Ultra High-Precision Mirrorless Autofocus Performance.
This camera is equipped with 121-point all cross-type On-chip Phase Detection AF sensor for fast and accurate autofocus. It offers 75% vertical coverage and 80% horizontal coverage of the screen for a wide focusing area. Paired with the advanced AF algorithm, this feature can continually focus on fast-moving subjects with a high degree of precision.

- New Starry Sky AF Mode for astrophotography
- Advanced Face Priority / Eye Priority AF Modes for sharp portraits
Pro Capture mode for split-second moments
In Pro Capture mode recording begins upon the 1st shutter release and up to 35 frames are retroactively recorded from the point of the 2nd shutter release. This mode makes it possible to record scenes that are difficult to capture due to time lag in the subjects’ reactions or camera operation time lag. You essentially "arm" the camera with the first button press and fire the shots with the second after the action has finished.
Because there is no blackout during shooting, it is possible to keep an eye on subject movement while pressing the shutter button. RAW shooting is also supported.
Sharp Portraits thanks to Advanced Face Priority / Eye Priority AF
Face Priority / Eye Priority AF, a mode that automatically detects and focuses on people’s faces and eyes is now more advanced and faster.
The new image processing engine TruePic IX features higher processing capabilities and improved AF algorithms for dramatic improvements in detection performance for small faces and eyes. This results in stable focusing on subjects even in the scenes where face detection had difficulties in the past, such as the sides of faces. It is also possible to use either the buttons or touch operations to select faces when shooting still images or videos, and detection on or off can be changed with the touch of a single button.
Starry Sky AF Mode for Ultra High-Precision Astrophotography Autofocus
Setting out to revolutionize the world of astrophotography, Olympus has added a new autofocus mode Starry Sky which is tailor-made for astrophotographers.
The new Starry Sky AF algorithm enables accurate focusing on the tiniest of stars. You can now use ultra-high-precision autofocus instead of having to rely on tedious manual focus at maximum magnification for your next Astro excursion.
Starry Sky AF has two different modes suitable for different use cases:
- Speed Priority mode (default setting) prioritizes focusing speed and faster complete AF operations. This feature makes handheld astrophotography possible using a wide-angle lens in combination with powerful image stabilisation.
- Accuracy Priority uses a more fine-tuned focus scan method and is effective for shooting specific stars with telephoto lenses on a tripod.
Multi selector for quickly shifting AF areas
A multi selector makes it possible to quickly shift AF areas with your thumb while looking through the viewfinder. It is possible to accurately focus during sequential shooting, even on subjects that move erratically.
High-durability shutter unit
This model is equipped with a high-durability shutter unit that clears 400,000 operation test. It offers a high level of reliability that even professional photographers who constantly use the shutter can feel comfortable with.
The new Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III Camera is the perfect tool for hassle-free travel photography.
The rugged magnesium alloy body of the OM-D E-M1 Mark III features a dustproof, splashproof and freezeproof design that enables shooting in any location and environment.
Break free from heavy gear with an overall camera system, including interchangeable lenses, focused on delivering superb mobility. The compact and lightweight design offer high image quality and the high performance expected of a professional camera without the bulk. If you are sick and tired of lugging around a huge camera body but need professional performance then the E-M1 III is the camera for you!
Handheld photography supported by world-class 7.5 shutter speed steps of stabilisation.
By synchronizing the in-lens image stabilisation of supported lenses with the in-body 5-axis image stabilisation, the E-M1 MK III can achieve impressive 7.5 shutter speed steps of compensation with 5-axis sync IS.
This powerful image stabilisation enables shooting in dark locations and with super-telephoto lenses without using a tripod for maximum freedom. The in-body system ensures image stabilisation with all attached lenses of up to 7.0 shutter speed steps of compensation performance.
Rugged, compact and lightweight MFT Mirrorless System Camera
The solid magnesium alloy body features sealing across the entire construction for a high level of dustproof, splashproof, and freezeproof performance.

High-speed USB charging on the go.
Charge on the go with the included Lithium-ion Battery BLH-1 which can be fully charged via USB power source in as little as two hours when installed in the camera. Compatible with the USB PD (USB Power Delivery) the E-M1 III can also be powered via USB Power Banks, making it possible to shoot for longer periods of time.
Advanced Dust Reduction System with a New Super-effective Sensor Coating
The E-M1 III camera can vibrate its SSWF (Super Sonic Wave Filter) in front of the image sensor 30,000 times per second to shake off dust and dirt. It also incorporates the new sensor coating from the OM-D E-M1X making it even more difficult for dust and dirt to stick to the image sensor than ever before.
Stable Handheld 4K/C4K video with OM-D Movie and Log Video
The E-M1 Mark III is equipped with an image stabilisation mode (M-IS1) specifically designed for video recording. This mode uses electronic stabilisation combined with in-body 5-axis stabilisation to deliver powerful stabilisation for handheld video without gimbals.
Ensuring maximum colour grading freedom, OM-Log400 shooting preserves details in shadows and highlights. In order to make Live View images more visible, a View Assist function is available, which converts the colour gamut to Full HD standard BT.709 equivalent for display.
