About ORF to ODD Conversion
ORF (Olympus RAW Format) is the proprietary RAW format from Olympus (now OM System) cameras, including the popular E-M1 series, E-M5, PEN series, and the new OM-1. ORF files store 12-16 bit sensor data from Olympus's Micro Four Thirds sensors with TruePic processing parameters. ODD is LibreOffice Draw's format for annotated mixed-media documents.
Converting ORF to ODD embeds the demosaiced Olympus photograph into a Draw document for annotation. Olympus cameras are popular for macro photography, underwater photography, and outdoor adventure — all contexts where annotated documentation of captures is valuable.
Why Convert ORF to ODD?
Olympus cameras excel in specialized fields that often require annotated documentation. Macro photographers document specimen details, underwater photographers label marine species, and adventure photographers create trip reports. ODD conversion puts these captures into an annotation-ready format using free tools.
OM System's recent separation from Olympus has created uncertainty about long-term software support for ORF files. Converting to ODD preserves these photographs in an ISO-standard format with guaranteed future readability.
Common Use Cases
- Annotate Olympus macro photography with specimen measurements and identification notes
- Create documented dive logs from underwater Olympus camera captures with species labels
- Build annotated outdoor adventure reports from OM System field photography
- Prepare illustrated scientific documentation from Olympus microscope adapter captures
How It Works
The conversion reads the ORF container (which varies between camera generations), decodes the 12-16 bit Live MOS sensor data, applies Olympus's TruePic color processing and white balance, and embeds the resulting RGB image into an ODD XML package. Olympus's in-body stabilization metadata is discarded as it has no relevance to the static output.
Quality & Performance
Olympus Micro Four Thirds sensors produce excellent per-pixel sharpness despite their smaller sensor size. The demosaiced output accurately represents the TruePic-processed image with Olympus's characteristic clean, neutral color rendering.

Tips for Best Results
- 1Use Draw's ruler and dimension tools for adding precise measurements to macro photography annotations
- 2Create dive log ODD documents with Olympus underwater captures on separate pages, each annotated with depth and species
- 3Export annotated ORF documentation to PDF for sharing with research teams and online nature communities
- 4Keep original ORF files alongside ODD — RAW data allows future re-processing with different development settings
ORF to ODD conversion enables annotated documentation from Olympus and OM System photography, supporting the specialized documentation needs of macro, underwater, and scientific imaging workflows.
