OM SYSTEM OM-3 Mirrorless Camera Overview
The OM SYSTEM OM-3 arrives to deliver flagship-level performance, customizable creative tools, and robust video capabilities, making it a great all-around camera for diverse scenarios such as cityscapes, street scenes, and urban nature settings. Adopting the 20MP Stacked BSI Live MOS MFT Sensor, TruePic X engine, and the 1053 AF points native to the OM-1 Mark II, this compact system proves to be a giant in capabilities.
Timeless Elegance and Innovative Design
The OM-3 prides itself on conserving the timeless elegance of the SLR camera. Its design repurposes the traditional dials to provide valuable access to customizable tools, such as a creative dial that allows easy transition between color and monochrome profiles, an intuitive button that unifies computational features such as Live ND and GND, focus stacking, and more. With easy access to the computational photography button, the user is allowed to harness a wide array of creative tools, such as capturing light trails free from urban light pollution or combining various focus points to capture the wonders and details hidden in the world of macro photography.5-Axis Image Stabilization
The OM SYSTEM 5-axis image stabilization provides up to 6.5 shutter speed stops of compensation for the center and 5.5 stops for the corner. When paired with compatible lenses, the camera supports Sync IS delivering even more powerful image stabilization at up to 7.5 shutter speed stops at the center and 6.5 stops at the corner, ensuring blur-free images in a variety of scenarios.
