisture. Clean the sensor using only air blowers designed for optical equipment, and avoid using abrasive cloths on the lens elements. Always store the camera in a dry, cool environment when not in use for extended periods.
