It cannot be processed using Olympus Viewer 3. 64M RAW data can be processed on the camera as a 40M JPEG image.It can be viewed and processed using Olympus Viewer 3. 16M RAW (ORI) cannot be viewed or processed on the camera.16M RAW (ORI) is the first shot recorded out of 8 RAW images captured.In RAW+JPEG mode, the following three types are saved: 40M JPEG, 64M RAW (ORF), 16M RAW (ORI).Here is the data provided by Olympus on their website: Olympus will (shortly) off er a free Photoshop plug-in which will enable you to open and edit the 64 MP Raw file. It is also important to see that there is no subject movement (like swaying of trees) during the time the camera completes the 8-sequence shot, which takes about 1 second. Note: It is important to use a steady tripod when using the Super High Resolution feature. Landscape photographers who desire immense details in their images and studio photographers are sure to love this exciting feature. When enabled, the camera takes 8 shots at a single press of the shutter release button (it moves the imaging sensor by 0.5 pixel between each shot) to generate a high-resolution 40/64-megapixel equivalent image. Special mention should be made of a new classy feature – Super High Resolution – that lets you create a 40-megapixel equivalent JPEG image (though the sensor resolution is 16 MP) and 64 megapixel equivalent Raw. The Mark II’s Live MOS sensor retains details in shadows and captures high contrast scenes well. The processor also reduces digital noise at higher ISO sensitivities. TruePic VII’s Real Colour Technology(Olympus’s proprietary image processing technology) is able to reproduce certain colours (emerald green and certain shades of yellow) which are thought to be difficult to reproduce. The TruePic VII image processor optimizes image sharpness according to the optical characteristics of the attached lens and the aperture used. The processor is designed to bring out the very best from M.Zuiko lenses. The EM-5 Mark II uses Olympus’ TruePic VII image processor – the same used on the OM-D fl agship model, the EM-1. The EM-5 Mark II uses a vari-angle touch-screen LCD that makes it very easy to select your autofocus point, aperture as well as the shutter speed. Olympus also claim that the OM-5 II has the world’s shortest time lag due to its superfast autofocussing. The image stabilizer uses an ultra-sensitive Voice Coil Motor that offers, in still photography, a 5-stop advantage (when used with the 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 EZ lens) and also helps to improve video quality even when the camera is handheld. Its 5-axis image stabilization, also found in the EM-5, has been improved. The EM-5 Mark II body is dust-proof, freeze-proof (up to -10 degrees Celsius) and splash-proof (not water-proof you can’t use it underwater or in pouring rain without a suitable housing). Th ough the earlier model has 12 presets for White Balance, personally I don’t see the 7 presets in the Mark II as a step backward. However, we shall see the key features and compare the Mark II with the earlier model. The EM-5 Mark II is a feature-filled camera and mentioning all of them here is beyond the scope of this review. Th e body is made in Vietnam and weighs approximately 469 g with the battery and memory card. Some users, especially those with large hands, and those used to chunky, heavy D-SLRs may find the body rather small. A nice hand grip on the right assures a positive grip. The outer body is made with engineering plastic and magnesium alloy. In two words, very good! Those who owned the OM-1 film camera will surely feel nostalgic about the EM-5 II. Let’s put the new baby through our gruelling tests… Various other improvements are on off er. Added to this is a new feature that offers an output equivalent to 40 megapixels (JPEG), 64 megapixel (Raw). Olympus claim that they have improved the image stabilization system which was already considered to be the best (in the EM-5), not only for ‘stills’ but also for video. The new model is a replacement for the tried and tested OM-D EM-5. Olympus India Imaging launched the 16 megapixel OM-D EM-5 Mark II on 19th March 2015 in Mumbai.
