Equipped with New Functions: ISO LOW (ISO100) and Small AF Target

The new firmware Ver.2.0 that supports ISO LOW (ISO100) and small AF target features is preinstalled.

ISO LOW (ISO100)

ISO LOW (ISO100) extends the ISO sensitivity to lower. It lets you use the widest aperture setting of wide aperture lenses during daytime.

ISO LOW (ISO100)

Small AF target

Small AF target lets you specify a very small area as the AF target. Because it is possible to specify a very small focus area, very fine focusing is possible.

ISO LOW (ISO100)
Small AF target

  • *The new firmware supports ISO LOW (ISO100) and small AF target features, and it can be applied to all OM-D E-M5 bodies. See details in our support website.
