History

On 30 September 2020, Olympus announced that it had entered into an agreement with financial investor Japan Industrial Partners (JIP) to transfer the Olympus Imaging division to a newly established wholly owned subsidiary of Olympus.[3] This subsidiary was named OM Digital Solutions.[4] On 1 January 2021, 95% of the shares in OM Digital Solutions were transferred to OJ Holdings, Ltd, a specially established subsidiary of JIP. Olympus retained ownership of the remaining 5%.[2]

In 2021, OM Digital Solutions reported that all its products would be rebranded from Olympus to OM System.[5] The new name is a reference to the Olympus OM system.[citation needed]

Products

Initially, the company continued production of products that were launched under Olympus ownership. The first product launched by the newly formed company was the Olympus PEN E-P7 in June 2021. In February 2022, OMDS introduced the OM System OM-1 Micro Four Thirds camera to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original Olympus OM-1.[6] In November 2022 OMDS released the OM System OM-5, a successor to the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III, and in February 2025 introduced the OM System OM-3,[7] a retro-styled Micro Four Thirds camera with the same sensor as the OM-1 Mark II.[8]
