This week, OM System announced the OM-5 II, a small, lightweight Four Thirds camera aimed at people looking to take pictures of their adventures. It features a familiar 20MP sensor, but now includes USB C for charging and a "CP" button that gives you quick access to its various computational photography features. Those multi-shot modes are one of OM System's biggest selling points, as its cameras can combine several exposures in-camera to achieve a variety of effects, such as focus stacking, a virtual ND filter or higher resolution. The gallery includes a few examples, with notes about which mode was used.
