5 axis stabilization

3 versus 5 axis stabilization: Can the Olympus OM-D E-M10 keep up with the E-M5?

31/01/2014 By Mathieu

Be sure to check out our first impressions of the OM-D E-M10, the 25mm f/1.8 and the 14-42mm pancake!

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 is an exciting new camera that will join the OM-D line-up. The more I use it, the more I prefer it to the E-M5, mostly because of its high speed EVF and fast processor, which makes the camera’s operations run all the more quickly and smoothly. This said, the OM-D E-M5 still has some things going for it…one being the great 5 axis stabilisation.

As a fan of 5-axis stabilisation, I was curious to put it to test against the new E-M10 stabilisation which only has three axes. The million dollar question is: can two missing axes really make a big difference when shooting at slow shutter speeds?

Leave your tripod at home! – An Olympus OM-D E-M1 Gallery

28/11/2013 By Mathieu

This week, we have been a little late in publishing our articles here at Mirrorlessons for a number of reasons I don’t want to bore you with. But don’t worry, we are still here, working very hard to bring you as many articles as we can. My special “Mirrorless on the Job” review of the OM-D E-M1 is almost ready so I’d thought I’d give you a sneak preview in the meantime.

During my first hands-on at Castle Leslie, I managed to compare the stabilisation of the new Olympus flagship camera to the E-M5 and saw a notable improvement, which makes this camera a real option for low-light situations. Not only can you avoid using high ISO values, but you can confidently shoot without a tripod if you don’t want to carry one with you as well.

5-Axis Stabilization in the Olympus Pen E-P5: Is it all it’s cracked up to be?

18/07/2013 By Heather

Update: our full review of the Pen E-P5 is now up!

For those who’ve been locked in a dark room for the past two years, there now exists a new kind of internal stabilization that has got camera zealots buzzing. It has the fancy name of ‘5-axis stabilization‘, and was first introduced in the revolutionary Olympus OM-D E-M5. Using gyroscopic sensors, it detects the amount of camera shake. Then, the IS unit built into the camera compensates accordingly, delivering clear, sharp and detailed images every time. The name “5-axis” derives from the fact that the sensor shifts in five different directions – vertical angle rotation, horizontal angle rotation, vertical shift, horizontal shift and rolling camera shake.
