help Olympus PEN E-M1 Mark II FAQ
Is the E-M1 Mark II actually an Olympus PEN camera?
No. The E-M1 Mark II is part of Olympus's OM-D line, not the PEN line, and it uses the Micro Four Thirds lens mount.
Why do wildlife and action shooters still talk about the E-M1 Mark II?
The camera was notable for very fast burst shooting, including up to 60 fps with the electronic shutter when focus is locked. It also has 121 phase-detection autofocus points, which made it unusually capable for a 2016 Micro Four Thirds body.
Does the E-M1 Mark II have strong in-body stabilization?
Yes. Olympus built it around 5-axis in-body image stabilization, one of the major reasons the body stayed popular for handheld travel, macro, and telephoto shooting.
What lenses work with the Olympus E-M1 Mark II?
It uses the Micro Four Thirds mount, so it works with Olympus M.Zuiko lenses and many Panasonic Lumix G lenses. That gives it access to small lenses like the M.Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro and long options like the 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro.
