MAIN FEATURES of the OM-D E-M1 Mark III

Worldā€™s best handheld image stabilization system

The E-M1 Mark III achieves world-leading compensation of up to 7.5 exposure steps when the built-in lens stabilizer is synchronized with 5-axis IS. This level of stabilisation enables shooting in dark scenes, super-telephoto photography without a tripod and opens up new possibilities for photographers and videographers. Without sync, the built-in stabilization system compensates for up to 7 exposures with any Micro 4/3 lens.

Best-in-class image quality with the new TruePic IX image processor and outstanding features of the renowned Olympus High Res Shot feature

Combined with the TruePic IX GPU, 20.4 megapixel Live MOS sensor, high-end M.Zuiko and 5-axis IS new camera reduces noise and distortion throughout the frame to a minimum, even at high sensitivity settings. For users who take high-resolution photos, a 50 megapixel handheld High Res Shot mode is available ā€“ the camera takes a near 50 megapixel picture without using a tripod. With the tripod you can shoot in Tripod High Res Shot mode and take photos in ultra high resolution approx. 80MP in RAW and JPEG format.

Live ND without using an external ND filter

Live ND mode, which has become incredibly popular with the OM-D E-M1X, has also been added to the new camera. User can select the level of effect from ND2 Step 1 to ND32 Step 5 and monitor the Live ND result through the viewfinder in real time.

The E-M1 Mark III is USB PD USB Power Delivery compliant to run the camera on external power, enabling you to shoot for long periods ā€“ particularly useful for astrophotographers and shooting in cold conditions.

Improved sensor dust cleaning system with new coating and high-strength shutter

State-of-the-art Olympus SSWF Super Sonic Wave Filter technology and new sensor coatings like the OM-D E-M1X leave no chance for dust and dirt to settle on the camera image sensor. The E-M1 Mark IIIā€™s high-strength shutter has a minimum of 400,000 Olympus-tested operations, providing a high level of reliability suitable for even the most demanding professional photographers.

Ultra-fast and incredibly accurate autofocus, with innovative Starry Sky mode and Face/eye Priority function

AF/AE Tracking photography at 18 frames per second in full resolution. The subject can also be viewed through the viewfinder in real time.

Joystick multi selector for easier and faster selection of AF zones even when viewing the future frame through the viewfinder

The joystick as in the E-M1X makes it much easier to select AF zones during shooting, especially when viewed through the viewfinder. Because the focus area can be changed in one motion without stopping burst photography, it adds a multitude of possibilities for the user when shooting fast and chaotic moving subjects, such as wildlife. Also adds a setting whereby if the focus area hits the edge of the screen the camera either stops the AF Area on the edge of the screen or moves it to the opposite edge.

Improved Face/Eye Priority Mode

Face/eye recognition mode, which automatically detects peopleā€™s faces and eyes, has received a number of enhancements. The new TruePic IX GPU has greater image processing capability and improved AF algorithms to more accurately detect small faces and eyes in an image, and maintains stable focus on the subject even in situations where face detection has been difficult in the past such as focusing on the sides of the face . You can now also use the buttons or touch screen to select faces when shooting still images or video. Along with its versatile video shooting functions, this mode makes the E-M1 Mark III a great tool for videographers and video bloggers.

New Starry Sky AF mode for extremely accurate autofocusing in astrophotography

Starry Sky AF, a new feature for the OM-D E-M1 Mark III, is a feature that will revolutionise the world of astrophotography. In the past, photographers traditionally relied on manual focus. A new algorithm has been developed to bring even the tiniest stars shining in the night sky into sharp focus, enabling ultra-precise autofocus. One of the two modes in Starry Sky AF is the speed priority mode default setting , which prioritizes the speed of focusing and performing AF operations in a short period of time. Powerful image stabilization makes handheld astrophotography possible with a wide-angle lens. In the second Accuracy Priority mode, the camera uses precise focus adjustment ā€“ this mode is effective for shooting certain stars with telephoto lenses.

Pro Capture mode for capturing the briefest of moments ā€“ even in unpredictable situations

Pro Capture mode lets photographers capture stunning images in the most demanding of scenes, such as photographing birds. Pro Capture starts shooting the moment the shutter button is half-pressed, recording up to 35 frames in RAW buffer full resolution. The moment the shutter button is pressed fully, continuous shooting is activated and the user can ā€œgo back in timeā€ and select the last 35 frames recorded in the buffer.

B Bulb mode is now available on the mode dial for even faster access to Live Composite

The OM-D E-M1 Mark III features Live Composite, which superimposes multiple images recorded at the same shutter speed and combines only the highlights ā€“ ideal for capturing light tracks and preventing overexposure, a common phenomenon when shooting at extra-long shutter speeds. The user can track the progress of the light bars in real time on the camera screen. With the addition of mode B on the mode dial, Live Composite, Live Bulb and Live Time functions are now quicker and easier to activate.

OM-D Movie makes 4K C4K handheld shooting possible

The stabilisation system in the E-M1 Mark III is designed specifically for video recording. Electronic stabilization combined with built-in 5-axis stabilization provides powerful image stabilization, especially useful for videographers. This provides a high level of performance when shooting video ā€“ without using a tripod or any other stabilizing device, even when shooting in high resolution formats 4K or Cinema 4K C4K .

Benefits for videographers

The E-M1 Mark III supports the OM-Log400 feature, which allows you to shoot video without loss of detail in dark and light areas, and adds more color gradation options. To make Live View images appear better, View Assist is available, which converts the color gamut to Full HD BT standard.709.

High-res sound of the highest quality

Connecting an Olympus LS-P4 audio recorder to the camera makes it possible to record high resolution audio from an external microphone or recorder itself. The user can, for example, place the LS-P4 close to the subject or switch the direction of the microphone to record the sound source in better quality. With the new firmware version 1.10 for the LS-P4, released at the same time as the OM-D E-M1 Mark III, there will be two new features: Slate Tone will be useful for editing audio files, and Test Tone will support recording level adjustment.
