Splashproof, Dustproof and Freezeproof Construction
OM-D E-M1X underwent a stricter splash proof test and was developed and designed to enable pro photographers to shoot in more punishing environments. It remains splash/dust/freezeproof even when a cable is connected to the remote cable, microphone or headphone terminal. Rubber materials from the Tough series are used to seal the SD card slot and each cover for keeping water out and achieving better splashproof and dustproof performance. Shoot without fear of the weather and without the need for a rain cover.
Dust Reduction System
The Supersonic Wave Filter (SSWF) oscillates at over 30,000 times per second to instantly eliminate dust and dirt. The SSWF enables secure changing of lenses even in dusty environments. The liklihood of dust being captured in shot is reduced to 1/10th that of conventional coatings.

The new gyro sensor is designed to achieve five times the conventional models IS detection accuracy by using together with the 12-100 mm F4.0 IS PRO to deliver approximately up to 7.5 shutter speed steps of compensation or using the body alone to offer approximately 7.0 steps of compensation. Olympus' unique image stabilization that can't be mimicked by competitors.
Tripod High Res Shot
High Res Shot captures very high resolution images equivalent to a 50M sensor (80M in RAW format).
Suppress arifacts caused by subject movement, such as rippling water surfaces or leaves shaking in the wind. The camera moves the sensor in 0.5 pixel increments while capturing eight shots, which are then used to generate a single high-resolution shot equal to that captured with a 50M sensor. 80M RAW shooting is also available.
Handheld High Res Shot
50M Handheld High Res Shot.
High Res Shot shows its worth in places where tripods aren't allowed or can't be used. The minimal movement occurring between each of the 16 shots as a result of handheld shooting is utilized in generating a single high-resolution shot equal to that captured by a 50M sensor.
Live ND
Incorporates slow shutter effects even without using the ND filter. View slow shutter effects in the viewfinder before shooting.
Live ND Technology
