OM System registered a new IM042 digital camera in Asia (a new PEN is coming?)

OM System has officially registered a new camera with the Singapore PMREQ agency under the internal code IM042 (digital camera certification ESER/26/3353). The “IM” is OM Digital Solutions’ standard prefix for IMDA registration codes. “042” is the sequential model number in that internal naming system, placing this camera in a distinct position from prior registered models. The ESER route confirms the camera has at minimum Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth connectivity, which is standard for any current OM System interchangeable-lens camera. Here are the previous OM System camera registrations:
