 The **Olympus E-M10 Mark II**  is a mirrorless camera introduced in september 2015; it features a **4/3 sensor** (17.3 x 13.0 mm) capable of 4608 x 3456 pixels, an **OLED electronic viewfinder** with 2.36 Mpixels and a 3.5 inches touch screen. A feature that distinguishes this camera from other mirrorless ones, is the presence of **two adjustment dials** (in addition to the one which selects the mode and the on/off/flash lever). The dials, like the three Fn buttons, can be **freely assigned** among many functions.
 The camera, in combination with the **M.ZUIKO 12-42 mm pancake lens** (28-84 mm equiv.), is extremely compact and portable.
-| {{:img:pros_icon.png?nolink&36|}}  | Good **viewfinder** with 2.36M-dot.\\ Very **compact size**: 120x83x75 mm, 514 g (with the 12-42 pancake lens).\\ **Two large dials** easily operated by fingers, while looking through the eyefinder; e.g. use the rear dial to choose shutter speed and the front dial to adjust exposure.  |
+^ Pros ad Cons  ^^
-| {{:img:cons_icon.png?nolink&36|}}  | Starting the **playback** requires full activation of the camera.\\ Cannot **delete a range** of photos.\\ Handling the **Mysets** is confusing: saving (overwriting) of the settings can be activated by mistake instead of loading.   |

Can be configured by the user: e.g. use the **rear dial** to choose the shutter speed and the **front dial** to adjust the exposure.  |

It also warms the image slightly which improves skin tones by decreasing the red hue//".
