Olympus Om System OM-3 Body Silver (SKU V210050SW000)

The OM SYSTEM OM-3 is designed as a compact, versatile flagship that delivers high-end performance, creative flexibility and strong video features. It is well suited to a wide range of subjects, including cityscapes, street photography and urban nature. Built around a 20.4 MP stacked BSI Live MOS Four Thirds sensor, the TruePic X processor and the 1053-point AF system from the OM-1 Mark II, this camera combines speed, image quality and portability in a small body.

Timeless Design with Modern Controls

The OM-3 preserves the classic SLR-inspired look while reimagining physical controls for modern use:

• Traditional dials are repurposed to offer direct access to creative tools.

• A dedicated creative dial makes it easy to switch between color and monochrome profiles.

• A single, intuitive “computational photography” button groups key features like Live ND, GND, focus stacking and more.

With this control layout, you can quickly apply advanced tools such as:

• Capturing light trails without excessive urban light pollution

• Stacking multiple focus points for macro shots with extended depth of field

5-Axis Image Stabilization

The OM SYSTEM 5-axis in-body stabilization system offers:

• Up to 6.5 stops of shake compensation at the center of the frame and up to 5.5 stops at the corners

• With compatible Sync IS lenses, up to approximately 7.5 stops at the center and 6.5 stops at the corners

This helps keep images sharp in many situations:

• Low light or night scenes

• Handheld telephoto shooting

• Slower shutter speeds and creative motion blur

Video Features and OM Cinema Mode

Optimized for creators who shoot both stills and video, the OM-3 includes:

• 4K (DCI and UHD) video recording up to 60p

• Heat-managed design to help support longer recording times

• Dedicated video dial to switch quickly between stills, video and S&Q (Slow & Quick) modes

S&Q Mode

• Easily record slow or fast motion footage

• Frame rates selectable from 1 to 120 fps depending on the effect you want

OM Cinema Mode
