TRUEPIC™ IX

This fast powerful processor drives the compact E-M1 Mark III’s superior image quality, producing sharpness and vibrant color.

The core of the E-M1 Mark III is an advanced new image processing engine. Olympus's TruePic™ IX delivers blazing-fast processing while ensuring world-class image quality. Your stills and video will have astoundingly rich, accurate color, low noise, and vibrant gradations. Olympus's processor uses a new AF algorithm to power features including Handheld High Res Shot Mode, in-camera Live ND, Starry Sky AF Mode, and Advanced Face / Eye Priority Autofocus.

20MP LIVE MOS SENSOR

The E-M1 Mark III’s high-speed 20MP Live MOS Image Sensor pairs with the TruePic™ IX processor and the superior optics of M.Zuiko lenses to produce world-class image quality in all types of shooting situations.

HANDHELD HIGH RES SHOT / TRIPOD HIGH RES SHOT

Easily capture super-high-resolution images using the E-M1 Mark III’s High Res Shot Modes. With Handheld High Res Shot Mode, the camera automatically captures 16 shots in under a second, then merges them into a single 50MP image - no tripod needed. Or, use Tripod High Res Shot Mode to instantly capture 8 shots and create an incredible 80MP image.

LIVE ND

Leave your ND filters at home. Use the in-camera Live ND Mode to preview slow shutter effects in the electronic viewfinder or LCD monitor. Choose your level of ND from 1 step to 5 steps before capturing your perfect image. Live ND Mode virtually extends the exposure time, allowing image capture with the effect of slow shutter speed by automatically merging multiple exposures.

BUILD YOUR SYSTEM

Olympus created the E-M1 Mark III, now make it yours. It belongs to a large, expanding system of lenses and accessories to let you be your best at any type of photography. You’ll find everything from a battery grip to flashes and teleconverters to accessories that capture high-quality video. Whatever you need for a project or trip, the Olympus OM-D system has what you’re looking for.

BAD WEATHER HAPPENS. YOUR CAMERA’S READY.

Built-in weather-sealing and other features let you concentrate on getting your best shot instead of worrying about your camera gear.

WEATHERSEALED & DUST REDUCTION

Never worry about shooting in bad weather or changing lenses in sub-par conditions.

Skip the protective gear. The E-M1 Mark III features best-in-class IPX1 weather protection thanks to durable magnesium alloy construction and an advanced system of hermetic seals. Work in the rain and don’t worry about the water drops. Keep shooting if temperatures plummet — the E-M1 Mark III is freezeproof down to 14°F/-10°C. A dustproof design means worry-free shooting on windy beaches and deserts. Even changing lenses in dusty conditions is a cinch. Olympus's Supersonic Wave Filter oscillates 30,000 times per second to shake dust and dirt away from the image sensor to effectively eliminate dark spots.

PROFESSIONAL QUALITY SHUTTER

Sure, you’re tough on your camera. That’s why Olympus designed a shutter unit that could stand years of use (and abuse).

Heavy duty is putting it lightly. Olympus's rigorous internal testing proves that the E-M1 Mark III’s shutter unit has a reliable lifespan of more than 400,000 actuations. For many professionals, this equates to years of reliable shooting.

DUAL CARD SLOTS

Manage your images easier. Dual card slots give you four recording settings to help you organize your photos and video.

The more you shoot, the more to manage. The E-M1 Mark III has the answer for that — dual card slots. You’ll have the flexibility to record JPEG and RAW separately, automatically switch to the second card when first is full, record to different cards based on image quality mode or record to both cards simultaneously. Slot 1 is UHS-II / UHS-I compatible, while Slot 2 is UHS-I compatible.

FIRMWARE UPDATES WITH AN APP

The latest firmware helps ensure your E-M1 Mark III is operating at its peak performance. Use the free OI.Share app to easily keep your camera up-to-date with firmware upgrades using a smart device. Plus, use OI.Share to quickly backup and restore camera settings.

DON’T JUST KEEP UP WITH ANY SUBJECT. CAPTURE IT.

Your work depends on a camera with scorching speed. Count on the E-M1 Mark III to reliably track and capture moving subjects for brilliant shots every time.

ON-CHIP PHASE DETECTION + CONTRAST DETECTION AF

Wildlife. Automobiles. Sports. The E-M1 Mark III accurately follows any moving subject and always nails the shot.

The E-M1 Mark III features 121-point all-cross-type on-chip Phase Detection plus Contrast Detection AF across the sensor plane. The cross-type Phase Detection points detect vertical and horizontal lines with industry-leading accuracy, driving fast and accurate AF performance at any aperture.

60 FPS

Shoot at the speed of life. Take an astounding 60 high-resolution frames per second and capture split-second action with ease.

The E-M1 Mark III boasts some of the fastest shooting speeds of any DSLR or mirrorless camera. Capture up to 60 fps with AF/AE Lock, or up to 18 fps with AF/AE Continuous Tracking. While in Continuous Tracking Mode, use the Live View display to follow your subject in live time through the electronic viewfinder for easy composing.

