LCD attachment on the Olympus E-M1X

The LCD screen on the Olympus OM-D E-M1X 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 Olympus E-M1X measures 3.0 inches and offers a resolution of 1,037,000 dots. The panel is touch sensitive.

One feature that differentiates the E-M1X from many older cameras is in-body image stabilization (IBIS). The E-M1X 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.
