E‑M1X Body

0,00 €

The E-M1X delivers the absolute confidence every photographer comes to expect with a professional camera. It perfectly meets the needs of true professionals: excellent handling, class-leading capture and recording technologies, and a system for assignments anywhere in the world, any time of year. The innovative technology and features have been engineered to take the game a level higher: On the outside, the integrated vertical grip gives photogaphers instant flexibility and mirrors the horizontal grip for intuitive operation, including the Multi Selector joystick. While the world’s best dust/splashproof sealing* makes a rain cover obsolete. On the inside, a range of autofocus options and the world’s best image stabilisation**, which has also been specially engineered for filmmaking, deliver the high-res picture quality and precision essential for photo shoots. Videographers also have in the E-M1X a tool for recording life in superb C4K.

*Based on the IEC standard 60529, paired with M.Zuiko water-resistant lens, as of 1/2019
**Based on the CIPA standard, within system cameras, when the E-M1X is paired with the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12–100mm F4 IS PRO lens, as of 1/2019
