Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II Review

Important Note:

1. I am an Olympus Malaysia employee. 

2. This is a user experience based review, based on my personal opinion which can be subjective.

3. All images were shot in RAW and converted directly to JPEG (High Quality) via Olympus Viewer 3, with exception of 40MP High Res Shot which were straight out of camera JPEG (Super Fine)

4. General camera settings, Noise Filter = OFF, Contrast/Saturation/sharpness = 0, White Balance = Auto (with an option maintain warm color = OFF), Gradation = Normal

5. Minimal post-processing applied to the images, with slight brightness/contrast balance tweak. All images were almost as good as straight out of camera, with minimal cropping for better presentation.

Almost three years ago, Olympus shook the photography world when they introduced their first OM-D camera, the E-M5 (2012), which gained favourably positive reception,  It was the gamechanger, the first Mirrorless Compact System Camera to be taken seriously by photography enthusiasts and even professional photographers alike, with the first E-M5 delivering blazing fast autofocus performance, world's first and still most amazing 5-Axis Image Stabilization system built into the camera, admirable image quality output rivalling even the best APS-C DSLRs at the same time, yet having all that in a super small and compact camera body, which is ruggedly built and weather sealed. E-M5 was the camera that ticked all the right checkboxes for what a photographer desired. It was no surprise that much hype has been built up to the coming of the successor model for the E-M5.

The new Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II is officially launched today.  

For the past few days, I have had the opportunity to bring the E-M5 Mark II out for a spin around Kuala Lumpur. I have taken tonnes of photographs, and this time, even video clips with the E-M5 Mark II, and I have compiled the images and videos into this blog entry, sharing my experience and feedback using the camera. If you are new to this blog, I adhere strongly to my photography gear review style which is user-experience approach and mostly non-technical. 

The following are the highlights of the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II in a glance:

1) World's Most Advanced and Powerful 5-Axis Image Stabilization

Olympus was the first to introduce the 5-Axis Image Stabilization system into mainstream consumer photography products, and now the 5-Axis IS has been improved further. 

2) Compact, Weather-Sealed Camera 

Splashproof, Dustproof and Freezeproof down to -10 Degrees Celsius)

3) OM-D Movie 

Ability to shoot smooth cinematic quality video by hand-holding, made possible by the powerful 5-Axis Image Stabilization system. Also, the video recording has improved in terms of quality output, with better flexibilities (1080p with 60 frames per second, All-Intra recording, multiple frame rates 24p, 25p, 30p, 50p and 60p selectable, full manual exposure adjustments during video recording, fully articulated swivel LCD screen, focus peaking during video, and many more)

4) 40MP High Resolution Shot

The E-M5 Mark II has a built in 16MP native image sensor, with the capability of being shifted by the 5-Axis IS mechanism to shoot multiple shots, all then combined into a true singular high resolution 40MP image. 

5) Inheritence of almost all flagship OM-D E-M1's main features

Large Electronic Viewfinder, Super Fast AF with touch shutter, Mechanical shutter speed 1/8000sec fastest, Truepic 7 image processing engine, Built in WiFi capabilities etc

6) New and Improved Features

Full electronic shutter (selectable mechanical, full electronic, or first curtain electronic), higher shutter speed of 1/16,000sec maximum when using full electronic shutter, improved focus peaking implementation

For full specifications kindly refer to official Olympus page here. 

In this blog review, I shall be discussing primarily on the improvements of the 5-Axis Image Stabilization system, the OM-D Movie, shooting clips hand-held in full HD 1080p at 60 frames per second, general shooting experience and image output (AF speed, camera handling, high ISO performance, camera operations, etc) and the 40MP high resolution shot. 

5-AXIS IMAGE STABILIZATION: THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL

For someone who has experienced and regularly used a camera with the 5-Axis Image Stabilization built in, it is difficult for me to use any other camera without one! I know this may sound exaggerated but the image stabilization system has become an integral part of producing high quality image output. With the exception of studio and landscape photographers that fully utilizes the stability of a tripod (or any other type of photography that rests the camera on tripod), I, like many photographers out there shoot 99% of my shots with the camera hand-held. At critical situations, even the slightest hand-shake may cause slight image softness which would render the final image useless, or not as optimally sharp and detailed as it could have been. To me, it has become crucial that a reliable image stabilization system is a must-have, that I can shoot most of my shots without worrying too much about camera or hand-shake. 

