IP53 Rating

The OM-3 is IP53 certified for reliability in any weather—perfect for both urban adventures and nature explorations. Its internal seals, reinforced with durable rubber gaskets, provide dependable protection against dust and water splashes. Whether you're navigating bustling city streets or trekking through rugged trails, the OM-3 is designed to keep up with your lifestyle, offering peace of mind even in challenging conditions.

From heat to freezing cold

The OM-3 camera is designed to withstand some of the most challenging environments on the planet, making it a reliable companion for any adventure. From enduring the sweltering heat of the Sahara to the freezing temperatures of the Arctic Circle, this camera is engineered to perform without compromise. Its robust construction offers the following key features: Splashproof – Resistant to water exposure, ensuring functionality even in wet conditions. Freezeproof – Capable of operating in extremely low temperatures without sacrificing performance. Dustproof – Sealed against dust and dirt, ideal for rugged and dusty environments. No matter where your passion for photography takes you, the OM-3 is equipped to handle the elements.

Super Sonic Wave Filter

The OM-3’s dust reduction system is a sophisticated feature designed to keep the camera’s internals pristine, ensuring flawless, distraction-free photography. At the heart of this system is the Super Sonic Wave Filter, which vibrates at an astonishing rate of over 30,000 times per second every time the camera starts up. This rapid vibration effectively dislodges any dust or particles that might settle on the sensor, safeguarding image quality and enabling users to focus on capturing their best shots.

IBIS up to 7.5 stops EV

The OM-3’s image stabilization truly sets a new benchmark in its class. With an impressive 7.5 stops of EV when paired with Sync IS lenses and 6.5 stops of EV internally, it delivers unparalleled stability for photographers. Whether you are capturing the vibrant energy of bustling city streets or the intricate beauty of wildlife in motion, the OM-3 ensures sharp, stunning images with ease, even in challenging conditions.

Quad Pixel AF

This makes it an ideal choice for capturing sports, wildlife, or any action-packed scenes where every split second counts. With such advanced performance, photographers can confidently rely on the OM-3 to freeze moments with remarkable clarity and precision.

Quick & Slow video switch

Capturing special moments has never been easier with the ability to record both slow-motion and hyperlapse videos. Slow-motion videos allow you to freeze time, revealing details and movements that are otherwise too fast for the human eye to perceive. On the other hand, hyperlapse videos compress extended periods into captivating sequences, perfect for showcasing transitions, journeys, or the passage of time. These features unlock new creative possibilities, making everyday moments extraordinary.
