Frequently Asked Questions - OM-1 Mark II OLYMPUS
How do I charge the battery?
Use the BCX-1 charger supplied with the camera. Insert the BLX-1 battery into the charger and plug into a power outlet. The indicator light will turn red during charging and green when complete.
Can I use the camera in heavy rain?
Yes, the OM-1 Mark II is weather-sealed to IP53 standards, meaning it is dust-proof and splash-proof. However, it is not submersible. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and dry the camera promptly.
How do I activate the Starry Sky AF?
Go to the shooting menu and select the AF mode. Choose "Starry Sky AF" from the options. This mode is optimized for focusing on stars and can be used with compatible lenses.
What memory cards are compatible?
The OM-1 Mark II supports UHS-II SDXC/SDHC memory cards. For best performance, use high-speed cards (e.g., V60 or V90) when shooting 4K video or high-speed burst.
How do I clean the sensor?
The camera has a built-in sensor cleaning system that vibrates the image stabilizer to shake off dust. To activate it, go to Setup menu > Pixel Mapping/Dust Reduction > Sensor Cleaning. For stubborn dust, use a manual cleaning kit or send to service.
What is the Pro Capture feature?
Pro Capture records up to 35-90 frames (depending on setting) starting half a second before you fully press the shutter. This ensures you never miss the decisive moment, especially for action and wildlife.
Can I charge the battery via USB?
No, the OM-1 Mark II does not support USB charging. You must remove the battery and charge it with the external BCX-1 charger.
How do I update the firmware?
Download the Olympus Workspace app or the latest firmware from the Olympus website. On a computer, connect the camera via USB and use the app to update. Alternatively, use the in-camera Wi-Fi with the Olympus iOS/Android app.
What lenses are recommended for astrophotography?
Wide-angle lenses with fast apertures are ideal, such as the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/1.2 PRO or the M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm f/4 PRO. The Starry Sky AF works best with lenses of f/1.2 or faster.
How do I reset the camera to factory settings?
Go to Setup menu (wrench icon) and select "Reset". Choose "Full Reset" to restore all settings to factory defaults. Note that this will also reset custom modes and Wi-Fi settings.
