Olympus Om System OM-3 Body Silver + 12-45mm F4.0 PRO (SKU V210051SW000)

The OM SYSTEM OM-3 is a compact flagship mirrorless camera designed to deliver high performance, flexible creative control and strong video capabilities. It is well suited for cityscapes, street photography and urban nature, offering a powerful combination of portability and image quality. Built around a 20.4 MP stacked BSI Live MOS Micro Four Thirds sensor, the TruePic X processor, and a 1053-point autofocus system derived from the OM-1 Mark II, this small-bodied camera offers professional-level features in a highly mobile package.

Timeless Design with Modern Control

The OM-3 blends classic SLR-inspired styling with innovative, customizable controls:

• Traditional dials are re-purposed to give direct access to key creative functions.

• A dedicated creative dial lets you switch quickly between color and monochrome profiles.

• A single, intuitive “computational photography” button groups together advanced tools such as Live ND, GND, focus stacking and other computational features.

This layout makes it easy to:

• Capture light trails and long exposures even in light-polluted urban environments.

• Combine multiple focus points to create macro images with extended depth of field and rich detail.

5-Axis Image Stabilization

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

• Up to approximately 6.5 stops of shutter speed compensation at the center of the frame.

• Up to approximately 5.5 stops of compensation toward the corners.

When used with compatible lenses that support Sync IS:

• Up to approximately 7.5 stops of compensation at the center.

• Up to approximately 6.5 stops at the corners.

This level of stabilization helps keep images sharp in:

• Low light or indoor scenes

• Handheld shooting with slower shutter speeds

• Telephoto and everyday video work

Video Features for Creators

Designed with hybrid shooters and video creators in mind, the OM-3 offers:

• DCI 4K (4096 × 2160) and UHD 4K (3840 × 2160) recording up to 60p

• Efficient heat management for extended recording times

• Seamless mode switching via a dedicated video dial

S&Q (Slow & Quick) Mode

• Switch between stills, video and S&Q with the top dial.

• Record slow or quick motion with frame rates ranging from 1 to 120 fps.

This makes it easy to create time-compressed sequences or slow-motion clips without complex setup.

OM Cinema Mode

OM-Cinema Mode introduces new video color profiles created to help you:

• Achieve a cinematic look straight out of camera or as a strong base for grading.

• Use advanced settings tailored for storytelling, with more controlled contrast, color and highlight/shadow roll-off.

These profiles are designed to complement the camera’s log and HDR options for flexible post-production.
