What it is

The Olympus E-P5 is a mirrorless interchangeable-lens digital camera that is part of the Olympus PEN series, which revived the classic PEN name for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras.[1]

The E-P5 was introduced in 2013 as part of the PEN lineup, which blends retro aesthetics with modern digital features.[1]

How it works

The camera uses in-body 5-axis image stabilization, which compensates for camera shake across five axes of movement to reduce blur in still images and video.[1]
