The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Micro Four Thirds was the third model in the OM-D series of compact, mirrorless, interchangeable lens cameras. It was introduced in January 2014.
Contents
The model was aimed at a lower price point in the market than the preceding OM-D E-M5 and OM-D E-M1 models. Some features of the previous models were not included, such as weather sealing and the E-M10 had only a 3-way image stabiliser instead of the other models' 5-way stabiliser.
The E-M10 used the BLS-1 battery first supplied with the earlier E-P1/2 compact mirrorless cameras rather than the BLN-1 used by the OM-D E-M5 and E-M1 models.
Specification and Features
Successor
The Olympus OM-D E-M10 II was announced on August 25th, 2015. The updated model retained a 16 megapixel sensor but added the 5-axis image stabilization system of the more up-market models, a 2.36M-dot OLED EVF, a "AF Targeting Pad" mode which allows you to use your thumb to move the focus point on the touchscreen LCD while you keep your eye glued to the viewfinder, a 4K video timelapse mode which allows for up to 999 frames at 5 fps that the camera will combine into a 4K video all in-camera (a big upgrade from the 720p maximum resolution of the original model), a "silent mode" using only an electronic shutter offering exposure times as low as 1/16,000 second, and improved ergonomics (mainly the rear dial placement).
Various software updates were applied in the newer model including correction for rolling blur that affects both low-light shooting as well as horizontal and vertical shift blur that can mar macro shots.
