The E-3 DSLR is built for people who are passionate about photography. This camera offers unique technological advances in Speed, Image Quality, Live Viewing, and Reliability.
Speed is a key element in digital SLR photography and the E-3 comes ready to perform. It provides fast start-up and wake-up times, a 5fps continuous shooting speed, high-precision shutter control, and unparalleled high-speed autofocus performance. The E-3 can capture 5fps, and with it's high-speed processing and data transfer, continuous shooting is only limited by how much your memory card can hold. The camera also employs a highly reliable mirror construction — engineered to achieve the precision required for the high-speed 1/8000 second shutter. The E-3's fully crossed array high-speed 11-point auto focusing system and precision tracking performance (side-to-side and near-to-far) provides exacting auto focus precision at exceptional speeds.
The E-3 brings together a number of enhanced technologies to push the limits of digital imaging such as advanced image stabilization, superior color processing and precision-crafted digital specific lenses. With its sophisticated in-body image stabilization, the E-3 delivers sharp shots in low light or with a telephoto lens even without a tripod. The 10.1 megapixel high-speed Live MOS sensor features excellent dynamic range, accurate color fidelity, and a new, advanced circuit to eliminate noise. The precision crafted Zuiko Digital lenses compliment the E-3's sensor to produce photos with bright colors, and incredible edge-to-edge sharpness.
The dual-axis variable-angle Live View monitor allows you to conveniently capture scenes that would require a difficult posture or a little bit of luck when using an optical viewfinder. With the E-3, you can easily and accurately compose and shoot wide-angle scenes over the top of a crowd or macro shots from ground level.
With the E-3 Olympus has developed an impressive array of highly reliable new technologies essential for serious SLR photographers. The E-3 is equipped with a large optical viewfinder with 100% field of view. The camera's body is constructed from a magnesium-alloy, making it lightweight yet strong and rugged. The durable shutter mechanism has been tested to 150,000 cycles. With the Supersonic Wave Filter dust will no longer get in between you and a great shot.
Features
- Exclusive 11-point biaxial auto focus system coupled with the new (SWD) Supersonic Wave Drive lenses provides exacting auto focus precision at exceptional speeds.
- Continuous shooting, up to five frames per second, means you can capture fast-moving moments in time and get amazing results. The UDMA CompactFlash compatibility enhances capture speeds for the ultimate in shooting performance.
- 1/8000-second high-speed, high-precision shutter enables you to freeze even the fastest subjects. Or, set shutter speeds as long as 60 seconds in Manual or Automatic settings.
- Supersonic Wave Drive (SWD) in-body Image Stabilization System effectively reduces blur and allows you to get up to a five step EV stabilization effect with all Zuiko Digital Lenses, and all Four Thirds Format Lenses.
- High-performance 10.1-megapixel Live MOS Sensor accurately reproduces subject details with rich tones and natural colors as well as lower power consumption.
- Increased reading speed supports 5 fps continuous shooting.
- TruePic III digital image processing system produces superior image quality and shadow detail.
- Live View shooting provides the next generation of composition control in digital SLR photography.
- The E-3's Live Simulation allows you to check exposure, white balance and composition -in real time, while you compose — with the integrated Live View technology.
- 2.5-inch dual-axis, free-angle swivel Live View monitor provides a 100% accurate representation of your shooting scene.
- HyperCrystal wide-angle display, with 360-degree articulation, makes composition and image viewing possible at any angle.
- Dust Reduction System, with the Supersonic Wave Filter (SWF) self-cleaning ultrasonic sensor unit, eliminates dust particles on the sensor by silently vibrating 30,000 times per second, ensuring spot-free images.
- 100% accurate high eye point optical viewfinder, delivers the precise compositional accuracy demanded by the most discriminating photographer.
- Rugged magnesium-alloy construction coupled with advanced splash and dust protection, make the E-3 the perfect choice for photographers who demand the most from their equipment, in any situation.
- Durable shutter mechanism tested to 150,000 cycles. The pro-level shutter ensures reliability, even at five frames per second, thanks to a durable shutter mechanism.
