Background and Identification

Introduced in 2014, the Olympus OM-D E-M10 is the third model in the OM-D series of compact, mirrorless, interchangeable-lens cameras. As part of the OM-D series, the E-M10 is of the Micro Four Thirds type, a standard released by Olympus and Panasonic in 2008 for the design and development of mirrorless and interchangeable lens digital cameras, camcorders, and lenses.

Aimed at a lower price point than its predecessors, the OM-D E-M5 and the OM-D EM1 models, some features of the previous models are not included such as weather sealing, a 3-way image stabilizer instead of a 5-way image stabilizer, and the use of a BLS-1 battery instead of the BLN-1 models. The E-M10 was succeeded by the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II in 2015.
