| Image Sensor Type | 4/3 Stacked BSI Live MOS Sensor |
|---|---|
| Number of Pixels | Number of effective pixels: Approx. 20.4 million pixels |
| Total number of pixels: Approx. 22.9 million pixels | |
| Aspect Ratio | 4:03 |
| Dust Reduction | Supersonic Wave Filter (image sensor dust reduction system) |
| Hα 100% transmission | This is a dedicated astrophotography camera in which the IR-cut filter positioned in front of the image sensor has been re-engineered to achieve higher Hα transmission. This optimization enables significantly improved rendering of red emission nebulae with enhanced spectral fidelity and color accuracy. |
Points of difference compared to the OM-3
| Custome Mode | The mode dial’s C1, C2, and C3 Custom Modes are preconfigured to provide quick access to functions optimized for astrophotography. Each mode applies image-quality settings designed to produce natural-looking results for its intended shooting scenario.
Custom Mode C1: A mode that utilizes Handheld High-Res Shot to capture high-resolution astrophotography. Custom Mode C2: A mode for effortless and straightforward night-sky shooting. Custom Mode C3: A mode designed for handheld star-scape photography. |
|---|---|
| Color Profile | By using the Color Profile Control function, astrophotography and star-scape photography can be rendered with greater impact and visual appeal.
C1 + COLOR1: Suitable when you want to capture nebulae, constellations, and other celestial objects with higher image quality. C2 + COLOR2: Ideal for achieving a balanced, high-quality capture of both the night sky and terrestrial landscapes. C3 + COLOR2: Allows natural-color night-sky photography in a single shot, making it convenient for handheld or quick shooting. |
| Stacking Shooting | Handheld High Res Shot of the OM-3 ASTRO composites 12 shots for a high-definition, low-noise image with a single press of the shutter button. |
| Optional Body Mount Filter:
- Light Pollution Cut Filter (BMF-LPC01) - Soft Filter (BMF-SE01) |
We offer a dedicated accessory, the 'Body Mount Filter' (sold separately), designed to be attached near the body mount area of the OM-3 ASTRO. |