Unfortunately, there really is no practical way, or even quantifiable method to justify the usefulness or effectiveness of having a 5-Axis image stabilization system. CIPA standards which we have been referring to as a guide on how effective (how many stops of stabilization) image stabilization system is, were only valid for 2-Axis stabilization tests. In real world shooting conditions, when camera movement can occur in every single direction, the 3 other non-stabilized axis may reduce the effectiveness of the 2-Axis Image Stabilization system only. The simple truth is, there is no way to effectively test how the Olympus 5-Axis Image Stabilization system performs. 

My own ultimate test for Image Stabilization system is by shooting insect macro with high magnification factor. In my macro shooting session, I use one my right hand to hold the camera with a macro lens mounted on it, while my left hand holds the external flash, which is controlled and fired wirelessly off camera. For full technical description of how my macro techniques work, kindly read my blog entry here. 

Why shooting macro, you ask? 

Because, nothing is more difficult in hand-held shooting than trying to steady your shot of a full 1:1 real size magnification factor of a tiny insect, and worse, doing that single-handedly. Even a slight 1mm movement of camera at any direction, your image will be out of focus.

Flash Fired Wirelessly Off Camera

One instant improvement that I noticed when I was shooting insect macro with the OM-D E-M5 Mark II was the huge improvement in the Electronic Viewfinder stabilized view. When the shutter button was pressed half-way down, the image stabilization kicks in for live preview before the shot is taken. This stabilized view has been very useful for macro shooting, and is a huge bonus in aiding to frame the shot. Though the predecessors E-M1 and E-M5 (2012 version) had the 5-Axis Image Stabilization as well, the stabilized view on the older models were still shaky when shooting with higher magnification factors, and especially evident at full 1:1 magnification when using the 60mm F2.8 Macro. However, it was smooth and really steady on the new E-M5 Mark II, and this was surely a huge welcome when doing intense high magnification macro shooting. The added bonus of having better stabilized electronic viewfinder view is the better ability to judge the focusing, when shooting in manual focus. Even the slightest movement can render the image out of focus (movement towards and away from the subject, which is not part of the 5-Axis IS). Hence the stabilized view allowed me to judge the focusing much more accurately. 

To think that the stabilized view worked on the 60mm F2.8 macro, I expected it to benefit longer focal lengths as well. It really did, as anticipated, as I tested the M.Zuiko 40-150mm F2.8 Pro lens, shooting at full 150mm. The stabilized view is much smoother and steadier in comparison to the older cameras (E-M1, and the 2012 E-M5). 

On my limited shooting experience with the E-M5 Mark II, I dare say that the 5-Axis Image Stabilization does stabilize the shots up to full  5 stops, when I am shooting below 100mm focal lengths. I do find that at longer focal lengths, especially shooting at full 150mm on the 40-150mm F2.8 Pro lens, I could get away with about 3-4 stops of stabilization, which is very respectable. Confidently, at 50mm or wider, I have no issues in slowing down the shutter speed even to half a second, shooting hand-held! 

If you have handled an E-M1 or E-M5 (2012 version) before, you will definitely notice the difference of the 5-Axis IS, as you are shooting with it. Besides the improved experience of better steadied view in the electronic viewfinder, the final image quality will gain about at least one stop advantage over the OM-D predecessors.

What is the biggest change between the old and new Image Stabilization mechanism you may ask? I was told that the gyro sensors used to detect the movements on 5 different axis were replaced with newer and more superior parts, with better sensitivities, responding significantly quicker, thus the Image Stabilization mechanism can react more efficiently based on the faster feedback of the new gyro sensors.

14-150mm II,  1/25sec, F8, ISO200, 150mm (effective 3-4 stops stabilized)

14-150mm II,  1/4sec, F5.5, ISO200, 47mm (effective 4-5 stops stabilized)

So the above images show how the 5-Axis Image Stabilization in the E-M5 Mark II performs in shooting stills. How about video recording? Yes, the 5-Axis IS works in video shooting as well, and this shall be covered in the following OM-D Movie feature discussion. 

OM-D MOVIE

When I first heard of OM-D Movie, honestly I thought there would be a movie about OM-D, like, literally. Then when I found out that it was actually a feature on the camera, I thought it was like a magic button on the camera that you can press to automatically improve the movie recording quality, or to a certain extent, benefit the overall shooting experience of video quality. I was wrong in both assumptions. 

