OM SYSTEM PEN Mirrorless Camera with 14-42mm III Lens (Black)

Everyday Life, Captured. PEN.

A rainy street. A weekend away. A quiet moment shared across the table. OM SYSTEM PEN turns the everyday into something worth remembering, capturing not only what you saw, but the feeling behind it.

• Your Signature: Bring your creative vision to life in-camera with tools that let you shape colour, contrast, movement, and mood as you create each image.
• Creative Simplicity: Enjoy more control with simple in-camera tools that help add detail, depth, softer motion, and expression to everyday scenes with less guesswork.
• Your Everyday Carry: Take photography with you wherever you go. PEN combines a compact rangefinder-style design with the simple pleasure of having a camera close at hand.

Your Signature Look for Photo & Video

Give every shot your own creative touch. With simple colour and monochrome profiles, along with intuitive in-camera features, PEN helps you create photos and videos that match your vision.

• Profile Control Switch - Switch from rich colour to classic black and white
• Colour and Monochrome Profiles - 4x colour profiles and 4x monochrome profiles
• Sharing Your Film-Like Profiles - Share images via OM Workspace

Creative tools that do more for you.

PEN uses built-in processing power to make advanced creative techniques feel easier to explore. Instead of needing extra gear or complicated editing, you can try effects in camera and see the results as you shoot.

• Scene Modes - Automatically optimising settings
• Art Modes - Art Filters make it simple to give your images more visual impact in the camera.
• Auto Live Guide - Adjust the look and feel of your images and videos

Creative Simplicity

Without in-camera processing, achieving advanced creative effects would require extra gear or heavy editing. OM SYSTEM PEN avoids this by building several tools directly into the camera to expand your creative options.

• Multiple Exposure: Layers two shots into one image, showing the first faintly on screen as you frame the second. Perfect for creative, unique results.
• High Res Shot Mode: Merges several images into one for sharper detail and reduced noise. Use Tripod mode for the highest detail, or Handheld mode for sharp shots without extra gear.
• Live ND: Softens motion in water, clouds, or traffic without needing a physical ND filter, with a live preview on screen.
• Live Composite: Gradually builds light trails over time, great for star trails, fireworks, or light painting. Only new light is added as the scene develops. No editing required.
• Focus Stacking: Blends multiple shots taken at different focus points into one image, sharp from front to back. Great for close-up subjects.
• HDR: Evens out bright and dark areas for a more balanced, natural-looking photo. Especially useful for sunsets and backlit scenes.

Creative storytelling

The PEN brings the same creative personality to video as it does to still photography. Colour and monochrome profiles, simple creative controls, and video-friendly features make it easy to keep a consistent style across both formats.

• Slow & Quick Video Modes
• OM Cinema 1 & 2
• Profile Control
• Vertical Video
• Plug & Play Webcam Mode

PEN pairs fast AI subject-detection autofocus (20.4MP sensor, on-chip Phase-Detection AF, TruePic IX processor) with built-in stabilisation, IPX1 weathersealing, and dust reduction, all housed in a classic rangefinder design with a viewfinder.
