The E-M1X can be used with two batteries simultaneously or with a single battery. The USB charging time with power
delivery is 2 hours for both batteries. If there is at least one battery in the camera, it is also possible to supply the camera
with power via a powerbank. The battery cartridge makes it easy to swap out the battery without removing your monopod
or tripod. With closed cover all connections are IPX1 weather resistant – even when a cable is connected to the remote
cable, microphone jack or headphone jack.

Ergonomics
The E-M1X is built for comfort. It starts with an integrated
vertical grip featuring a deep nger rest that feels secure
and comfortable in your hand. Buttons and controls are
strategically placed for both vertical and horizontal
shooting - use the same nger motion to nd the controls
no matter how you hold the camera.
Button Layout
The button layouts are the same in horizontal and vertical
position. This allows the photographer to rely on their
muscle memory and reduces the chance of mistakes.
Portability
Unrivaled portability that can only be realized with the compact and lightweight Micro Four Thirds System. In comparison
with 35 mm cameras the equivalent lenses are even smaller and lighter. This offers you the possibility of handheld shooting
even with tele lenses and allows photographers to take advantage of the mobility of the system.

Re-Developed AF
Gain complete freedom over the composition and capture
subjects steadily with the 121-point all cross-type on-chip
phase detection AF sensor. On-chip phase detection AF has
no light ux limitations delivering high-precision AF.
Fully Customizable AF
AF customization makes it possible to individually set the AF
target and AF area position for vertical and horizontal shooting.
AF areas can be dened and placed anywhere to deal with
subject movement.
Shift your AF areas quickly and easily with the multi selector
while looking through the viewnder even during sequential
shooting or video recording.
Intelligent AF
The new algorithm is developed by using deep learning
technology – a kind of articial intelligence. It detects specic
subjects and focuses on and tracks the optimal points.
Two TruePic VIII Image Processors make
real-time processing possible during sequential shooting.
The camera can quickly track subjects that move unpredictably.
C-AF + TR and all AF areas have to be enabled.
