The Olympus PEN-F is a mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera in the Micro Four Thirds system, released in 2016. It is the part of the digital PEN series. The PEN-F pays tribute to the similarly named PEN F half-frame 35mm film SLR camera from 1963.
The PEN-F was the first Olympus camera to feature the new, 20 megapixel Four Thirds sensor, which made Micro Four Thirds more competitive on the market. This sensor later found its way into the OM-D series as well, featured in professional cameras like the E-M1 Mark III.
The PEN-F had an electronic viewfinder, which was a new feature in the digital PEN range, and it is still the only PEN camera to have it.[1]
It has 10 frames per second continuous shooting and its fastest shutter speed is 1/8000 sec, it has focus peaking to assist manual focus, and built in Wi-Fi for connection to smartphone or tablet. Its rear LCD is a fully articulated "swivel" rear touch screen with a 1.04 million pixel resolution. The PEN-F comes in two colour schemes: black, or silver.[2]
