See the OM-3 in action
With the right eye, you’ll see it. With the right tool, you’ll capture it. Discover the OM-3 with our technical experts in these short videos on creativity and connectivity.
AI Subject Detection AF
The OM-3 intelligently recognizes and tracks subjects such as birds, animals, humans, planes, trains, and automobiles, in real time, ensuring fast, precise focus even in complex scenes and changing situations.
Never miss a moment.
OM-3 brings serious speed to fast-moving moments, with up to 120 fps sequential shooting in S-AF mode. Switch to C-AF and track subjects at up to 50 fps, so you can stay locked on the action when every split second counts.
Pro Capture
Pro Capture pre-records frames while the shutter is half-pressed and saves them when fully pressed, ensuring perfect timing in fast action and street photography, so you never miss the moment.
IBIS
The OM-3’s image stabilisation sets the bar high for its class. Up 7.5 stops EV with Sync IS lenses and 6.5 stops EV internally, you can capture the energy of city streets or the beauty of wildlife with ease.
Stacked Sensor
The stacked BSI Live MOS sensor and TruePic X image processor work together to dramatically reduce noise at high sensitivities. With a standard range up to ISO 25600 and a maximum of ISO 102400, low light is no longer a limit. Capture fast-moving subjects with precision — even when conditions aren't on your side.
Explore the Creative Dial and its 8 Distinct Film-like Profiles
Creative Dial
Creative Dial is your gateway to creative photography. With Colour and Mono modes, you can choose from eight distinct, film-like profiles to match your vision. The Colour Creator mode allows you to craft unique monochromatic looks and fine-tune colours to suit your exact preferences. Art Mode brings all the art filters into easy access.
Colour and monochrome profiles
Colour and monochrome profiles can be saved as presets to unleash your creativity. You can customise each film-like profile to your liking and share them with others.
4x Colour Profiles
4x Monochrome Profiles
Sharing your film-like profiles
After customizing your colour and monochrome profiles, you can share them with other users, who can then upload them to their camera via OM Workspace.
OM Workspace is OM SYSTEM’s free photo editing and image management software.

High Res Shot Mode
High Res Shot Mode composites multiple frames for stunning detail and reduced noise in a compact body. Tripod High Res Shot delivers ~80MP from eight sensor-shifted frames. Handheld High Res Shot captures ~50MP from 12 frames — no tripod required.
Live ND
Live ND now supports up to ND64 — six levels from ND2 to ND64 — compositing multiple frames to simulate long exposures even in bright conditions. Achieve gorgeous slow shutter effects on any lens, no physical filter needed. The result: dramatic motion with minimal light loss and reduced noise.
Live GND
GND beautifully balances high-contrast scenes by compositing bright and dark areas into a single, gorgeously finished image. Adjust GND step (2, 4, 8), filter type (Soft, Medium, Hard), and boundary position right in the viewfinder. Unlike physical filters, Live GND works across every lens — including super wide-angle and fisheye — making it a powerful tool for landscape photography.
Focus Stacking
Focus Stacking shifts focus across multiple frames and composites them into a single image with extraordinary depth of field — no need to stop down the aperture. From intricate macro details to sweeping landscapes, every plane stays tack sharp. Composite images are saved as JPEG with a slightly narrower angle of view, with on-screen guides showing the final crop as you shoot.
HDR
HDR varies exposure across multiple frames, then combines the best detail from each into a single image with expansive dynamic range. From bright skies to deep shadows, every tonal range stays beautifully preserved.
Multiple Exposure
Multiple Exposure combines two shots into a single creative image — capture both in the moment, or blend a new shot with a RAW file already on your memory card. The composite saves at your current image quality settings, opening up endless artistic possibilities.
Weather-sealed & ultralight
IP53 Rating
IP53 certified for reliability in any weather—perfect for both urban adventures and nature explorations. OM-3’s internal seals, reinforced with rubber gaskets, ensure reliable protection against the nature’s elements.
From heat to freezing cold
Camera is built to stand extreme weather from heat of Sahara to Arctic Circle’s freezing tempatures. OM-3 is:
Splashproof
Freezeproof
Dustproof
Super Sonic Wave Filter
OM-3’s dust reduction system ensures camera’s internals stay clean, so your photos remain flawless and free of distractions.
Super Sonic Wave Filter vibrates over 30,000 times per second upon startup of the camera.
4K 60p Video with Slow & Quick Mode
Quick & Slow video switch
Easily record slow-motion videos that capture movements too fast for the eye to follow and hyperlapse videos that condense long recording times.
OM Cinema 1 & 2
OM-3 introduces all-new creative video modes, OM Cinema 1 & 2. With these new modes you can capture cinematic videos without need of colour grading.
OM-Log400 & RAW
OM-3 is capable of capturing internal 10-bit H.265 video with OM-Log400 colour profile, preserving more data in highlights and shadows. ProRes RAW capture is also available through external recorder.
Powerful build in a compact form
Classic meets cutting-edge
Elegant design encased in a premium metal body, combining ergonomic craftsmanship with enduring reliability much like its original predecessor.
Engineered comfort, crafted elegance
When form follows function, every switch and dial is enjoyable to use. It draws aesthetic inspiration from vintage OM SYSTEM cameras that first appeared in the 1970s.
The past in the present
The OM-3 embodies nearly a century of history, a legacy built on dedication to creating cameras that capture life’s most precious moments.
