The E-PL5 and E-PM2 both sport 16.1 Megapixel High-Speed Live MOS Sensor and the new TruePic VI image processing engine found on the flagship OM-D E-M5. With this combination, the cameras deliver outstanding low-light performance with a maximum ISO of 25,600 and an increased dynamic range for finer expression of gradations between dark and bright areas. AF Illuminator, the bundled FL-LM1 flash and In-body image stabilization with three modes also help deliver clear, crisp photos in any shooting situation, even in low-light. They also feature the FAST (Frequency Acceleration Sensor Technology) AF system for speedy focus. It provides 35 separate focus points spread over nearly the entire sensor, making it possible to pin-point accurate focusing on small subjects wherever they appear in the frame. High-speed continuous shooting can be done at 8fps.