The OM-D Movie actually refers to the ability of the OM-D E-M5 Mark II to produce a clean, smooth, stabilized video output, with cinematic quality, just simply by shooting with the camera hand-held, without the aid of external stabilization equipment or rigs. 

Typically, film makers will use some sort of video stabilizers, may it be a simple tripod or monopod, or sliders, jibs and even larger gyro-stabilized huge rigs. All the external stabilization systems are usually large, heavy, takes time and can be cumbersome to set up, and will restrict movement and flexibility of recording. Another not-so-fun fact, the better the stabilization system is, the higher the price you have to pay, and the stabilization equipment alone can cost several times more expensive than the cameras and lenses combined for a video shoot. 

Olympus implemented the 5-Axis gyro based stabilizer, not strapping them around the camera, instead, placing it around the image sensor inside the camera, hence effectively we have a built in gyro-stabilization system. 

I have recorded and compiled a video clip of random things that I come across in a course of a day out with the E-M5 Mark II, and please do bear in mind that I am almost a complete noob when it comes to film making, or cinematography. My knowledge in this alien field is considered non-existent. I think most of you can do a much better job in recording a good video than me. So why bother shooting a video instead? Well, simply because I want to see for myself what the fuss is all that OM-D Movie is all about. I want to experience myself how the 5-Axis image stabilization works in video. 

OM-D E-M5 Mark II Video Recording Test: 5-Axis Image Stabilization

Technical Info: all clips recorded in full HD 1080p60, hand-held only, C-AF engaged all the time with AF point selectable by touching the LCD screen, metering set to multi-pattern/evaluative, shooting in either Programme mode or Aperture priority mode. 

Honestly, I am very impressed with the stabilized video output. Zooming in to full 150mm when I was recording with the M.Zuiko 14-150mm II lens, the video came out smooth and steady, quite an amazing feat. To go further than that, I enabled the digital teleconveter which allowed me to shoot the moon and reveal all the craters! Yes, the shot was a little shaky (due to full zoom +digital teleconverter) but still very usable. On wide angle shooting, there was no issue, even when I did the 350 degrees pan around Jackie, I was actually walking very, very fast, and it was recorded in full 60p. In fact, the whole video was recorded in 60p. Yes, guys, Olympus has been listening all along, now you have selectable 24p, 25p, 30p, 50p and 60p to satisfy your video recording options. 

For a video noob like myself, I rely heavily on Programme exposure as well as Continuous Autofocus all the time. The only time I used Aperture priority and forced the F-number to F1.8 widest was when I recorded Jackie shooting with his E-M1. The exposure was always reliable even in tricky situations, and changes very responsively in changes of lighting conditions. The autofocus was very reliable too, gradually changes from one focus point to another. All the controls can be changed while recording, such as Full Manual controls of shutter speed and aperture, ISO, AF points, etc. The controls can be done mostly through the touch LCD screen, which is convenient. 

I will not comment further on the video recording part, and I do understand that there has been a huge step up for Olympus in the game of video in the E-M5 Mark II. I shall let the real experts do the rest of the talking. 

GENERAL COMMENTS ON SHOOTING WITH OM-D E-M5 Mark II 

I have been to quite a few places and shot many photographs with the E-M5 Mark II.I have tested the E-M5 Mark II in many shooting conditions, low light, moving subjects, people, etc. 

Camera Build and Handling

The camera build is very solid in construction, it felt even more solid than the original E-M5. I like the many improvements of button placements and well as physical dials and button changes. The power switch is now no longer location at the awkward bottom right corner of the camera, it is now at the top left of the camera resting together with the mode dial. I like how the main twin control dials are now spaced further apart and are made larger, with rough texture to add friction against the finger skin. There are now six customizable Function (Fn) buttons that you can assign to your desired settings. Overall the layout is cleaner and more organized than the previous E-M5. 

In terms of camera handling I still feel that E-M1 nails the comfort of handling perfectly. For this E-M5 Mark II, I highly recommend that you add the HLD-8G (just the horizontal camera grip, with the battery pack optional). The added grip helps a lot in stabilizing the camera, with much beefier hand grip. This will be especially crucial if you intend to use larger lenses such as the M.Zuiko 75mm f1.8 or the 40-150mm F2.8 Pro lens.  I have used the E-M5 Mark 2 all day long and I do not feel any discomfort or difficulty. In fact, it was much more fun and easier to handle than the E-M10 or E-M5 (2012 version).

