Description
Enhancing photographic capabilities
It’s here: The new flagship of the Four Thirds Standard-based Olympus E-System. The E-3 gives photographers a high-performance tool that is primed for any assignment and satisfies the most stringent demands for D-SLR photography. It represents the ultimate choice for the professional photographer and provides the highest levels of speed and image quality as well as Live View capabilities and the ultimate in reliability.
SPEED – NEVER MISS AN OPPORTUNITY
The E-3 boasts the world’s quickest autofocus system and with 5fps performance in burst mode plus fast shutter speeds of up to 1/8000th sec., not a moment of action needs to be missed.
IMAGE QUALITY – PICTURE PERFECT PERFORMANCE
The E-3 incorporates the extremely effective built-in image stabilisation system and the breakthrough Supersonic Wave Drive (SWD) to reduce camera shake and protect against dust. Significantly contributing to the camera’s excellent imaging performance is the 10 Megapixel High Speed Live MOS sensor and the advanced TruPic III image processor.
LIVE VIEW – UNPRECEDENTED CONTROL
The E-3 provides photographers with the convenience of a continuous Live View on its multi-angle 2.5’’/6.4 HyperCrystal LCD to allow truly unique shots from the most unusual perspectives. In addition, the effects of Shadow Adjustment Technology, White Balance and Exposure Compensation can be viewed directly on the LCD in real time.
RELIABILITY – EXCEPTIONAL DURABILITY
Its magnesium alloy construction combines with dust and splashproof protection lets the E-3 go wherever the action is. The power grip and a wide selection of lenses are equally protected against the elements, thereby considerably reducing the risk of downtime.