PRO CAPTURE

Capturing split-second action used to be more luck than skill. Not anymore. Olympus's Pro Capture feature makes nailing impossible shots easy.

Pro Capture Mode makes shooting split-second action incredibly easy. It starts buffering a running series of up to 35 full-resolution images the moment you press the shutter button halfway. When you see the moment you want to capture, fully press the shutter button to instantly save that moment plus the buffered shots. Because you can go back 35 frames, you’ll always get the split-second image you want. Shoot in either RAW or JPEG and never miss an exciting moment.

JOYSTICK MULTI SELECTOR

A conveniently placed joystick lets you shift AF areas so you can quickly react to any moving subject while shooting sequentially or capturing video. You don’t even need to take your eye off the viewfinder.

MAX 100W OF USB POWER DELIVERY

Keep the power flowing to your camera. The E-M1 Mark III enables high-speed battery charging with a USB cable. If you forgot your charger, don’t worry. Power up in your car or hotel room. Go from zero percent to fully charged in about 2 hours. You can also connect a power bank to the camera for super long-duration shooting — a helpful feature when working outdoors or in extreme cold.

LV BOOST

Shooting dark scenes such as a starry sky with Live View is a little brighter and easier. Live View Boost lets you see subjects in the dark for more effective framing.

HIGH-SPEED ELECTRONIC VIEWFINDER

What you see is what you capture with the E-M1 Mark III’s EVF. Get distortion-free display and all the speed you need to follow any type of subject. The EVF works with Live View so you preview camera setting changes in real-time. Olympus's viewfinder boasts a max frame rate of 120 fps with an imperceptible 0.005 sec response time - all so you can compose fast-moving subjects with ease.

AUTOFOCUSING THAT HELPS YOU NAIL YOUR FOCUS, EVERY TIME.

Pinpoint accuracy. Effortless autofocusing. Greater functionality. Olympus's innovative autofocus system will help you produce work that gets you more work.

STARRY SKY AF

Astrophotography using manual focus can be time-consuming and inaccurate. Olympus's new Starry Sky AF Mode makes it easier to capture breathtaking astro shots.

Capturing the galaxy has never been easier. Olympus's new Starry Sky AF Mode features two settings to take brilliant astro images. Olympus's Speed Priority setting works in tandem with the E-M1 Mark III’s powerful built-in image stabilization system so you can shoot night skies handheld using wide lenses or a standard zoom. Olympus's Accuracy Priority setting lets you use a tripod and a telephoto lens to pinpoint specific stars with incredible precision. One mode. Two settings. And endless starry photos.

FACE PRIORITY AND EYE PRIORITY AF

If you shoot portraits, switch on Olympus's most accurate Face and Eye Priority AF and take your work to new levels of sharpness and definition.

Shooting split-second action is effortless with Pro Capture Mode. It starts buffering a running series of up to 35 high-resolution images the moment you press the shutter button halfway. When you see the moment you want to capture, fully press the shutter button to instantly save that moment plus the buffered shots. Because you can go back 35 frames, you get the split-second image you want without any lag. Never miss an exciting moment again.

AF TARGET MODES

Easily customize your AF target to match your subject and its movement for accurate autofocusing performance.

Choose from six AF Target Modes. Single Point captures still or small subjects. Group 9-Point is for moving subjects like aircraft and sports. Use Group 5-Point for bunched together subjects. All-Point helps capture subjects moving across the frame and use Group 25-Point for moving subjects like birds or small animals. Small Single Point gives you pinpoint accuracy for small objects like a flower. Plus, you can customize the shape and movement of your AF target. Choose from any odd number of points from 11 vertical and 11 horizontal and from three levels of horizontal and vertical area movement steps.

ORIENTATION LINKED AF TARGETS

Customize the AF target and AF area position depending on whether you’re shooting in a horizontal or vertical position.

C-AF SENSITIVITY SETTINGS

Choose from five C-AF tracking sensitivity settings depending on your subject and scene.

C-AF + MF

Scenes or subjects can change quickly. You can instantly switch from C-AF to MF by turning the focusing ring on your M.Zuiko lenses.

AF LIMITER

This feature lets you establish three in-camera AF operating distances that can be used with all autofocus lenses. Program a custom button to instantly turn the limiters on or off.

AF LOW-INTENSITY LIMIT -6EV

It helps you use the autofocus system to take clear, sharp images when your shooting in the dark or photographing low-contrast subjects.

Shoot in Live Composite Mode for up to 6 hours to easily capture dramatic photos of star trails, evocative nighttime cityscapes, and moody landscapes without worrying about over or underexposure. Live Bulb Mode and Live Time Mode let you view your image’s exposure level in real-time so you’ll know when it’s perfect.

Focus Bracketing lets you capture up to 999 shots at varying focus points. Use Olympus Workspace photo editing software to create dramatic macro shots that have an even greater depth of field.

SILENT MODES

There are times when you want to be unseen and unheard. Silent Mode quiets all camera noise so you can shoot unnoticed.
