OM SYSTEM PEN with M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 III Lens Silver

Classic Style. Everyday Versatility.

The silver OM SYSTEM PEN combines timeless rangefinder-inspired styling with a compact 1442mm zoom lens, creating a complete everyday photography kit that is ready to use from the moment you add a memory card.

Its 20.4MP Live MOS sensor, 5-axis image stabilisation and intelligent phase-detection autofocus deliver sharp, detailed results without the weight of a traditional camera system. The included M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 III covers a versatile 2884mm equivalent range, making it equally suited to travel, street photography, landscapes, portraits and everyday moments.

Customisable Colour and Monochrome Profiles help you create a distinctive look straight out of the camera, while powerful computational photography tools make traditionally complicated techniques easier to explore.

A Versatile Lens for Everyday Photography

The included M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 III provides the equivalent field of view of a 2884mm lens on a full-frame camera.

At 14mm, it captures a wide perspective suited to landscapes, architecture, interiors and travel. Zooming towards 42mm provides more natural framing for people, portraits and everyday details.

This useful focal range makes the kit an excellent starting point for new photographers and a capable lightweight option for experienced users who want to travel with less equipment.

Compact Enough to Take Everywhere

Together, the PEN and compact 1442mm lens create a highly portable interchangeable-lens camera system.

The camera weighs approximately 393g with its battery and memory card, while the lens adds just 125g. This makes the complete kit comfortable to carry throughout the day and much less likely to be left behind when an unexpected photographic opportunity appears.

Despite its compact size, the Micro Four Thirds mount gives you access to an extensive selection of additional lenses as your interests and photography develop.

Create Your Own Signature Look

Dedicated Colour and Monochrome Profile controls let you create a distinctive appearance without relying on extensive editing.

Individual colours, highlights, shadows, contrast and grain can be adjusted to suit your preferred style. Create vibrant travel photographs, soft cinematic colour, rich portrait tones or characterful black-and-white images directly within the camera.

Profiles can also be saved and shared through the OI.Share app, making it easy to discover new looks and maintain a consistent finish across a collection of images.

Detailed 20.4MP Images

A 20.4MP Four Thirds Live MOS sensor captures detailed photographs with natural colour and plenty of resolution for printing, cropping and online sharing.

The TruePic IX processor supports responsive operation, advanced autofocus and OM SYSTEMs extensive computational photography features.

A Supersonic Wave Filter helps remove dust from the sensor whenever the camera starts, reducing the likelihood of visible marks appearing in photographs.

Powerful 5-Axis Image Stabilisation

The PENs built-in 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilisation provides up to 5.5 stops of compensation at the centre of the frame.

This is particularly valuable with the included 1442mm lens, which relies on the cameras stabilisation system. The camera helps produce sharper handheld photographs throughout the zoom range while supporting smoother video footage.

It also gives you greater freedom to photograph in low light or experiment with slower shutter speeds without immediately reaching for a tripod.

Fast, Intelligent Autofocus

A 121-point all-cross-type phase-detection autofocus system provides fast and dependable focusing across the frame.

AI-powered subject detection recognises people, dogs and cats, helping the camera locate and follow the intended subject. Face and eye detection make portraits and family photographs easier, while continuous autofocus and tracking support moving subjects.

The system allows beginners to achieve reliable results quickly while still providing the control experienced photographers expect.

Built-In Electronic Viewfinder

The integrated 2.36-million-dot OLED viewfinder provides a clear and immersive way to compose your photographs.

It remains easy to use in bright daylight and lets you preview exposure, colour profiles and creative effects before taking the picture. You can also compose using the rear screen whenever that better suits the subject or shooting angle.

Vari-Angle Touchscreen

The 3-inch vari-angle touchscreen can be positioned for high, low and front-facing compositions.

Touch focusing and touch-shutter control make the camera quick and intuitive to operate, while the articulated design supports discreet street photography, self-recording, vertical content and unusual creative angles.

Impressive Close-Focusing Performance

The 1442mm III lens can focus as close as 13cm at its widest setting, making it surprisingly capable when photographing food, flowers and everyday details.

It offers maximum magnification of 0.26 at 14mm and 0.19 at 42mm. On Micro Four Thirds, this provides a full-frame-equivalent magnification of approximately 0.53 and 0.38 respectively.

This close-focusing ability adds another layer of versatility to an already practical everyday zoom.

Computational Photography Made Simple

A dedicated Computational Photography control places several advanced creative functions within easy reach:

• 50MP Handheld High Res Shot: Combines multiple exposures to create a high-resolution image without requiring a tripod

• Live ND: Simulates neutral-density filters up to ND16 for creative movement effects

• Live Composite: Builds long exposures while controlling bright areas, ideal for light trails and night photography

• Focus Stacking: Combines several focus distances for increased depth of field

• Pro Capture: Records frames from before the shutter is fully pressed

• HDR: Combines exposures to preserve highlight and shadow detail

• Starry Sky AF: Simplifies focusing during night-sky photography

These tools help achieve creative results in-camera that would traditionally require specialist filters, careful manual technique or extensive editing.

Capture Fleeting Moments

The PEN can shoot at up to 30 frames per second using its electronic shutter, with focus and exposure fixed from the first frame.

Pro Capture begins buffering images while the shutter button is half-pressed, then saves frames from immediately before it is pressed fully. This provides a better chance of capturing unpredictable movements from pets, wildlife and children.

An electronic shutter speed of up to 1/32,000 second also provides greater control when photographing in bright conditions.

Creative 4K Video

Record detailed 4K video at up to 30p or Cinema 4K footage at 24p. Vertical recording is available for social content, while dedicated Still, Video and Slow & Quick Motion controls make changing formats straightforward.

OM-Log400 preserves a wider tonal range for colour grading. OM-Cinema1 and OM-Cinema2 profiles provide cinematic looks with less post-production, while the 3.5mm microphone input supports compatible external microphones for improved sound.

Ready for Changing Weather

Both the OM SYSTEM PEN and the included M.Zuiko 14-42mm III lens offer IPX1-rated splash resistance when used together.

This provides added confidence when photographing in light rain and unpredictable conditions. The lens also features dust-resistant construction, making this an especially practical combination for travel and outdoor photography.

Stay Connected

Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connect the camera to a compatible smartphone through the OI.Share app.

Photographs can be transferred for quick sharing, while Colour and Monochrome Profiles can be saved and exchanged through the Profile Library. Remote control also makes tripod-mounted photography, group pictures and self-portraits easier.

BLS-7 Battery

The supplied BLS-7 rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides approximately 410 photographs per charge according to CIPA testing.

The battery can be charged inside the camera through USB while the camera is switched off. USB power support also provides additional flexibility during extended photography or video sessions.
