Compatible with Olympus lens with a built-in image stabilizing function.
* The camera body recognizes the IS built into the lens, allowing for optimal image stabilizing effects.
* Not compatible with 5 axis Sync IS.
* You can get the effects of rolling stabilization from the IS function of the body, along with the effects of image stabilization from the IS function of the lens.
Olympus also announced some other stuff:
Olympus E-M10 Mark II Limited at BHphoto and Adorama.
Olympus CBG-11 PR Premium Leather Camera Bag for PEN-F (Brown/Black) at BHphoto.
Olympus CS-48 PR Premium Leather Wrapping Cloth for PEN-F (Brown/Black) at BHphoto.
Olympus ECG-4 External Metal Grip for PEN-F (Black) at BHphoto.
Olympus CSS-S120L PR Premium Leather Shoulder Strap for PEN-F (Brown/Black) at BHphoto.
Olympus CS-47B Leather Body Jacket for PEN-F (Black) at BHphoto.
Curiosities:
PEN-F added on the Matching simulation tool. Robin Wong posted an ISO image comaprison with the E-M10II (“the new PEN-F has finer grain”).
PEN-F has spot metering at the focus point.
We can argue about the price and specs of the camera but I think most of you will agree the PEN-F is really a sexy camera! Here is a collection of sexy PEN-F pictures. You can dwonload them all as ZIP file here.

Alan: “Finally a way to get High Speed Sync using MFT with Godox AD flash!! :) https://youtu.be/2AeRr1UNWz8. Using Cactus V6 triggers to get High speed sync with Godox Witstro AD180/360 using MFT – Olympus E-M5 mkII (possibly panasonic + Fujifilm too but not tested.)
I believe the Godox is also known as Interfit Strobies Pro Flash, Cheetah Light CL-360P and Calumet Genesis GF200”
Bjoern: “Hi I’m Bjorn from Belgium and an enthusiastic amateur GH4 moviemaker. I pre-ordered the new Panasonic 100-400 in the Netherlands for €1699. (Olympus 300 f4 costs here €2600; so the difference in price is bigger here). For making movies of nature and wildlife I prefer a zoom. Wild birds are mostly too far away for a nice close-up, so I’m very excited about the new Panasonic 100-400. I started with the Panasonic 100-300 but was very disappointed in this lens: too soft, too slow focus and manual focusing ring too stiff. The Olympus 75-300 was a lot better: micro-detail is better, focusing ring buttersmooth and a very smooth bokeh. I use this lens not further then 240 mm. This gives me in 4K mode a +-600 mm and the possibility to zoom in till 1440P. You can see the result in a movie I made last October in a little natural resort in the Netherlands: a mix of beautiful landscapes, wild birds and autumn colors. Lenses used: olympus12-40mmPro, Olympus 75mm f1.8 and the Olympus 75-300mm. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0RWZost7vc”

Marc came up with a new project for those of you that absolutely want to have that Barry Lyndon super speed look:
We’re a small fine mechanics company from Germany and have worked on these two ultra high speed lenses for the last year or so. The result is one full frame Leica M mount lens, perfect for mirrorless cameras of any system, and one dedicated lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras. Both are now ready and so we’ve started a kickstarter campaign to make them available. I’m sure your readers are curious to find out more or even get one for themselves. Here’s where people can find our project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1745517054/50-mm-f-075-the-fastest-photographic-lens-in-the-w And here’s where they can find us: https://www.facebook.com/ExperimentalOptics/
