Olympus OM-D E-M1 III body Olympus OM-D E-M1 III body
Go further with your handheld shooting style
A fully portable design, coupled with uncompromising image quality under all conditions, makes the
E-M1 Mark III your ultimate tool for getting breathtaking results. Take your professional photography to new heights – from nature and landscape to night shots to videos – without being weighed down.

Excellent grip
The E-M1 Mark III’s grip gives you a more secure hold and sure handling, especially ideal for handheld shooting or when using telephoto lenses. The overall design is ergonomic and intuitive, enabling you to easily reach buttons, the Multi Selector and dials.

In-body 5-axis image stabilisation
Perfect for clear handheld shooting and night scenes is the E-M1 Mark III’s in-body 5-axis image stabilisation (IS) with gyro sensor. It delivers up to 7.0 shutter speed steps of compensation, or up to 7.5 steps of compensation with 5-axis Sync IS available with compatible lenses.

TruePic IX image processor
To realise a range of shooting functions, the E-M1 Mark III has the newest image processor: TruePic IX. Handheld High Res Shot, Live ND, Starry Sky AF, etc. are now possible with just one efficient processor. To achieve the same high performance, the E-M1X requires two TruePic VIII processors.

Handheld High Res Shot
Designed for locations where it is not possible or convenient to use a tripod, this feature provides crisp images and greater noise resistance thanks to a composition equivalent to the high resolution of 50MP. Made from 16 images, it is especially ideal for landscape photography which requires sharp details.

Live ND
Save on space and weight. Built-in Live ND enables long exposure effects in bright conditions, without the need for an external filter. The level can be selected, from ND2 (1 EV step) to ND32 (5 EV steps), and the effect of the shutter speed can be seen live on either the viewfinder or the monitor before capturing.

Weatherproof construction
Shoot in any climate or environment – without the hassle of a rain cover. So you can concentrate only on shooting, the E-M1 Mark III features an IPX1 dustproof and splashproof body which is also freezeproof down to –10°C, a construction highly regarded by professional photographers.

121 focus points
With an autofocus area that covers 75% vertically and 80% horizontally, the E-M1 Mark III can track moving subjects across a wide range accurately. The special cross-type layout lets you hone in accurately on your subject or scene and capture it in sharp quality – both in the centre and at the edges of the image.

Maximum 18fps AF/AE Tracking Sequential Shooting
Capture the right moment with the highly accurate AF, which perfectly follows the subject during high-speed sequential shooting. Shoot at 20.37 million effective pixels, and record max. 76 continuous RAW shots at 18fps – or have a buffer of max. 286 continuous RAW images at 10fps.

Starry Sky autofocus modes
Focusing for astrophotography, normally with manual focus, is now possible with autofocus in high accuracy. Admired by professional photographers, this function is a must for all photographers who shoot starry skies seriously.

Improved portrait performance
The accuracy and tracking performance of Face Priority and Eye Priority autofocus have been dramatically improved. Thanks to the high image processing performance of the new TruePic IX processor and improvements in the AF algorithm, automatic detection and focusing has evolved.

Handheld 4K and Cinema 4K recording
Smooth movies without any camera shake in every situation – it is possible by the combination of 5-axis image stabilisation (sensor shift) and electronic stabilisation dedicated to video. It allows handheld video shooting in high-resolution 4K and digital Cinema 4K (4096 x 2160) without any extra equipment.

OM-Log400
Enjoy more creative freedom in colour grading with OM-Log400 mode, made for post-production and editing. It provides a high degree of freedom during shooting without worrying about overexposure, loss of details in dark sections and highlights.

High Speed Movie (120fps)
Add cinematic dynamics to your movie by suspending the subject’s movements and giving your video a slow-motion perception. At the same time, it is recorded in Full HD quality (1920 x 1080) for breathtaking viewing on a Full HD screen.
