NEW LENS ROADMAP
Two new lenses, the M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm F4.0 PRO lens, as well as an unspecified macro lens, will join the M.Zuiko lineup as part of Olympus' commitment to broadening the field of photographic expression. Olympus will continue enhancing its lens lineup to maximise the unrivaled system portability made possible by the compact, lightweight, high image quality of the Micro Four Thirds System.
BIRD SUBJECT DETECTION FOR OM-D E-M1X CAMERA
To help fulfil the growing needs of birding and wildlife photographers and make super telephoto shooting more convenient, development is underway to add Bird Detection capability to the Intelligent Subject Detection Autofocus of the OM-D E-M1X camera. This new feature will be available for the E-M1X via a firmware update that is scheduled for release late 2020.
