OM-D Movie capability provides powerful image stabilisation for handheld cinema-quality 4K video recording. The E-M1X also features OM-Log mode, providing a flat colour profile for shooting and post production colour grading for videographers.
Highly reliable dust, splash and freeze proof weather sealing of the E-M1X is also great for shooting video. Even when cables are connected to the microphone and headphone terminals the weather sealing is maintained, allowing you to shoot with the need of a rain cover and stay nimble while shooting.
In addition to the powerful 5-axis in-body image stabilisation the E-M1X has dedicated video electronic stabilisation for handheld 4K and Cinema 4K (C4K) shooting. The image stabilisation strength has three levels to allow the photographer flexibility to match their position and movement.
4K recording is available in 102 Mbps and Cinema 4K (C4K) recording is available in 237 Mbps high bit rates. Multi Frame Rate (60p, 50p, 30p, 25p, and 24p) is also supported.

OM-Log mode is now available for colour grading in post-production and editing. OM-Log provides a high degree of freedom during shooting without worrying about overexposure, loss of details in dark sections and highlights. A LUT (Look Up Table) file is also available for grading using Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve.

RAW video output to external equipment is now supported, enabling advanced post-production tasks for video production pros. RAW video data can be output in 12 bit 4K 30P, 25P and 24P/Cinema 4K 24P. It is recorded in Apple ProRes RAW format on the supported external output device.
Active use of On-chip Phase Detection AF and improved algorithms has resulted in precision focusing during video shooting. Group 9-point and Group 25-point have been added to AF Target for shooting video, and AF setting customisation has also been improved.
