LCD attachment on the OM System OM-1 II

The LCD screen on the OM System OM-1 II is flexibly attached to the body. In particular, the LCD is hinged on the side and can be flipped out for odd-angle shots in both portrait and landscape orientation. Also, this fully articulated, swivel type of LCD attachment is often appreciated by videographers for its flexibility. Moreover, v-loggers like the design because the screen can be turned to be front-facing.

In terms of size and resolution, the rear LCD of the OM System OM-1 II measures 3.0 inches and offers a resolution of 1,640,000 dots. The panel is touch sensitive.

One feature that differentiates the OM-1 II from many older cameras is in-body image stabilization (IBIS). The OM-1 II reduces the risk of handshake-induced blur with all attached lenses, while cameras without IBIS have to rely on optical image stabilization in OIS-equipped lenses to achieve the same effect.
