WORLD-LEADING PORTABILITY

The E-M5 Mark III is part of the world’s most portable camera system. Carry less. Shoot more. It’s that simple.

IMAGE QUALITY

The Olympus advanced 20MP Live MOS Sensor, TruePic™ VIII image processor and world-class M.Zuiko lenses work together to produce distortion-free images with edge-to-edge sharpness.

WEATHERSEALED CONSTRUCTION

When your camera is splashproof, dustproof and freezeproof, you can stop worrying about the weather and focus on shooting.

121-POINT ALL-CROSS TYPE ON-CHIP PHASE DETECTION AF

The same autofocus system used by pros has all the speed and precision you need to track and capture challenging, fast-moving subjects.

PRO CAPTURE

Capturing action that barely lasts a fraction of a second is nearly impossible. Pro Capture Mode makes the impossible possible.

30FPS SEQUENTIAL SHOOTING

Fire off a burst of 20MP images at 30fps to effortlessly keep up with and capture any fast-moving action.

5-AXIS IMAGE STABILIZATION

Camera shake equals blurry images. Our powerful 5-Axis in-body Image Stabilization system compensates for all types of camera movement giving you crisp, clear images and video.
