Olympus Australia is pleased to announce the newest Micro Four Thirds System standard interchangeable lens camera, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III, scheduled to go on sale late November 2019. This model features dustproof and splashproof abilities in a compact and lightweight body. Featuring the reliability, high speed and high precision AF of the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II, the E-M5 Mark III offers outstanding portability when paired with a compact and lightweight M.Zuiko Digital lenses.
The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III is a highly portable interchangeable lens camera equipped with the same 121-point all cross-type On-chip Phase Detection AF as the OM-D E-M1 Mark II, offering high-speed, high-precision autofocus capabilities in a compact, lightweight body. It also features a powerful image stabilisation along with versatile shooting features such as Live Composite and Live Bulb. Even when paired with the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm F2.8 PRO lens, it remains a compact, lightweight camera system that can fit in a small bag to take anywhere.
The 121-point all cross-type On-chip Phase Detection AF delivers high-speed precision focusing, even for fast-moving subjects where focus is difficult, so users never miss a photo opportunity.
Olympus interchangeable lens camera systems’ biggest advantage is their amazing mobility thanks to the compact, lightweight camera system. The combination of a high-performance lens line-up and powerful image stabilisation gives sharp, high- quality photos and videos in a variety of scenes.
Key Features
I. Outstanding portability and high image quality in a compact, lightweight dustproof and splashproof body
Compact, lightweight overall system
All parts of the E-M5 Mark III have been miniaturized to provide the smallest body possible. Dramatic improvements in power-saving performance make it possible to use the more compact BLS-50 battery for an even more lightweight and compact form overall. This model can easily be carried on trips even when paired with a large-diameter standard zoom lens. The compact system size means that users can shoot for long periods of time in locations where tripods cannot be used so photo opportunities are not missed. Olympus also offers a diverse lineup of high-resolution, compact, lightweight interchangeable lenses.
High image quality from the OM-D E-M1 Mark II
Just as on the E-M1 Mark II, this model boasts a combination of the approximate 20.4 Megapixel Live MOS sensor, the latest high-speed TruePic VIII image processor, and powerful image stabilisation. When paired with high-resolution M.Zuiko Digital lenses, it is capable of capturing images with minimal noise even at high-sensitivity settings and delivers high image quality with minimal distortion up to the edges of the shot.
Excellent dustproof, splashproof and freezeproof performance
The entire camera body is sealed for high-performance dustproof, splashproof, and freezeproof capabilities so users can focus on shooting with the E-M5 Mark III1 without worrying about the environment. This model is also equipped with SSWF (Super Sonic Wave Filter) that vibrates the image sensor filter 30,000 times per second to drastically reduce the amount of dust and dirt that ends up in photos.
Delta shape that inherited from the OM-1
Across the globe, the Olympus OM-12 was highly regarded as a compact, high-performance system SLR. One of its iconic features was its delta shape of the viewfinder, resulting in a classy form that made it a pleasure to own. This delta shape is used on this model, along with thumb rests on the back with an enlarged grip to provide a more solid hold on the camera.