100% Crop from previous image

On the whole, the image quality is something very similar to what to be expected from OM-D E-M1 and E-M10. The camera uses the same 16MP image sensor and similar processing engine, Truepic 7, thus I do not see any jump when it comes to image quality. Even if there was any difference or improvements, it was not noticeable to me, and I regard as negligible.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, considering I am still happy with what the E-M1 or E-M10 is capable of. Image quality is very good, with great amount of fine detail, and good control of noise when shooting high ISO. Olympus color has always been a strong point, rendering true to life colors, and very pleasing skin tones. 

Focusing was blazing fast, and super accurate just as expected from E-M1. I did not test the Continuous AF when shooting stills, as I have always relied on the Single-AF, which never failed me, even when shooting moving objects. I acknowledge that the fully articulated swivel screen benefits video shooting more, allowing shooting from difficult angles, but I personally now prefer the flip up and down screen of the older E-M1/E-M10, mainly due to the ability to do high angle and low angle shots using the LCD live view much quicker. This applies solely on street shooting related approach in photography. 

Shutter sound is different, and I like it a lot.  The mechanical shutter sound is somewhat more refined, and silent, in comparison to the E-M1 or E-M10. Of course now, there is an option to use full electronic shutter (with limitation of flash use being disabled, but the highest shutter speed is 1/16,000sec). I set the shutter to electronic first curtain, you know, just in case someone complains of "shutter shock" which I have personally not encountered so far. It is the kind of shutter sound that keeps you wanting to hear more as you click along. 

Battery life is something that I am not able to report at this moment. I was shooting BOTH videos and stills concurrently within the same day, and I get mixed results. Nevertheless I shall be shooting with the E-M5 Mark II again this weekend and I shall fully exhaust the batteries on still shooting only to see how power hungry this E-M5 Mark II really is. 

The highlight of the past few days was the Thaipusam festival, happening at Batu Caves, visited by 1.7 million people (number correct in 2014). 

I went out of the house at 2am to Batu Caves on 3rd February, shooting all the way till morning and we left the area by 10am. After a quick breakfast I arrived home after 1pm. I slept like a dead log for 5 hours straight after that. A public holiday well spent if you ask me.

40MP HIGH RESOLUTION SHOT

The final item I am covering in this blog review of the E-M5 Mark II, is the new feature 40MP high resolution shot. 

The rumor sites have been over-hyping this particular one feature, which honestly, after using it for a while, I can safely conclude that it is not supposed to be key highlight of the E-M5 Mark II. 

Allow me to explain. The E-M5 Mark II is NOT a 40MP camera, Olympus never claims it that way. The E-M5 Mark II is still officially displayed as a 16MP camera. You will find that through the menu settings, the 40MP High Res Shot is quite buried deep inside the menu system, and people who are not aware of such new feature might not even know it exists if no one tells that person. The 40MP High Res Shot was not placed there as a competition to higher megapixel camera models, and it does not serve to bridge the gap of the megapixel wars. 

However, it would be completely foolish to turn away and say that there is completely no benefit of using a higher megapixel camera. More pixels do result in better quality larger prints, and allowing you to capture and retain higher amount of fine details in the singular image file. There are advantages that a high resolution image can bring, but that really is never the focus on the E-M5 Mark II. Therefore, that 40MP high res shot was implemented as an option for OM-D users who sometimes find themselves needing that extra bit more of pixels for whatever applications that may require more pixels than 16MP. 

So how does the Olympus 40MP High Res Shot in the E-M5 Mark II work? It was all in that amazing  5-Axis Image Stabilization system. When the 40MP High Res Shot is engaged, the image sensor is shifted by the 5-Axis stabilizer by a distance of half a pixel, in all directions. 8 separate photographs are taken in a span of about 2 seconds (could be longer if you use slower shutter speed) and then all the images are merged into one, singular, high resolution 40MP image. This is NOT an interpolation technique, and the 40MP resiolution is true 40MP resolution. 

The whole process of capturing 8 images by shifting the sensor and then combining into a single 40MP sounds technical and complicated, but in real life practice, all it takes was just ONE CLICK of a shutter button for all that to happen. It was easy to use!

To avoid any confusion, all 40MP samples were taken with JPEG Super Fine setting, straight out of the camera, with completely no further post processing. 

There, I provided you with full resolution sample images of all three images shown above, for your full pixel peeping pleasures. 

Before we go on and jump in to say this 40MP is the best trick that ever happened, kindly take note of the following technical shooting restrictions:

1) Tripod use is Mandatory. And you need a sturdy one too. 

2) Shutter speed slowest = 8sec

3) Aperture smallest limit = F8

4) ISO limit = 1600 highest

5) Flash sync limited to 1/20sec (due to the use of electronic shutter)

6) All Olympus unique features are disabled: HDR, Time Lapse, Highlight & Shadow, Art Filters, Live Bulb, etc. 

7) No subject movement (not even the slightest). Moving leafs, water, will result in imperfect image output (pixels do not match at areas with movement)

Kindly take note that this 40MP High Res Shot is not something that can be used in many photography conditions. You are restricted to tripod use, and shooting objects that are completely stationary. 

I will explore more about the strengths and weaknesses of the 40MP high resolution shot, perhaps in my coming review extensions on this blog. 

CONCLUSION

The new Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II actually feels like an E-M1 being forced into an E-M5 body, with added many high in demand improvements and added features. The electronic veifinder (EVF), the blazing flast AF, the image quality as well as all the strengths of E-M1 are found in the E-M5 mark II. 

Yet, the improvements to the 5-Axis Image Stabilization was evident, and a huge welcome, especially when it comes to video recording. Video shooting in the E-M5 Mark II has also improved significantly, fulfilling requests from Olympus users such as multiple framerate options, improved video quality output, better flexibility and controls, and focus peaking implemented in video shooting. 40MP High Res Shot was a a useful addition, in situations when 16MP is just not enough, though the photographer must be aware of and be able to work around the list of limitations. 

On the whole I do feel that many photographers and film makers will find this OM-D E-M5 Mark II to be an interesting camera solution, if it does not completely replace your system, it is not difficult to find a reason to fit one in that spare corner of your camera bag, as a secondary camera. After all, it is offering many unique features, capabilities and solutions to practical photography that many other cameras do not have. 

No cameras are perfect. I do have my own complains, but nothing major so far. I am still very new to this E-M5 Mark II and I shall shoot extensively with it with whatever chance I can find to do so. 

What do I wish the OM-D E-M5 Mark II could have been better?

1) Battery life

I have been complaining about the battery life for almost every single camera review of Olympus, and I will continue to complain, as a voice of a photographer who does use the camera for serious shooting assignment and purposes. I have mentioned that I may need to shoot again this weekend to verify how good or bad the battery life is (stills only, no video). However, I can generally estimate that it did not fare any better than E-M1 or the older E-M5 (2012 version). I want to be able to shoot about 1000 shots before the camera battery indicator starts blinking "low". Currently, with any Olympus cameras, you can get about less than half of my expectation. And I do not like the idea of carrying too many batteries with me for a full day shoot. 

2) 4K Video

Many arguments will arise, for Olympus not having the 4K video shooting option. It is also true that the world currently is NOT ready for 4K video just yet, and we do not see much benefit of having 4K video when 95% or more of the consumers do not even have a viewing screen to support 4K at its full glory. Nonetheless, we all know that technology is progressing very fast and who knows, within a few years you and I will be reading this blog entry in a 4k computer monitor, or even a 4K smartphone screen. Perhaps there are many practical reasons why 4K is not implemented yet, and the emphasis on the importance and usefulness of having a powerful image stabilization is a valid argument.

3) Continuous AF with Tracking performance in Still Shooting

The continuous AF with tracking performance of the E-M5 Mark II is not as good as the E-M1, and this is not a surprise considering E-M1 has phase-detect AF sensors, which the E-M5 Mark II lacks. Although I personally do think that the E-M1 is doing generally well in Continuous AF with tracking, I also acknowledge that it does fall short when put side by side in comparison with some competitors. Perhaps the E-M5 Mark II was never intended to be targeted to photographers who rely heavily on C-AF performance, but hey, we do want this restriction to be crossed off completely! 

I will pick up the E-M5 Mark II again, and do a full day shutter therapy this weekend. I will do my best to push out a review extension after that shooting session. 

I am sure you have many questions, and perhaps requests on features or items of the camera to be tested. If it is not too inconvenient, I would love to try them out and report back here in my next blog review extension entry. Do leave your questions and comments below. I may be slow to reply this time (as I am extremely occupied with work, we are having huge events all day long in Olympus Malaysia here currently, and I am fully involved), I will do my best to get back to you beautiful people the soonest I can.
